CURRENT MISSION

to absorb, make more art and make new friends

ABOUT ME

Open minded and entering a generally introspective phase of life, figuring out what my current calling is and trying to support myself. Kind of a sissy, kinda butch. Love many things, adventure near the top of the list!

Moved to Portland Oregon, hoping to find out why soon. (Besides again needing an escape from bedlam Philadelphia and its suburbs.) Hoping to overcome shyness, make some friends and not entirely forget that I'm still in my early 20s, whatever that means.

PHILOSOPHY

Human beings oughta: value learning for learning's sake, eat well, take care of each other, get in touch with nature and value the planet. (Granola crunches distantly...) Feeling sort of hopeless about the environmental crisis anymore but I'd like to find the inspiration to continue as a do-gooder in the USA. Or just have the most fun possible. Let's talk about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

living in the desert and all it encompassed

Teach, Learn, Share

I could tellyouteachyou: to drive stick, get across town, dance moves, how acupuncture rocks my world, trivial factoids

I always want to learn: how to be more hands-on, local treasures, health tips and philosophies, and anything else you wanna throw at me. Would probably love to trade meals.
