About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go with the flow, then go against it, then go with it, than against it...then dance a little.

ABOUT ME

I really believe everything happens for a reason, the experiences I've had are all just too uncanny to think otherwise. I love my family, friends and pets - I think the key to happiness is having those three things.

I'm not religious, but spiritual and somewhat of a Buddhist - but I'm very tolerant and open minded and I should like to add - no one should ever be afraid to tell me something about them, its our quirks that make us special and interesting.

I have two older brothers, one is gay - the only thing that means to me is that I will have THREE older brothers now instead of legally getting two older sisters...ahaha

I'm travelling right now through out Europe as a way to spiritually cleanse myself from the drudgery of daily life, to get a better idea of how I WANT to live MY life, what is important to me, get away from materialistic people and get a better sense of how the rest of the world lives.

PHILOSOPHY

You can never err on the side of generosity.

I need more philosophies - You can help me here!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: old school punk, street punk, indie rock, electronica, reggae and Christmas music...

Books: anything by Dostoevsky, Margret Atwood, charles dickens, jane austen...also liked The Thought Gang, Catch 22, and Im sorry but I love the harry potter series..but Twilight can go burn itself because its literary rubbish..and Angels and Demons is not that great as well...

Movies? Oh my god. My favorite and most stressful question...lemme give you a taste: Anything by Orson Welles, Hitchcock, or with Cary Grant, Philip Seymour Hoffman, streetcar name desire, ShoeShine, Umberto D, God Father 1 and 2, Rushmore, Love Katherine Hepburn, The Conformist, Christan Bale is pretty bad ass, Last Tango in Paris, La strada, Love Charlie Chapman and Buster Keaton, The consequences of Love, Heavy Weights, This is Spinal Tap, Half Baked, Bolt and Harry Potter series... There are so many good movies - but my all time favorite movie is The Sound of Music.

Really I feel I can never do justice here so really great films like American Psycho, Trainspotting or American history X were left out - you get my drift?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing thing seen? - Raising my wonderful dog and watching him become his own little person with his own little personality traits and characteristics...I never get bored of playing, hanging out, observing the little guy - his name is Cavalier btw, and he is my favorite!

Most amazing thing done? - Traveling europe alone, I am the first one in my little social network who has the balls to do it, and do it right! going 2 months now! Its been the best experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of travel stories.
I'd like to learn more about other cultures and languages as well
I can teach how to cook carrots really well, I take pride in my carrot cooking abilities...
