I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


Looking to meet interesting new people for late night revelations, rocking out, dancing, waxing politics, cooking, drinks at local watering holes, camping, hiking, etc. Music is very essential to my being so I'm always playing (drums, bass, guitar) or listening to live or recorded music - I also love to travel and am always planning my next vacation to a new place or to some old place to meet up with friends - I love movies and am a huge fan of indie films - Love to snowboard... I'm usually riding up in Vermont (Killington/Pico and Sugarbush) in the winter...
Know anyone who wants to buy a house in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, or Connecticut? I can help them with finding the best mortgage (and refinancing), locating an aggressive real estate agent, and I will conduct the title search and complete the closing! :) Let me know!
Here's a pic from our first gig @ All Asia in Cambridge (12-17-05) Thanks to everyone who came out... I'll have a link to the rest of the pics in the blog soon! Check out more info about the Jordohn Bileau Collective HERE

The Providence Gardening Meetup!

I'd like to meet:

Positive people who love music and respect the earth. Musicians (bass, vocals, keys) in the Providence area who want to start a live hip-hop/rock/funk group. I play drums (influences include the Roots, Tribe, Mos Def, Talib, Soul Coughing, MMW, Common, Outkast, etc) and I have my own equipment and practice space.

I'd also like to meet mortgage brokers and real estate agents who want to work with a competitive real estate closing attorney.

“You can’t say, ‘We’re going to change the way people behave toward the world, but we’re not going to change the way they think about the world or the way they think about divine intentions in the world or the way they think about the destiny of man.’ As long as the people of your culture are convinced that the world belongs to them and that their divinely-appointed destiny is to conquer and rule it, then they are of course going to go on acting the way they’ve been acting for the past ten thousand years. They’re going to go on treating the world as if it were a piece of human property and they’re going to go on conquering it as if it were an adversary. You can’t change these things with laws. You must change people’s minds. And you can’t just root out a harmful complex of ideas and leave a void behind; you have to give people something that is as meaningful as what they’ve lost—something that makes better sense than the old horror of Man Supreme, wiping out everything on this planet that doesn’t serve his needs directly or indirectly.” - Ishmael (by Daniel Quinn)
