I read more non-fiction than anything else. I hate and love sports. It is addiction I can't kick. To me, creation is freeing. It is the complete expression of our humanity. Show me your art: writing, painting, dancing, acting, comedy, cooking, niceness...all of these make me feel the world is a great place that I want to know more and more about. I truly believe that my purpose in my day to day is to help those that everyone else has forgotten or left behind. Although, it may not be where I planned to go, I ended up in Brooklyn. Fell into work in schools. With that, I have been an educator for the last 6 years in Brooklyn. I call Chicago home. My family is out there. My newly sprout nephew lives in the Bay Area, so, I am very excited to make my way there to cause some mischief with him as he goes through the mischief years. I said I am learning French. That could be misleading. I can name about 4 colors and how to say egg in French. Well, I can spell it at least. L'oeuf is really giving my speech some difficulties.
