Walking! i love to walk everywhere. swimming! as i mentioned above. biking! tho some ass stole my bike years ago and i can't let it go and buy a new one. sewing! am quite handy with the stitching, although not formally taught (man, i sound like a g-ma). painting! i have yet to keep anything i have painted. mostly landscapes, and i love to give them as gifts. home improvements! not big projects, but am always trying to rearrange my space or re-color my enviornment. storage in nyc is tricky, so am always shifting stuff from one place to another. COCONUT! hanging with my main man and best friend coconut. he goes with me everywhere a dogger is allowed (and sometimes not!). we love sitting on the front steps and saying hi to all the lady pups that cruise down our block.
Someone with a creative soul. people who work in music/fashion/beauty/film/tv/video (all the people who have to hurry, then wait.... or.... wait, then hurry!!!). People who live with palm trees in their yard. i love sunshine and the beach. my 2 favorite places in the world are Anguilla (ahh cold heinekens at shoal bay) and Maui (ho'okipa beach to watch the surfers or the mist from rain in haiku). i have never surfed, but love the water and can spend all day swimming... so if you surf, swim, or just get the toes wet, we can talk. Traveling peeps. if you travel alot, i love to hear about it! i love a crazy road trip or random destination. Someone who knows nyc like the back of their hand. sharing secret restaurants, bars, parks and shopping is what us natives are sposed to do. also, i love finding the new hot spot, before reading about it in page six. those of you who may have hung out or worked at the club Nells on 14 street in the early years 86-92. i'd love to remeneice. if you went to Area, Danceteria, MK, Palladuim, The Underground, Studio 54, Red Zone, Limelight... etc. (i'll think of more) and last: Older people with young hearts, or young peeps with old hearts.

NY1 news for time/temp/late breaking info that can change the shape of my day. The Amazing Race and Survivior, for the exotic locales... not the contestants. National geographic, discovery, and travel channels... for new brain material. Entourage because i can indulge in the superficial side of life for 30 minutes. Big Love, cause its funny as hell that the dude has 3 wives and it's not all it's cracked up to be. all the Law And Order shows, cause they are shot locally and i just like em.
