   Mark's Blurbs
About me:
I was born in a Billy Higgins bass drum. Never wear a watch. Love the Gardens of Taxco. Used to hang out at The Money Tree on Monday nights for jazz and cocktails. Decided to major in Ethnomusicology without knowing the meaning of the word. Didn't like boba until about the tenth time I had it. I'd rather park and walk than drive around and search for a closer space to open up. My mood is generally hopeful. I believe in metaphors and I try not to get caught up in the illusion
Who I'd like to meet:
I'm down to meet anybody
