Profile Information
- About Me:
• Vocalist • Model • Writer • Activist •
• Muse •
• Performer • Promoter •
(and occasional raw chef)
Quite active in various elements of NYC (fashion, food, fetish, fantasia) perhaps even infamous... ;)
Learning as much as possible within each passing moment is an unending goal for me. Expansion of mind, horizons and personal experience is paramount.
Oft referred to as "Edgy, analytical, sometimes overly political" and so I possess my own personal tagline.
Oh, I'm also vegan. :)
Note: Please do not send friend requests without writing to me first unless we've met/communicated elsewhere in the past. I must know everyone on my friends list, I'm not a "friend collector" and will only acknowledge those who speak to me first.
Thank you for understanding!
- How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
By simply existing and remaining positive.
I would also appreciate it if everyone who visits my page would take a moment to read the following:
Mission Statement:
To increase awareness through positivity in action.
∞
The sole purpose for putting myself in public view is quite different from the reasons I find given by others I meet in everyday life. It has always seemed that I've been considered to be the "odd one" in most situations regarding public exposure, and even when I ventured into alternative work after severing my involvement with corporate spokesmodelling, I have often been referred to as "The Lorax" ... Although I have never gone the actual pageant or beauty contest route (have entered and won talent contests, but these were based upon stage performance and musical ability), I've been singing and dancing on stage as well modelling in one form or another from childhood up to now for reasons which very apparently differ from "the norm."
My involvement in the entertainment industry has never been about getting attention for attention's sake (or even financial gain--throughout the course of my career I have skipped many meals due to an occasional recurrence of "starving artist" syndrome!), but basically to show people that an animal friendly vegan lifestyle promotes an amazing sense of vitality brought on by the Universal peace and harmony which comes from consciousness and shows through in a very bold way--even on stage/screen/celluloid.
It is also for these reasons that I ended up separating myself from corporate work of most types and have made a point of being as active as possible in my attempt to publicly increase animal, environmental, social as well as spiritual and individual awareness throughout the years.
Thank you for having taken the time to read this.

My goal isn't to convert everyone to raw veganism, it is simply to share my knowledge related to the food I personally use so that others may improve upon their already existent lifestyles with new information, experience and techniques. I wish to...

Partial Video Collection - Featuring Yours Truly
(My role in this: vocalist)
Some of the images are extremely graphic and quite painful to view, as I meant for this to be more of a social commentary than a dramatic effort.
Animal torture is depicted in a few frames, along with a very creepy shot of Benedict XVI...

Aligning With My Higher Purpose: Update & Statement of Current Intent
Many of my old vegan friends are now no longer vegan or vegetarian.
I've been finding myself wondering why, more than ever.
For awhile I actually stopped referring to myself as vegan, simply because most of the vegans I was meeting were really unhealthy junk food addicts and I had adapted to an entirely raw, organic diet (which is a totally different thing, in many ways). However, I've been meeting a lot of stupid raw foodists as of late who have made me realise that my di… Continue

Updates Abound! (along with other random bits and bobs)
Greetings to all once again, and apologies for having disappeared from activity on GI2MR for quite so long without a word. Life has been busy, sometimes chaotic and confusing, but at times the need for austerity arises as a means to create something better for others and for oneself down the line...
Anyway, the purpose of this post is to update all of those who may be interested in what the future holds.
I've made similar posts in various other places and have

Friendship Is Forever & True Love Never Dies
I'm posting these for everyone here, including myself.
Many of you have probably seen the first one a million times, but I'm posting it anyway because it deserves to be posted along with the others.
Those of you who have experienced true, unconditional love may actually cry when you see these videos. I cried for nearly a full hour after watching them and wouldn't let go of my very confused cat...

Is it really vegan? Who can you trust? How and why I became a raw foodist.
I posted this in a forum I run on another site, as well as my blog on a vegan site. Since this relates so closely to the content on this site, I feel that it surely belongs here as well. :)

- I just watched your video- That was pretty sad but truthfull. I couldn't even tell what kind of animal that was with blood all over it. Do you know what the end was all about where the monk-like people are carrying dead bodies?

Creig I am said… - thats so cool, petting your basil :)
i agree we nee to look to these animal and plant species as the living creatures they are!
i know we are classified as this species but it really doesnt frame who we are
so...
i think about the word animal and the context people use it, and wonder if we could maybe think of a different term....
something more to ponder
hope your days going well
injoy

Yes, for raw vegans.... it can be challenging in Japan, but certainly not impossible and it is getting easier and easier all the time. There are more and more raw and organic resources here. If you have passion for Japan, then by all means come on over. You can play a big part in the growing movement towards raw, organic veganism..!!
Where do you live and practice Ashtanga? Do you have a teacher you work with reguarly...?
Hari OM!

Nick said… - Hey I am planning on starting a non-commercial web site for pregnant and new mothers which will hopefully encourage them to eat healthier and raise their children in a more humane and healthier way. You had mentioned to me awhile ago about writing children books in the near future. There are not that many children based books that encourage a humane and healthy lifestyle. If you have the time and desire to contribute to the site in any way you like maybe just a poem or short story it may be a new beginning:) No timeline whenever you like. Take care Nick

- Hey it nice to hear from you;I am still in NY I have been engulfed in Wild food and herbs and preparing different types of raw plants,berries, seeds,nuts and fruits and combination's.

How so?

I believe that the body can heal itself if given the support. I'm a nurse in a nursing home and I've seen the body cling to life no matter how much poison is thrown at it.
Sounds ridiculous to me. Anyone actually older and experiencing longevity there? I doubt it. I live out in the country in the general direction of God's fart zone and perhaps that's better than getting caught up in this sort of materialistic stuff...
