Yoga. Studied yoga with Godfrey Devereux (as an apprentice), that's him below. About to study with Donna Farhi.

They call me the haki-sack queen (aka SPINderella).
Love socialising and meeting people. Friends. Intelligent, informed conversation. Outrageous ridiculousness. Dressing up.
Playing cards, particularly 500 and euka, or Texas Hold'em with my Granddad (I've written a song about him, it's called Speak to me Bones, all about gambling).
Learning. I love learning. Everything and anything; from anatomy to string theory to yoga and loads in between.
Mokos (full facial tattoos), they are gorgeous, and intimidating.
Soto Zen bhuddism, is, I believe, my religion, but perhaps it's the yoga sutras of Patanjali (see below).
Paraphyschology, metaphysics. Quantum physics. and stuff like that...
Anything that evolves us as humans... that uses our neo cortex, not the reptitilian responsive brain... I don't understand the word BORED and I don't understand the booboisies (look it up) who live like they are dead. I don't try to mind you. Not of any interest what-so-ever.
Try to live by the motto: No Blame. No Guilt. A la, the yoga sutras of Patanjali as interpretted by Godfri Devereux (godfridev.com), as interpretted by me. Godfri taught me about the illusory nature of volition, something clarified by Genpo Merzel Roshi (www.bigmind.org). Both amazing people. I have experienced the non-dual mind, (I say 'I' to make what I'm saying read, but it's not I, it's when the I is dropped).

Whimsical. Sometimes contrary. Life is a game, and I play hard. I enjoy life and experiencing it. I like things like; yoga, rock n roll, zen, the great outdoors, campfires, stars, clean clear water, the sea, the magic of my homeland – Aotearoa, music, skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, singing (my band Dirty Liars), art, travelling, camping in the wilderness, going running in the woods, festivals where we dress up and get down (VIP only), good scotch, writing (poetry, lyrics, stories, stuff). Downhill Mountain Biking is my newest hobby.
I love doing loadsa positive stuff and learning... I have an insatiable desire to try everything. I don't know that I enjoy sitting still very much! But I do sometimes do it... Also enjoy art, design, designing, ideas and especially PEOPLE.
Who I'd like to meet: I WANTED ONE LIFE. YOU WANTED ANOTHER. WE COULDN'T HAVE OUR CAKE, SO WE ATE EACH OTHER. Leonard Cohen.
Anyone that induces me to smile or laugh. Laughter is so important.

Lovely people who are honest and open and willing to LOVE.

Hey Rach! listen to your stuff. Pretty cool! It will probably be steve DJ'ing as there is no real band at the moment :/ Hope everything else is cool with you?
I seen 3 stock looking HR's at the Rod meet tonight, some more earlier models too. There was like a dozen Monaro's there, so I left cause I got depressed about selling mine for a plane ticket when you couldn't give them away. I seen one like mine sell for $40,000 the other day.
