About me:
For the past 6 years, I've lived in LA (after 4 years at UCLA), but I grew up in the asshole of America - a slice of suburban hell known as Katy, Texas. 2007 is the beginning of a new era in my life. I'm done working with the California Clean Money Campaign (a nonpartisan political organization ensuring fair elections and a government accountable to the people and not big money - caclean.org). I'm leaving a fantastic ocean view apartment on Venice Beach. And I'm giving it all up to dart down to Latin America for a year of service, learning, and discovery. Of course, for those who've been paying attention, travel is nothing new for me. Along with salsa, it's an addiction. It all started when I participated in Semester at Sea during my senior year at UCLA visiting Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Tanzania, South Africa, Brasil and kickin' it with Fidel in Cuba. In 2004, I returned to Africa to work with refugees in Zambia to establish a community library. In 2005, I backpacked around Central America, and my 2006 foreign adventure was a FREE trip around Israel and Palestine. Unfortunately, I must have said or done the wrong thing, cuz everything went to hell the moment I left. On a more personal note, I'm a dork who loves to read, write, discuss politics, debate religion, and ponder the mysteries of the universe. Finally, I heart the Baton! All People Be Happy.Who I'd like to meet:
Well, ideally interesting and attractive human females between the ages of 8 and 88, but I'll settle for pretty much anybody or anything organic. Just so long as they aren't overbearingly egocentric. I mean, c'mon, there is a whole freaking universe of stuff out there to explore, who gives a crap about your freaking Chanel sunglasses.Details

Semester at sea, and africa would not have been as wonderful without you. Im so glad you came to visit me in flagstaff before your next big adventure. I feel an ache in my stomach and my heart but i know you lived like a flame burning bright and warm on everyone you encountered. Thank you for teaching me to live life to its fullest.
I don't know what else to say aside from you showed me that there are great people in the world who care about others. EJT, I miss you my brother, and will never forget you and your amazing passion and spirit.
