About Me

Ride the tiger.I no longer have an issue with being a Dance-Theater person at Reed College. Even though I'm the only one in my class. Next year, in fact, I'll be the only one in the school. Vegan. It's not about animal rights or sympathy, it's about personal health/safety, global health concern, consumerist responsibility, social awareness, human rights and the wonderful feeling of a purring stomach. I dance, perform, poi, drum, live, love, travel, etc. Excuse my half assed attempt to update this thing from it's archaic state of 3 years ago. You can also find me on tribe.net, last.fm, and facebook, all of which are more useful and reliable forms of contacting me than myspace.

This government is mayhem.

I have BBC World News as my home page, so that everytime I open Safari, I get my daily dose of politically inspired depression, sometimes rage (but mostly dehabilitating depression). Bush has lifted b...

Love California.

Maybe I'm just on some manic high from listening to Ellen Allien loudly on my high fidelity head phones, but I'm really appreciating being home. I spent last night in Santa Cruz with Alexis, a couple ...

White gas flavored burps preturb me.

It's one thing to have the after-taste of cigarettes. It's another to have the taste of fuel stuck in your mouth. It's a a whole different ballpark to have that taste haunt you for the next day. Somet...

WHACK. Imagine the sound of something between an underripe melon and a coconut hitting the floor, having been thrown, not just dropped, with considerable force. That was the sound of my head on wood. ...
