about me
Crimefighting superhero against global injustices in training.
Also, I love me some capoeira and yoga, I live for the smell of the ocean, I think that music's pleasures can also be tasted, seen, and touched, I adore my friends, Caffeine = instant optimism, My earliest memories from childhood are red curtains, and being terrified of my foot prints in the snow, I'm always feeling destroyed by a romantic crush, My turntables are my children, It bothers me that there are lands on this earth my feet may never touch, People close to me say I'm masochistic, Patterns (mold, coral..) freak me out, I'm always missing someone, I'm a happy captive of an overactive imagination, Cocktails, meze, plane tickets, and kids make me smile, Drum playing is extremely therapeutic. And oh yeah, I really like gum.

Soundless particles resound in a 'crack!' when they tumble from chaos to order, They collide as they race each other for the bottom of the cone, Little competitive beans falling from a baristas hands as she pours with a combination of care and whim, Before the chemical could reach me the sound of these cocoa colored stimulants already woke me from a daylight reverie of her lips.
I stopped in the street and reached into my bag for a bottle of water. I opened the top and poured the water over my hands to rinse them. I noticed the excess water dance in and out of the cracks in the sidewalk and toward the sewer. I was instantly reminded of the significant portions of this tiny globe in which individuals don’t have access to clean drinking water. There, infants and young children die for lack of this staple on which our fragile existences depend.

Genesis 32: 24-25 tells of Jacob wrestling with an angel from night to daybreak. I have always interpreted the account as a struggle with an undeniable truth. Just shy of dawn I woke up restless with a pervasive sense of foreboding. In the bedroom of my eleventh floor apartment I heard cursing and screaming in the street. As sounds rose like heat from the concrete to my ears I lost the ability ... read more
Longing can be agonizing like a deep and persistent thirst. It occupies the mind, every thought.

In the presence of a desired lover the urge to caress is all encompassing. One reaches out for someone who is not there, for they are only present in memory. Or one restrains oneself from touching someone who breathes before them. In severe thirst one licks the lips and with the tongue, vainly searching the inside of the mouth for a solitary drop of fluid. For countless days and nights I hav... read more
I marched home from yoga feeling sensations of empowerment, my headphones blaring, and determination. Most nights I have to walk around city hall to get home because the pathway is closed at night. That extra five minutes or so added to my journey to circumvent the building is frustrating to the weary, hungry body. Each time I approach it I gaze at that all too familiar clock tower in the distance, and say aloud, ‘f--- city hall!’
