About Me

I am greatly influenced by my immediate environment I have some kind of passion for sharing humanity with my surroundings, there's lots to share. I'm faithful that anybody is worthy of investment and believe in local community and good relations.

My Interests

sustainability, always noticing when I'm contradicting myself-and revising, conciousness, dancing, conversations about anything that involves any perception of reality. seeing other people create and work together. Working together. Speaking German and learning other languages. realistic education in public schools (as an alternative to whack authority)

I'd like to meet:

People that are pro-eachother, visual artists audio fartists collagists blue artists rock artists muralists anybody people who have extra art supplies painters sculptors outcasts of society skateboard artists graffitti artists socialists stencilists postalists pencilists writers teachers dorks preachers serious artists extremely UNserious artists hippies! and YOU (even if you were not mentioned on the list) especially peaceful, honest, people

Music:

good beats and sprinting of imagination. lyrics are great, but most important is the beat. Jupiter Hollow, The Orkestra, ya gotta see The Conjugal Visitors in Eugene, they are rhythm, also the music of a person playing a drum not to impress people or for their first time (hand drums)and anything Senegalese or West-African and lots else. keep your self alive by Queen

Movies:
