Dance like no one is watching...

About Me

On the precipice of each twenty-something hammer fall i nail the pieces of my mortality together in the shape of a shift in my thinking. Intense, extreme, no medium setting, with puns that may cause vomiting and/or diarrhea. Addicted to the moments that never seem to come quick enough, constantly trying to catch the ones that are happening right now, a perpetual rat race that stops when i remember to let my feet enjoy the cool grass and let my skin absorb the sun. Carrots, zuchini, tampons and film...

My Interests

i Love live shows, especially ones with dancing, which for me is pretty much every show. I like hiking occasionally, when all you need is an epic journey to put life back into perspective. I'm really into ninja, ninpo, ninjutsu, kuji-in, the most open and adaptive historical martial art as far as i can tell. I practice my own little musician's butchered version of it, and it works for me. Meditating, channeling, throwing the skank down, freedom of expression. I dabble in the guitar, write songs, sing, or try to. I write free form, journal, rhyme, lyric, poetry. Words are my healthiest indulgence. Sometimes I party way too hard, then split ridiculous and turn the other sober extreme. I don't think i have a medium setting. I like hacking (not computers). Sew my own clothing, can't do the mall, or anything else, it never fits quite right. Recently i discovered scrapbooking, collages and collections of paper memories pasted into a book you can fill with your words as well. dreads, love dreads.

Music:

Love it. It is all i need.

Movies:

The Princess Bride is the greatest film ever made. Not to mention Monty Python, Black Adder, Adam Sandler, Pauly Shore.

Books:

Anne Rice, J.R.R. Tolkien, Orson Scott Card, Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Tom Robbins, Pierre Berton, Douglas Adams.
