Hi There Folks,

Hope you are all well, inside and out. And even if you are not, that you suddenly find it within you, to be. Even if one is sickest of mind and/or body, if one is awful or in an awful pickle, I hope you are in it with RELISH. There is nothing like the sting of making fresh lemonade after working in the garden or the warehouse or wherever ones hands may get chaffed, cut, caught,etc., to let one know that one is here. With every bounced check there is a growing zen, that these things happen. They change when circumstances do. And though money has it's use and merit, so does everyone and everything. So relax, one can even go beyond it. Money needs an owner to tell it what to do, and though we can be like this also, we chose to what degree we wish to serve. A very wise friend told me to never forget to have fun. This advise has helped me in the face of many monsters and personal fouls. This same friend also ( and in the most tactful way) made me realize the extent to which my additude sucked. Now, don't get me wrong, there are times when it still does suck, however, when one realizes the magnitude to which their own and everyone elses additude sucks there comes an empathy, a compassion, and yes a willingness to try to keep a good additude, because really THINGS COULD BE MUCH WORSE! And that a crappy additude does no good for anyone...EVER. Another wise friend (An 82 year old opera singer from Prague) wrote a book, the title of is...NO COMPLAINING...EVER! She is really cool. Man If I can keep it going that long..woooweee! I've been working legally since I was thirteen (they start us young in Jersey) Actually my first job was at 7. I fell in love with a vintage furniture store and hounded the woman who owned it for months to dust it. So, when summer came, I got my $5.oo a week for dusting and vacuuming. (Little did I know then that this would be a reacurring theme in my life). I've picked up pine cones, Mucked stalls, framed art work, worked at the cinema (consessions, ticket taking, ushering, though never sales) modeled for my art classes (painting and drawing for 17 years, it is now starting to pay), worked at the studio for my dance lessons (my passion for 24 years, I miss it terribly, and look forward to doing it again real soon). Am still somewhat of a hairdresser, though not as proffessionally as I was for eleven years, been a makeup artist, voice over, busser, waitress, house cleaner, personall chef, prep cook, yoga teacher, part time receptionist. And hey, IT"S ALL ROCK AND ROLL TO ME. Though life can give me the shaft at times, I like to Fuck. I just hope I fuck it as good as it fucks me. And yes, like everyone else in this world I am and have always been a WHORE. So sue me.

Currently, I reside in the Bay Area and sing for the band called The Lovers. Yes, believe it or not at the time when the band formed no one had that name, we were the first. We have the lavender major arcana card on My space. Technology is new to me, so, itll be exciting to make some stuff for the podshow. Thank goodness for my techish friends. also, I am now a sound engineer. I love the thought of commitment to vibrations on every level. How do you think all these Rock and rollers look so good, in spite of all they have done and do? Music, Art, Science, and Math, is fun. Sometimes life is hard, but it too is fun. I like meeting all sorts of folks, by this I mean beings, of all kinds. So, please Say hello, if you like.
