About me:
I'm directly plugged in to the pulse of existence.
I believe enlightenment isn't a one-time event, but an every-moment choice. I've learned many lessons the hard way, but see no real alternative method of learning. I have an intense love affair with language; at the same time I know the limited ability of words to truly express every person's basic need for connection.
I believe in the natural law of Karma, and at the moment mine seems to be balancing out.
I prefer being awake to being asleep even though I can sleep with the best of them. I dream with my eyes open. I create to stay alive. I listen, I read, I soak up the world because I'm thirsty for awareness.
I'm no stranger to pain but I'm a survivor, not a victim.

I create my reality, however warped it may seem. I've been called an instigator by those that know me well. I don't create drama, I just stir things up for pure entertainment value.
I surround myself with people who aren't afraid to be who they are, whoever/whatever that may be. My friends come from all walks of life. I'm full of strange humor. I'm best one on one. I have a soft voice which some might mistake for shyness or innocence. I'm neither shy nor innocent. I'm often comfortable being alone.
I experiment with my life. I love, I laugh, I piss people off then make them smile bigger than they knew they could.
..
Who I'd like to meet: Old friends from previous lives. New friends with something original to say. People who want to show me where they come from. People who want to take me somewhere new. I will probably not add you as a friend if I've never heard from you before, as in, if we've never met in "real" life or if you haven't at least taken some time to send me a message first. I do have standards, and like to have friends that score high on the chill-o-meter. I'm not here to increase my popularity or see how large my circle can get. yadig?

I'm a resident of the road;
Not a wandering lost soul,
Instead--a seeker of the unfamiliar;
Not a runaway,
Simply, a postmodern pioneer.

CONGRATS!! And Happy Birthday. I tried calling you today but your phone was working! I need to know the babies full name and what colors ya'll are using in the nusery.
not even sure if i can get in touch with you on here. you have my number... i've tried to call you a few times over the last month or more since you left for austin and no response. hope you're doing ok with imminent baby exodus. peace you two
$20-$25 for the room, we will get tickets Saturday when we get there, those are $10. They have been running a lot of deals lately for four packs of $25 seats for $40 and 2 pizzas, must not be getting people in the seats, hopefully we get lucky and score that deal. I talked to Andy on Sunday, so either way. I'm pumped for the game too! This is always a fun trip, Grizzlies have some good young talent too.
We are booking the hotel rooms for the Buck's trip March 14th. I told everyone if they weren't there to pay for the booking they weren't going(no flip floppers this time), Andy said he would cover you, so you don't have to worry about being here. Get in touch with Andy, let him know you're still in or get back to me.
ok well thank goodness you're not totally blowing me off! how long r u going to be in austin? I would love to make it to austin but I am booked solid babysitting. but u still need to answer my question I messaged u about pronto!
