community organizer/trouble-maker

food, dancing, capoeira, music, social movements, drums, pondering life's many questions, the ocassional run, public transit (on weekends), my new old bread machine, garage sales, farmers markets, games (not the love kind), cleaning out my car

recent reads...einstein's dreams, white teeth, my traitor's heart, assata. current read: How to Read a French Fry (now i've only read 1 chapter, but I can tell it's going to be a favorite)

como agua para chocolate, to live, chongking express, almodovar

latin folk/funk/salsa, soul/jazz/funk, western classical, anything with a groove and conviction

i only watch fox news

i hate this stuff. what can i tell you?

To start off with a good impression, i was the star of my third-grade play.
things have gone downhill since then, at least in my theatrical career.

On ocassion, I embarass my friends and family by bursting into laughter--loudly--in public places. i can't help it, sometimes life makes you laugh

I had my first encounter with questioning the dominant paradigm at age 11.

I am generally a very flexible and open-minded person, but some things in life cannot be messed with. therefore, I require that the milk goes first and the cereal second.

you know, i find these things kind of hard to take seriously, so you'll just have to trust me when I say--i'm a nice person, I believe in what i do and in fighting for social justice, i work hard, i love my family, I brake for small animals and sometimes for paper bags that look like small animals, I have a sarcastic-bordering-on-mean streak but that is offset by being a really nice person and, i make for an entertaining and fun night out. or in. but you better be ready to dance either way.

good fun people
