ok, so....I've never done this online dating thing before (i know this is lame as hell to hear but it's my truth right now) which leaves me completely challenged in a new way, which I think could be very good. I grew up in the mountains and the need for that kind of fresh air will be with me always, and I like that. Adventures in and out of this city motivate me, being active and good to my body are a daily necessity and that includes napping on the couch or eating a Tartine croissant just as much as rising at 8:30 am on a Saturday for yoga. Art of all kinds completely interests me; gallery openings and live music are regulars in my life as well as hanging at the skate park to witness what I hope to be gifted with in my next life. I'm into investigating who I am and how I am; this seems to be endlessly fascinating, frustrating, and beautiful.

right now (and for the last 10 years) i spend a good amount of time teaching people about alignment in their bodies...particularly in movement. i take a look at where someone is strong, tight, weak, overstretched etc. and we together build new muscular memory around pathways that serve the body to make it stronger, more flexible, more efficient, and in general just more happy. this is how i make my money and i also happen to really dig it.
i'm also usually concocting a travel plan, i try to get out of the country at least once a year and i make my way to my hometown in the mountains where my parents live 3-4 times a year.
in the middle of all that i just have a good time mostly...i'm trying to make a new recipe each week, i make random bits of art, i'm getting rolfed, i love to salsa, i love my xtracycle (and p.s. this is NOT an exercise bike), i try to remember that i can't drink tequilla too fast, and i do my best to be part of the solution...i run my car on biodiesel, i eat organic (mostly), i only buy wild fish, and animals from happy farms. and damn would i love to have my very own urban garden....oh future.

let me ask a few people and i'll get back to you.

i love all of these things endlessly, so this is really just what comes to mind right now.
