About Me

Lets see..I was born and raised in Boston, MA, and moved to the West coast in 1999 to pursue a career in happiness. Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday that I was living in MA. But time has surely gone by. I have made an amazing group of friends, got my masters degree in social work, met the love of my life (Annie), and have learned how to live West Coast style. However, I have not forgotten my roots. I still put my trash in the barrel, push a carriage in a grocery store, and drink from a bubbler. For the most part I try to go with the flow. I am pretty easy going. Besides my need to fill my procrastination quota, I am a relatively determined individual and sometimes enough is never enough. I have a love for learning and strive to put my education to use when I can. I have an immense passion to make others lives happy and fulfilling-it drives me. In my down time I enjoy hanging with friends, reminiscing about old times: D, and making more memories to add to the mix. I love dancing, the outdoors, spending time with a good book, and lots of traveling to enrich my life and open new doors. "One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of shore for a very long time." Andre Gide:

My Interests

I'm into a little bit of everything. From big travel plans to little day trips, I love to get away and enjoy the moments. I love to sit and be idol with friends, whether it is playing Suduko, reading, having a cup of coffee, or watching movies. I love to dance and go out to new and old places with friends. Mostly, I like to cuddle with my lil annie bananie. I like to knit sweaters with my toes.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that is fun, sincere, and who will inspire me with their talents. Someone to stimulate my mind. Also, the bastard that got my dog pregnant..(they made cute pups) "The fiery sun of my passions evaporates the love lakes of my soul Clouds my thoughts and rains you into existance..."- Saul Williams "... here is the deepest secret nobody knows?(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud?and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows?higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)?and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart?i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)..."?~ e. e. cummings
