I live in Brooklyn and my favorite thing to do is walk around and look at all the beautiful brownstones. I was born in Long Island and thought it was the greater social evil throughout my high school career. Then I grew up and got over it. I am an enthusiastic and empathetic human being. I love sunlight, live music, and dancing. I try to be a nice New Yorker because too many of them are pissed off and in a bad mood, Though I do love to complain once in a while. I have been blessed with family and friends. People have described me as happy, funny, and free spirited. I think I am all of those things and like many have a more serious and private side. I am open to hanging out with all sorts of people and get along with most. I love chilling out and watching a movie, but I also like adventures in the city.

I am missing my summer vacation right now. I'm a teacher and I LOVE to travel. This summer I was able to travel to India, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic. Professionally I work as an art teacher for a Kindergarten - 8th grade school. I really appreciate the honesty and sassiness of children. I'm pretty committed to my work as an Art Teacher, but don't talk about work all the time. I love to have work/freetime balance.

swimming, dancing the kid and play, photographing things, watching movies, meeting new people, engaging in conversation.

my shoelaces are untied. not anymore I have sneakers with velcro. Generally people notice my eyes and jewelry.

Some books I had enjoyed reading are Things Fall Apart, The Kitchen God's Wife, God of Small Things, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Catcher in the Rye, the biography of Morrissey. I am open to most music. My early loves were Bob Marley, the Smiths, and Ella Fitzgerald. I love Buena Vista Social Club, Bossa Nova, the City of God Soundtrack. I love Britpop like Blur and Pulp. New Wave like Depeche Mode, the Cure, Pet Boys, Erasure. I love the Roots and Common. I enjoy my Johnny Cash/Bob Dylan duet CD, Fela Kuti, Norah Jones, Portishead, Tricky, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, House and Booty, classical and Bollywood, Reggae, Reggae, Reggae, Desmond Dekker, The Clash, Iggy Pop, Rhythm is a Dancer, It's Your Choice Companion. I'm open. I love hearing something new. As far as food goes. My mom is the greatest cook. She's teaching me how to cook now. I love Asian (all cuisine), Middle Eastern, Mexican. I also love good, fresh food. And a Jamaican Patty. The movie I just saw was Sunshine. My brother forced me to watch the Rocky Series, Indian Jones series, Bruce Lee's movies, Jean Claude Vandam. So I now have an appreciation for action and martial arts movies. Movies that I picked myself that I love are Chungking Express, Amelie, any John Hughs movie.

who people are on the subway. I want to know what they did that day and what's buzzing in their brains. I think about my songs that get stuck in my head. I think about my parents, ideas for art projects, my friends, what I'm going to eat.

on the go. I like to see friends at a party or a bar. I like to dance. I also love lo key time. I love the movies and chilling with friends at home.

I spat off the Empire State Building.

you are looking to laugh and talk. You like to rollerskate, look at art, find comedy in everyday living, have empathy for human kind, are sensitive to people's needs. You don't take things too seriously, but are a serious person. You can handle someone who can be silly, but also lowkey. You can appreciate independence, relaxation, and travel.
