I've recently taken over a small neighborhood gym. Not because I am a fitness guru, far from it. I am overweight and have arthritic knees. But because it's a life-giving force for myself and several other folks. I needed the gym and the gym needed me. Most of my time is devoted toward or decompressing from... it's operations!

Other than that I've been an artist all my life. Choreography, Performance Art, Punk bands, Art school... You know the type!

Getting everyone else at the party to dance.

My glasses?

Bukowski, Middle Eastern, Kubrick, Ethiopian, Coen brothers, Will Ferrell, Sushi, Fela, Indian, Tarantino, Kraftwerk, Green Smoothies, John Waters, Brazil nuts, Gogol, Pizza, Philip k. Dick, Chomsky, Edward Said, Lee Scratch Perry, Grapefruits and Avocados!

1. knee Pillow
2. hug pillow
3. headphones like you use for shooting range, only I use them in the event of... oh no all my list is being taken up by sleep-related props!
4. Shower
5. I'm being really literal about this... Pen and Notebooks
6. Did I mention various pillows?

Going to bed early!

I cannot sleep with another human being in the same bed. Period.

That includes significant others, unfortunately.

You loved Edward Said... Or you look like him! Men of Middle Eastern or Asian ethnicity NEED apply. Momma-mia!

You have a bit of a nurturing streak... and could build someone up in your sleep!

You write long letters, emails and texts. You love to express yourself in words and dig the same.

You are local, and dig my need for lots of sleep & privacy visa-vis my business. Better yet you have absolutely ZERO interest in or advice about how to run a fitness business. Ooh! That's hot!

You are outdoorsy and want an indoorsy friend. You are indoorsy and want an indoorsy friend.
