ABOUT ME

I ride a bike around the citites i live in, the most important thing in my life is art: i paint, dance, play guitar, journal, generally exercise my compulsion to express myself in all possible ways...im a political junkie, have worked as a teacher and a cook. i live sensually and love taste texture, smell sound, etc.i also tell politically incorrect jokes and love whiskey.
