more is never enough

About Me

insomniac workaholic with an insane life, amazing friends & family, a major penchant for traveling, partying all day and night, occasionally sleeping, getting rocked off my head, flirting unsuccessfully, attempting crazy whirlwind love affairs, trying to save money, and best of all NOW the happiest preschool teacher in all of Japan!Hot Premade Layouts - Music Bands - Animals - Movies I edited my profile at HotPremadeLayouts.com . check out these Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

ideal vacay scenario: watch an early AM sunrise with a slight breeze in my hair & not too hot or bright yet sunny, chilling & lounging around with friends on soft cushions & carpet-covered benches on the flat silent hotel roof or next to the beach, listened to breaking waves, smoking loads o' hash and/or shisha (preferably strawberry, mint, or apple flavored) & sipping hot mint tea with dumptruck loads of sugar OR the hot Chai from Nirvana (best in the fucking world!!!!!!!). OR if I am stuck in the real world and god forbid at work, then just looking busy if only to salvage my job by attempting then abandoning crossword puzzles, RE-re-reading my fav. books, then sneaking off to the kitchen to eat strawberries with cold milk. Then call it a day and get the hell out the building. Walk around in a daze and take photos with my many cameras, or find the time to ride my bike all over Osaka kind of drunk like an idiot. If I'm hung-over or a need a nice detox, then head over to my favorite ghetto sento and bathe for a few hours and/or relaxing at the stone spa (i enjoy sleeping on hot marble floors). Anytime i get insomnia or am bored or have free time, then chill at my friends apartments (occasionally mine too) and play games with random and not-so-random peeps in the wee AM hours before work when I should be sleeping (Checkers, Uno, Jeopardy, Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly, etc.), or I happily play whilst losing my money at Poker. I am known to working my ass off night and day, but try to keep it interesting by making the Japanese laugh by speaking Osaka-ben. I prefer to live dangerously by racing very fast vehicles through psychotic traffic conditions anytime I travel abroad (tuk-tuks, taxis, mopeds, bicycles, mini-vans, buses, etc.), and the KEY to fun, amazingly randomly great travel experiences is: no expectations, no map, no plan, no linguistic skills (yes, no and Toilet are enough), no phone, no hang-ups, no watch, no datebook, no timeline, NO PROBLEM!!!!! And OF COURSE one of my lucky talents and hobbies, participating in or initiating any other random illegal acts and things that strike my fancy (including but not limited to the use of intoxicants, fireworks, alcohol, theft, making public mischief, and overall general wreaking of general sin, havoc, and debauchery)!!!!!!!

I'd like to meet:

funny people, cool people, people who act sillilly (yes, it's really a word), drunk people, insane people, dark people, smart people, people people, living room people, bedroom people (I'm a bit of both), and OF COURSE my back-in-the-day friends in NY, NJ, and Europe. And of course, Elly my love so sweet! (that damn anthem)

Music:

i love many many many MANY kinds of music and bands... I last saw DJ Darren Emerson and my friend Dane Kane. The concerts coming up are "Little Barrie" on the 6th, "Ben Kweller" on the 16th, then "Summersonic 2007" on August 12th & 13th (i think?)!!! I recently re-heard some "oldies but goodies" music: Dido, Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Coldplay, and Sinead O'Connor.

Movies:

I don't really watch them anymore. Love 'em, but every time they come on i fall asleep.

Television:

there's one in my living room but I don't watch it. but occasionally I watch "House" on my friend's TV downstairs.

Books:

SOOO many i love. last re-re-read A Scanner Darkly, The Bell Jar, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Naked Lunch, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainence (did i spell that incorrectly?). Now re-reading "Within the Context of No Context" (a great little reader, a series of short essays on the silliness and inanity of modern culture in America)

Heroes:
