About Me:
I'm living in Europe to do a Master's Degree and a half-time job in the Netherlands studying Music Cognition at the NICI institute, which is part of the Radboud University of Nijmegen. Nijmegen is on the border with Germany about 160km southeast of Amsterdam. I had been in Massachusetts for a year working with my parents restoring a historical estate and running a small business there. Previous to that I was in the San Francisco bay area studying at Berkeley and working afterwards for a hearing research program at the Veteran's Affairs Dept. I've been into DJing and dance music for a long time, and still make dance tracks which I hope to put out someday.
Aside from spending a lot of time with computers and equipment, I really like going out to music shows and good bars, travelling to new places, and doing physical activities, like hiking, tennis, hackey sack with eric g and the boys, futbol (soccer), and pretty much anything when I have someone to do it with. Although I've been known to "smoke up," don't let that fool you... I didn't move to the Netherlands just to get legally stoned on good weed whenever I want, because I didn't... really.
Today I got my work permit for the next two years, so its official, I'm here to stay!

Who I Want to Meet:
It would be awesome to meet some people over here in the Netherlands... Also, anyone headed this way should give me a shout, as company is always welcome, and the luxurious couch is generally availble!

are sorely missed
by one itinerant dancer
the bong rips taken
over years
may one day give us cancer
the questions floating
in the air
approach their smiling answer.
PEACE!!!!
be fun.
he shows up on the playa two minutes
before my wedding only to rock it by
going out and taking swigs of shroom
tea. anytime spent with you is special
but never enough. you are sofa
kingdom you bastard and i already
miss you.
for making shit happen like no one I
know. my oldest bay area bud, Al's a
guy you always know you can count on
through thick and thin. My personal
technonology maven, he can break shit
down for even a gal like me to get.
Even though we've known each other for
little more than 7 years, we have a
connection that just ain't rivaled.
From Taco Loco OC-style on a random
Monday night to the east coast
extravangza that lay ahead, I love our
totally planned yet totally spontaneous
adventures. Dude, your desire to push
the limit and still remain grounded are
demanding of admiration. Keep pushing
on...you know it will always comes
together.
intelligence, social skills, and the
ability to pick up anything he wants to
learn very very quickly will surley win
over anyone. He will argue about
anything, even if he is wrong, and will
win. He will even try to convince your
wife to take her and your newborn son
to burning man. Beyond his constant
liberal point of view is a sweet
generous guy who will show up at your
wedding the same day as his sisters
graduation with Chris, his "date" in a
crushed red velour suit. Come on man,
we all know something is up between you
and Chris, with all that ass talk.
Friends for what? 13 years now. Man,
thats a long time. Can't wait to visit
you in Ireland.
lives a little more interesting. for
instance, my life has been more
interesting ever since that time I saw
travis sprinkling glitter on his ass in
the shower. of all my ass memories,
alex's is the shiniest. we played in
grunge bands together long before he
discovered electronic music. He made
me watch Star Wars for the first time,
2nd, and 3rd times. He's such a sweet
guy that I cannot help jumping on his
bed and playfully humping him on
occasion. I think he understands...
alex.
can you ask of from a man? if he had some
coveralls...well then, but hey! alex looks
great in a mini-skirt, especially if it's
elizabeth's and is made of fine-ass
cambodia silk.
continents, stops into NYC for a quick party or two,
gets me to break my new recluse resolution (with
zero prompting mind you - it is Alex, right?...) and
before I know it I walking into the club where we
are greated by one of his girls who fights through
the invincible wall at the bar to buy us our drinks.
That's what I'm talking about. Before I know it Alex
is off to yet another party to meet yet another girl,
whilst I stay to get my jiggy on and fill my cell with
four new beautifully smoking numbers. Hells yeah.
Good karma.
