Although I am not going to sit here and give you a didactic oratory about myself, I will let you in on a couple things that I think is essential...
First and foremost, my passion is for artistic expression, either cultural, visual, written, spoken or music. I think when people can express themselves artistically there is a certain je ne sais quoi about the individual.
In this world where a percentage of people tend to lean towards the status quo, expression becomes muted because of the lack thereof.
For myself I tend to gravitate towards the iconoclastic individuals who choose to challenge the excepted norms.
There is beauty in everything around us, we just need to remove the veil from our eyes and the cotton from our ears.
I am NOT a religious person I am DEEPLY spiritual. However, I do not admonish those who are religious, I strongly believe that there is a distinction between the two. I enjoy the opportunity to network with everyone; it can be very disappointing to me when others are not allowed the freedom to believe in what they choose. Although I am open to discussion about certain topics, it is more appreciated when the discussion is not polarized for one's own personal beliefs.
In summation..."Don't tread on me..." Cause I just want be...
Love really is life...We should do it more...

BOOKS
The Hermetica - If you don't know you better ask somebody! I would leave an anthology of books but the bottom line is this...there isn't enough space for them!
I generally like to take people on musical journeys because with music you can tell a story or you can convey your thoughts through sound. My music collection is VAST...In my player you will generally hear music of relevance to what I am thinking or feeling. The message is always about LOVE which oftentimes in our society translates to HATE but must always return to its original design...LOVE... The paradigm (if you can dig it is Love : Hate = Love)...I invite you to vibe with me...
