Im an extroverterted introvert!

About Me


Subscribe Free Add to my PageThis player opens, with a song, i composed late last month, the other songs on here are bits of music, i composed last month, more details, in the player itself..., i recorded everything you hear, here, on my i-pod, so its not that good.I am an extroverterted introvert. ;=)"find an outlet, plug you'reself into it"! i:e something creativeI make movies, i edit them on my computer, im a photographer, a musician an artist a writer, i do alot of things, im a bard.....;=)I love too travel! I've lived many place's i;e i have lived in England, Italy...and more...several state's within the US......i now reside in Italy and the United State's....mostly Italy, i moved there recently. Italy is not a foreign country too me its my home.Im a culture freak! I have assimilated culture's, other than the one a came from.I have a confused i-pod ;=)I am a musician, i have been one since the age of 4. I started playing classical music on the piano, Grieg, Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart too name a few. I realized, i could'int carry a piano around with me, so i wanted too play the guitar, and of course there was Led Zeppelin. I grew up listening too Italian opera, puccini ect..My maternal grandfather 'nonno', played the piano, the guitar the madolin and the accordian, he was from Sicila, my paternal grandmother's family, all were/are musicians...My family in Calabria are musicians as well. This is the extreeeeeeemleeeeeee abridged version, of a long story. ;=) I play by ear, and i read music. I compose, and transpose music, i;e something written for the piano can be transposed for the guitar...ect.I play lead and rythm guitar electric and acoustic, synthesizer, piano, church organ, bass guitar-when i tune a regular guitar like one, vocals, and drums.... I can't play the drum's anymore, but my drum's, "drumming", is so much a part of me, i work on a way too play..my left leg wont keep time with the right one ..there are prob's with my knee's and tendon's after spending over 2yr's on crutch's, at one point using only one leg, my right one...too get around its all torn up now.I am Italian, 100% southern Italian, something im very proud of.I think i have a good sense of humor, my life demands, a good sense of humor.I live with 1 kat who i luv dearly, she's an amazing incredible! wonderful companion, i also have 2 fish and a placco AKA an algae eater. I was in an almost fatal motorcycle accident. I was hit from behind by a drunk driver, in 2004. The bastard that hit me, didint read the plate, on the back of my bike, ;=) I was a martial arts instructor, and i was an incredible drummer. ...........my bike was a yamaha R6 a sport bike, blue and white...

I had an awesome life before the accident.....! I was a teacher, in the martial arts, the pain i feel, as a result, of not being a part of my school anymore, is impossible for words..i was looking forward too so many things w/my school, when my life was altered in a way, that can only be described, as someting worse, than the worst nitemare, you can imagine.. i was looking forward too alot of other things as well, i was many other things too, before the accident. i never had a migraine in my life, i have one all day long, i suffer from chronic pain and permanent injuries that plague me ever day of my life.....my hands over the last 2yrs..have been permanantly damaged from dragging/ carrying myself around on them, too do just the basic things in order to survive.......and im a musician!!!!!! There is more, too this..but i'm not going too dwell on it here.....When there is change, i'e my motorcycle accident...my life was changed. Theres an analogie for dealing with change that i like. Think about a tree................a tree has too "bend",...when the wind blows, the tree if it resists the wind, will break...a tree has too bend, the same applies, too a person.I dont use drugs, and i dont drink alcohol. Nor did i before the accident nor will i ever... thats my choice, so if you think im weird? i am not. I have a few yr's on me...I know a bit.......There is no -way that a person who's an artist/musician..ect..can achieve they're potential..as not only an artist...but as a person as well....i:e if you are drunk, can you still play the guitar? The drum's? Do you have the motivation too stick with anything? I made my choice as a young woman...not too touch anything that would harm me or interfere with. I'm aware..in my life..... Why go thru life without feeling its joys? is sorrows? all of which build the character, integrity, trustworthyness, in a person and in others, there are people that trust me implicitly! Everyone does.. Theres a reason for that.... im a real person..there are not that many of us out there.. ;=(I can be a perfecionist. Im rather critical, of everything i do. I;E i can write something on the guitar, and never be happy with it, tho when playing and recording, i can think and feel, like wow! this is going somewhere. So, i strive too improve, on what im doing, and be happy with it at the same time. When i listen too a piece of music i have written, or look at a piece of my artwork, and think, "i can do this alot better", this works for me because it makes me try harder, ERGO, my work improve's, in increments, like going up small steps, reaching for the next one,... I have a mind thats open too improve, and learn more. I firmly beilieve when a person thinks they have learned all that they can, they cannot possibly grow.... I will never have enough time 2 learn all that i want too, or improve on the things i already do........ The standards, i set for myself, are outragous, in a good way, I try 2 play my electric guitar, better than Jimmy Page, Yngwie Malmsteen, ect. this is one way, i improve. When i was a drummer i wanted 2 "drum", better than Neil Peart, my favorite drummer.This "profile", will never be finished, when i think of something that i want to add i do. These "about me", sections..dont make much sense too me..when i write my book, than i'll post that here! ;=)Life is not, something too take for granted. I never did or have. One day i could run, the next day i could not.
