CURRENT MISSION

I would like to know myself fully, see others clearly, never miss the beauty in even the most trivial of things, love, inspire and be inspired, taste with every fiber of my being, live like the locals, not follow a straight path however tempting it may be

ABOUT ME

"To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else."

-Emily Dickinson

I am a doer and dreamer of many things which can sometimes be a hinderance but other times the most exciting part of my life...Uselessly creative, wonderfully bi-polar, I have trouble remembering important times or things but can always tell you what color the sky was at that moment or what the air smelled like, I give up when I get frustrated but persevere when I need to, I can put my legs behind my neck, I paint some mean portraits and will accept commisions if the price is right, I love my mamma, puppies too ( but the novelty wears off quick), I have a penchant for smoking...although I quit quite frequently..but if it wasn't bad for you..I'd be one hell of a smoker, I can be very shy or very outgoing depending on the other persons' vibrations, I like mushrooms ( magical preferable), caramel, coffee, mangosteins, and a good green spliff on a rainy day, I love indie movies, the weirder the better, I want to be a gypsy when I grow up, and wish my left brain weren't always fighting with my left...I want to wander for the rest of my life but the practical part of me keeps me from doing it...I'm working on breaking free from that part currently...I don't want to live in the town I grew up in anymore..it's suffocationg and stagnant and old and sad...I want to blaze trails and leave behind epic stories for my grandchildren (that is if they will ever even exist), I want to bury myself in books and never come out, I want to build a time machine, go back to the 60's and be my mom's best friend.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life with no knowlege of what may happen tommorow or the next day. I try to go where it feels right and stay away when it feels wrong. I often consult Dr. Seuss's "Oh the places you'll go" when problems are more complicated than the afforementioned philosophy above.
