About Me

It's all about not missing what's wonderful, whatever you're doing. It's also about finding someone to share in all that, along with you.I'm a sucker for a new perspective. I fall hard into love. I'm good at looking past the things that can't be changed. I revel in any opportunity to make someone I care about happy. I'm learning how and when to do nothing. I'm learning not to be afraid, all the time. I'm developing a sense of just how tightly intertwined are the pain and love and joy and anger and curiosity and fear and thrill that are the flavors of this life.

My Interests

***Food; anthropologically, preparationally, consummarily. ***Photography, though the pictures from your vacation are probably crappy - face it, it's true - and I don't know how to use a film camera effectively yet; how can I, when this digital one does everything for me? ***Getting excercise through running around and playing. Playing in the woods is my favorite for this, and it's great for sitting still in, too. ***Animals. Natural places. Our bodies are the same as those that carried humans around 10,000 years ago, and they still are made to be surrounded with life - not concrete and steel. ***The roots, foundations, and bases of everything - where'd that come from? Why's that like that? How is it that someone could be like that? What makes us do this? What the hell IS that?

I'd like to meet:

1. My daughter, when she's 30. 2. Myself, and findout if I'm a prick. 3. The woman I'm going to marry.

Music:

Movies:

40 year old virgin. Baraka. The Lord of The Rings movies are great. Enter The Dragon. Beautiful Girls. What The Bleep Do We Know. Dream.

Television:

Books:

Jitterbug perfume. The Hobbit. The Stranger. How To Read A Person Like A Book. The Valley of Fear.

Heroes:

the Buddha.

I'm reading a book called "Create Your Own Reality."  The premise is that each of us, every moment of every day, is actually, literally creating the physical world around us.  As far as I ca...

and.... we're off!

I'm going down south, to the land of the pines, thumbing my way to North Carolina.  Staring up the road, I'm prayin to God I see headlights.
