About Me

Program Your Own Mind, Or the World Will Program it For You.

I teach WingTsun Kung Fu.. (you say it like 'wing chun'). Been doing the Fu since '97. It is one of the coolest experiences that I keep on having. Sonoma County WingTsun is my WingTsun gym in Petaluma, CA.

Got me some yoga goin' on. Makes you feel phenomenal it does. Runnin' lot's these days. Adventure hiking is tickling my fancy. And I got this new idea of mine to climb Mt. Shasta. Probably look to climb some other things after Shasta, just for kicks. But for now, Shasta is on deck. Getting all my gear together. GPS, tent, sleeping bag, backpack, etc. Pretty much a fitness and recreation enthusiast. Need to get another bike. It's been way to long since I've put foot to pedal.

I think Hawaii is on my not too distant agenda, here, soon. Never been, and the idea keeps creeping into my head. Need to fix that.

Been getting into wine these days. Working at a pretty cool restaurant in Santa Rosa called Rosso Pizzeria and Winebar . All organic, sustainable and bio-dynamic foods and wines. Neopolitan style pizza done in a wood burning oven imported from Naples. We were just voted into the top 100 restaurants in northern California by the SF Chronicle. Not too shabby. Keeps me on my toes, yeah.

Be Excellent to Each Other.

My Interests

Ritual. Fitness. Practitioner. WingTsun. Hiking, running, yoga, cycling. Friends. Coffee. Reading. Wine, Whiskey, Rum, Beer and MUSIC. Great food. My 4 cats and general belligerent mayhem in the service of a higher purpose. Not necessarily in any particular order.

I'd like to meet:

Inspired, energetic, open minded, adventurous types who like to go outside and play, are fun to talk, who get things done and enjoy the process.

Music:

Big on Trance at the moment. Slap some on my Nano, and away on my runs and hikes shall I, for hours go. Phuture Primitive is phenomenal. Shpongle is a lot of fun. Global Underground, Liquid Records and Twisted Records are great labels. The usual suspects of Fluke, Uberzone, Chemical Brothers and Crystal Method. AC/DC, Led Zepplin, Love and Rockets, Siouxsie and the Banshees. 70's Rock and Roll - come on, you know you like REO Speedwagon. The Buddha Bar and Buddha Lounge series. Pretty much anything I can move or zone to.

Movies:

Star Wars.

Television:

channel surfing - God is in between the button clicks. Sci-Fi, Discovery, History and the Food Network channels are bomb!.! God TV and Fox News make for good fun when I feel depressed about _my_ life and need a good laugh.

Books:

let's do authors - Neal Stephenson, Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison - the Invisibles. Some Phillip K. Dick and William GIbson. Joseph Campbell. Fritjof Capra. Michio Kaku. Shakespeare, Rumi, Kahlil Gibran, Miyamoto Musashi, Sun Tzu, Lao Tzu, Machiavelli. Steven King's the "Gunslinger" series.

Heroes:

The Invisibles. My Cats. My Friends.

Blade of Winter

Winter is upon us. This is the time to return to source. Recharge. Slow down and take stock of our lives, our world and the environment we create for ourselves. This is where new dreams, goals and cha...
