I Enjoy so many things, especially if they relate to people, life, music, spirit, creation.

I love PLAYING live percussion, irish whistles, sax, piano... a dabbling of guitar... singing

I love LIVING new life experiences, spirit play, passion -- living with passion, people. Laughing! Surprises (the good kind). I'm often quiet, introspective, absorbing, unless I am "on" or inspired to move.. and then I TAKE OFF.

I love CREATING & DISCOVERING NEW THINGS punny brain food, deep contemplation (pondering) and idea formation -- and discovering new answers to my favorite question: "where does your spirit live?"

I love STIMULATING THE SENSES -- honey and things cooked with it... mmm.. Baklava, ethnic foods ... mm.. indian, thai (note: the *best* thai in Buffalo IMO is at King & I), *hand-cut french fries*, silk pies, crepes, napoleans. Sweet Jenny's Ice Cream. Simple dishes packed with flavor -- Potato Coconut Stew.

If it's outside the box, I probably like it. Some people might find me a bit wacky.. I like to keep things fresh and just have fun... fun with myself, fun with people. Shave the beard... keep the beard.. shave part... shave only one half! People are awesome. People are holy. We each have the spark to do amazing things... but we're usually too afraid to really exploit our powers.

Eat the desert before the meal.
Go running in the rain.
Don't walk, run.
And don't sleep until you're tired.
Sing and dance out loud, and if you must, keep singing silently inside. But never stop the music.

And I love beauty in nature. A WARM fire. CUDDLING with my love (I miss this). I'm a SNUGGLER, HUGGER. I can stand firm on things that matter to me and speak out where wrongdoing is occuring. I am SENSITIVE and COMPASSIONATE, an empathic mirror, a good ear. A calming stream. Water -- water invigorates and refreshes and calms all the same. Energizing sun, blue skies. Deep and diverse green in trees. Occassionally, a day of nothing.. to veg, chill, recharge... a beach. A field. A cool breeze and a hamock.

I've loved the MARTIAL ARTS / TAE KWON DO -- I am a 3RD DEGREE black belt, and just when I think I get it, I realize there's so much more to learn. The balance of life needs to be experienced sometimes and not rationalized... SOMETIMES IT'S BEST TO JUST STOP THINKING, and to live with your FEELING, your INTUITION, your NATURE. I SKI.. locally, once in Aspen, once in Stowe. Aspen rocked -- the quietude and peacefulness of a life through the snow-capped trees, quiet wind swaying their bark.. crack.. creek... ah.. BEAUTY!

Professionally, I do artistic multi-cam VIDEOGRAPHY of life and live events, biographical life journaling, documentaries and work with technology to incorporate art, music and life-- capturing and creating beauty -- playing. In my previous career I was SOFTWARE DESIGNER AND DEVELOPER by education and trade, and 16 years later a INDUSTRY TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANT... computers can be fun (when they work). Some folks think I'm really realy smart. Some folks think I just want to seem that way. Me? I just like to be around smart people that can expand before they contract and promote the best outcomes without letting their ego get in the way. I also thrive being around CREATIVE people who can see with their eyes shut, and hear the silence more than the words.
