now, what shd we talk abt?

who i am....

not much to tell, really....so far, it's been an interesting life, but it's nowhere close to being over....
(not wishing to tempt fate...)
my roots are in northern mexico and in west(by god)virginia
(a state - 'almost heaven'),
altho' the most significant portion of my life has been spent in texas....
austin, texas was my home for thirteen years...a long, long time...
but through the kindness of the fates, i moved to california in september 1997,
full of hopes and dreams....
the beautiful san francisco east bay is now my home
and i'm blazing my own torrid trail....

that's me on the left, w/ my dear friend, julianne from portland...danger!

not really willing to share much more abt my personal life --
what is worth knowing abt me may be found
within these pages...

special interests....

the written and the articulated word.
the image.
literature. philosophy. music.
