Life is short

Change truly is constant in my everyday life. I like taking risks. I've never backed down from an idea or a thought and I like to stir things up. When I set my mind on something I usually stick to it(80%of the time) A friend of mine once told me that progress don't come in comfort zones. I would also add that comfort zones suck, they spoil and rott the very core of a person.

I hate the idea of becoming comfortable to habit repetition and routine. Thank god thats not me.

I've racked up an ample amount of life-experience in my last 34 years. I have lived in other states and cities and gained new friends along the way. Yes. I've carved up what I would say a rather very interesting life, in that sense I'm a lot closer to my own friends than my family, and in a way my friends are my family. I've learned a lot from them (and thats counting girlfriends-more on that later) about life much more than what a four cornered classroom could ever taught me.

My girlfriends in the past have been an interesting ensemble of feminists -(high school), a jewish punk-rock skinhead, a DJ, a mom, a hippie. Each one of them unique in their own way, funny, intelligent, independent, sometimes weird, but despite of their differences, they each bore a strength that I was lacking within me, but I've benefited immensely from them and I've learned a lot about myself. Oh and yeah the sex was great.

Stacy was fiercely independent and was never shy with giving out her opinion. Elizabeth had a strong sense of sensuality about her, though can be a bit touchy feely at times.

I think Marlo had a lot more in common with Stacy in that she was just as fiercely independent if not much more. She had a great command in the turntables, she knew how to rock a party. Good times... I remember the venues she played, 111 Minna st in SF at an art gallery opening. The Sound Factory. The Attic. The Beauty Bar at the mission. The College Radio Shows she's been in. The Wave (honolulu). And Aunti Pasto the premiere italian restaurant in waikiki.

We both shared a passion for life. I've learned through her that people are key to new opportunities, her skills at networking are unmatched.

Shawnee and Melissa showed great compassion. Both had empathy for an individual's suffering Shawnee would have made a great wife, she possessed maturity and a sense of devotion. Why did I ever let her go...

A recluse life just isn't an option, you can't make friends that way. It's just not healthy. Word of advice, unless you're set on living your life that involves very little human interaction OR- you have some AVOIDANT PERSONALITY DISORDER, stay away from those people for they will only hold you back.

Got some pictures to post during my night with Tracy and Eugene on my later blogs.

Au 'revoir.
