living the dream

ABOUT ME

I was raised in a tiny cow town in California, and now I live 3,000 miles away in Astoria, NY just outside of manhattan . I am a free spirit and artist. I move around the country often for work and pleasure. I love writing poetry, taking pictures, meeting new people, exploring, going dancing, performing and hanging out with my friends (old and new). I make a mean Thai tofu. I like to hug just about anyone. I will dance 'til sun comes up if given the choice. I love live music of all kinds. I am thirsty for knowledge. I am a huge art fan and aspiring collector to be. If you make me laugh, I'll be a friend for life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dancing at a beer garden to a live polka band barefoot in a rain storm is one of my favorites, I'd have to say. This dancing eventually turned into a 50 person conga line.
