My Interests

well... being quite right brained... i'm an artist as mentioned... and my ultimate dream... is to be a fashion designer... or a rockstar... whatever comes first ;-) so for the time being... i'm just doing my thing...MY BODY ART...


Down the center of my back, in chinese kanji, is the Taoist saying, "The longest journey begins from where you stand..."The flowers we have chosen all have different meanings...Japanese peonies: symbolizes wealth and good fortune; prosperity...Spider chrysanthemum: symbolizes steadiness and determination...Lotus blossom: a strong symbol in buddhism, it symbolizes life...Cherry blossoms (sakura): symbolizes all things transient and evanescent in life...This piece was started in March '06 and completed Sept. '06.The tattoo artist working on me is Jason Trinh. Jason is an old friend of mine and I had only recently found him again by chance... He's opened his own shop in Sunset Beach... so if any of you are looking to get inked, come by and check out his shop... he does excellent work, he's reasonable... and he works fast!Tell him I sent you and he'll take care of you!

I'd like to meet:

people! and more people! people who are fun! people who can hold a relatively interesting, intelligent, and witty conversation... people who can introduce me to new ideas... teach me new things... open minded person seeking open minded people...

"i could have met you in a sandbox... i could have met you on the sidewalk... could i have missed my chance... and watched you walk away?"

Music:


acoutic guitars... twangy guitars... samba beats... lyrics that touch the soul... the artist shares their life experiences with you... the occasional unmeaningful, totally "on the surface" songs... some of this, some of that... love to find new music all the time!
favorite band of all time: smashing pumpkins with no doubt close behind...
other artists that constantly keep me interested: jack johnson, john mayer, jason mraz, liz phair...

Movies:

favorites: pulp fiction, chasing amy, muholland dr. to name a few... i love movies!

Books:

memoirs of a geisha, little women, angela's ashes... all great books... the art of seduction - great psychology book... love all of dan brown's books - da vinci code, angels and demons, digital fortress, deception point... i'm reading travel guides to europe right now since i plan on taking off for weeks when i finish school to explore... very interesting...
