Misha Barson

I am 51, work in healthcare, have 16 years of college, terminal lung cancer, a job that barely pays the rent, 6,000 miles from home, hobbies are skateboarding, landpaddling, ex Maui mountain biking rider sponsored- ex surfer ex model from the John Robert Powers Agency, and someone who enjoys Law and Order, Rutger Hauer Movies, Match Box 20, Fleetwood Mac, GoogooDolls and The Off Spring. Also has been a former singer/guitarist for folk goth group The Prophecy and a crusader for Green Living. My first award for environmentalism was presented to me from R ichard Nixon. Other awards were from taking care of the terminally ill, a first place three times in karoke contests for "Best Stevie Nicks" and in High school for athletics and National Honors Society-first Honors, also graduated a couple years early. Motivation? Hated high school. I was the nerdy runt who read every book in 5 libraries and had a perfect GPA. I have no social skills. I like living alone. I have piles of projects and skateboards
