Don't be deceived by first impressions

About Me

How shall I put my life into a box? I am passionate about many things in my life including friends, cooking, dancing, and music. Most people discover quickly that I will do pretty much anything I can to help others. I'll admit upfront that I'm a geek and it comes in handy quite often. I rock the dance floor when I go out and I'm working on Salsa and learning the guitar.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Just about anyone.

Music:

Anything inventive. Lyrics with soul. Good Drum n Bass. Try me and I probably like it. Unless "it" happens to be country or some other song just rehashing a tired genre.

Movies:

I'm sure I will miss some great ones. What comes to mind at the moment are Fight Club, Garden State, High Fidelity, Animatrix (the soundtrack got me hooked), Kill Bill 1 & 2, Sin City...

Books:

The stack of books which I am reading on and off currently include: World Mythology (Minipedia); The Elements of Style (Writing); CHI—energy of harmony; the 7 habits of Highly Effective People; and, Silent Bob Speaks—The collected Writings of Kevin Smith.

Heroes:

I have great respect people who work hard to fulfill their passions (as long as those are not destructive to the rest of the world). I do not believe in elevating any person or people to any status above another.
