About me:
Sinatra said "you only live once . . . and if you live like i do, once is all you need." that would be the short version: lucky in many - but not all - aspects. try not to step on toes. try to excel at what i do (design/write) and make a bit of positive difference for having been here. have been around the block, seen a few things - some that would make your head spin. i've seen things some have only dreamed of, and seen things i wouldn't wish on anyone. i guess that's what comes with experience and getting out and about. i travel. a lot. i do the laundry on saturday. if i'm in town. can go from mud-covered to tuxedo-clad in 15 minutes. if i had to. i don't believe in stress. i believe in fairy tales and facts. i believe half of what i see, half of what i read, and half of what i hear. i believe that digital is as good as film, that face-to-face is better than email, that we are what we eat (go ahead - call me chicken), and that one can never have too many friends. real friends. ok...enough about me.
| this cracks me up...found the 'lesbian' test on a friend's page, so i took it. [yes, she's a lesbian.]
| You scored as The Magic Earring Ken Dyke. You're tough, mysterious and extremely butch. But you love who you are and often consider it a compliment when someone thinks you're a male.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
who are you? where have you been? where are you going? are you experienced? anyone with answers to the above, would be a fine start.
art/music/design/film/literature business contacts welcomed.
