I actually try hard to not get myself into a box; defining myself in a self-summary kind of goes against that.

The one thing I can honestly say I expect to be passionate about for the rest of my life is my values: love, trust, sharing, integrity, pleasure, lots of laughter and fun.

Squeezing the juice out of it!

Laughing, especially at myself
Deep listening
Making people feel heard, safe, and trusting
Giving advice (ONLY when I'm asked for it!)
Eye contact
Getting what I want
Cooking
Dancing on the subway

My smile, eyes, slight accent (which usually confuses them), and openness

Bonobo, Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Morcheeba, Bob Marley, The Smiths, Nirvana, Massive Attack, Cesaria Evora... I love music in all its forms.

Honesty, vulnerability, connection, laughter, music and dance

I try not to think too much, except when necessary. Most of the time, if my mind is involved without my permission, it will be thinking about myself. (Did I mention I'm committed to being fearlessly honest?)

This doesn't mean I don't think about others. But then I'm being guided more by my emotions than my mind.

Other favorite topics my mind likes to dwell on are philosophies of life, how people operate and what makes them happy.

Every day is Friday

Ask me anything... I'm an open book. I've been told it makes me mysterious, which is an interesting paradox to think about.

you like to dance your happy little heart out
you are not afraid to look silly (when you're not intoxicated)
you are in awe and gratitude of this thing called Life, and make a practice out of curiosity and adventure
you can grasp the difference between pleasure-oriented and orgasm-oriented sex
you are not threatened by vulnerability
you appreciate women in all their guises, even the ones that are (admittedly) a bit crazy
