For the unbelievers out there, this is my 16 pc drum set (minus an 18" X 20" tom)
My GEETAR. With Cry Baby wah wahs. Before my kit was 16 pcs.
ABOUT ME:
I am a free spirit first and foremost and my life is really good.
I'm also a born ROCKER who loves rock music and always will.
But, I love all kinds of music, as well.
I'm a A&R Talent Scout with Major Label Scout affiliated with Arista and J Records. I scout music nationally. I was just promoted to Top Super Scout which is held by only a few and I appreciate that so much.
I'm also a local rock band promoter, gig organizer and a musician. I play a 16 pc drum set and electric guitar, some keyboards. I choreograph from time to time helping teach the urban youth hip hop. I believe in supporting local music and Denver has got some of thee best around. I'm involved with alot of city events and concerts.
I grew up in a house full of music. My parents were both excellent competitive singers, musicians and dancers. The music goes generations back in my family. I learned, at a young age, the appreciation for acapella, blended tight harmonies and awesome dance moves. My whole family is from New York (except for my sister, she's a California baby) and I love the excitement there. But, Denver, CO is my home.
My music interests are vast. Anything from Rock to Gospel, Hip Hop to funk, pop to DJ electronic. I love shredders like Steve Vai and Eddie Van Halen.I'm not a big fan of Opera and classical. Although, I appreciate the extreme talent that goes into both and have been brought to tears by the beauty of them from time to time. I'm not interested in death and satanic metal or sexual/violent hip hop/rap.
I'm an early 80's rocker chick that rides a HOG and races my GoKart/dirtbike. I'm not into pornography, wearing less and talking nasty because I think that it's "in". I'm all about being a lady with class and nothing less. I'm a lover, not a fighter. A "social butterfly" that loves meeting people and being around them. I'll be your friend until the end and support you all the way, but I won't be anybody's doormat.
I'm a bit feisty, little rebel left in me and I pretty much say what I feel. I'm very passionate about everything I do. I put my heart & soul into everything that I care about. Not 50%, 100%.
Some people get meaner as they age, I'm getting alot mellower and don't like drama at all. Been there, done that and...I'm likin' life on the smooth side now. Life is good if you want it to be and I do!
BUT...I am "militant":)just like my whole family. We stand up for things that we truly believe in and I love that.
My Christian faith is really important to me. But, I'm not into religion. I speak openly about my recovery with alcohol (14 years sober!) and with Al Anon (family/loved ones of alcoholics). I work with artists/bands of all faiths, beliefs and cultures and respect all choices.
Dance is also my life. I started at the age of 4 with tap dance lessons and haven't stopped since. I've helped choreograph dance teams for battle (hip hop) and have taught C&W dances such as the electric slide, sleazy slide, Cowboy Cha Cha and Swing. I've been known to "Coyote Ugly" at venues for years (without doing stripping or pole dancing. Just alot of STOMPIN'!!:), dancing on bar tops.........it's alot of fun with a bunch of girls. Dance keeps me alive, along with the music.
DISLIKES When people start things and then pretend to be innocent, like they've been hurt :(
I've been blessed with a big chest. It throws my dancing off.
Addicted drinkers~ I'm sorry, I have no tolerance for that. I was one and hated it. If you want to quit badly enough, you will. CHILDREN ALWAYS PAY FOR OUR MISTAKES. IF YOU CAN'T QUIT FOR YOURSELF, DO IT FOR THEM.
Ignorance
Racism
Violence
Guns
Negativity~~ you know, those people that find something bad in everything they see or hear,whine and complain. That's sad. They're missing out on all the good stuff.
Bullying
Liars
Shaved, short haircuts on guys. Either go bald completely or grow some Donald Trump hair.
When people blame us for their unhappiness.They had their undies in a bunch before we even knew them!!! DONCHA JUST HATE THAT?
Jealousy~ Imitation is thee BEST form of flattery
denial
Britney and Lindsay and Paris all runnin' around without any panties on. Now come on, girls....you're gonna catch colds!!!
Losing loved ones
Mince meat pie (what in the heck is in that?)
deep dark water
Walking into some "bad air". I WILL call them out, so don't do it around me:)
Ferris Wheels
hairy backs
"Scene kid" pictures with kids and their mouths wide open. Can ya GET your mouth opened up any farther and is that "cute"?
hairy ears~~ actually, hairy noses, ears and backs. Ew!
Head cheese~~(who's head is it made out of n'ways?)
seeing people hurting
Heartlessness. I'll never understand that, fully. Imperfections,...yeah. heartlessness....never.
control
Little old people that flip me the bird.
tummy aches
Being less than you are
Settling
Just existing and immense fear of living
Bad breath and opened toe sandals
Fake people~~~ones that tell you all the things you wanna hear and they don't mean a word of it.
Ugly fish (that's why ugly parent fishes shouldn't make babies)
Self obsessed
Wedgies
brussel sprouts
I don't like seeing bands not supporting each other. That's sad :(

Television:

THE RICHES~~ This is a new TV series on FX and...it's strange. About a family of con artists starring Minnie Driver (she had to lose her English accent for a southern one:) as the wife, mom, ex con in prison and a theif. It's kind of a dark comedy with things happening all the time in it. Once you start watching, ya can't stop. Adult language in it, though. It also has Gregg Henry in it...who, yep, went to Lakewood High School, too. (lots of us LHS Tigers out there)
INTERVENTION~~~ Love that show! Wish they would of had that on years ago.
AMERICAN IDOL~~~That's self explanatory. I picked Taylor Hicks as the winner last round right off the bat! Then, the next season, I picked Jordin Sparks in my top 4. This year, I picked David Cook in my Top 4 from 24 contestants on down. Yeehaw.
SURVIVOR -------I am a major Survivor Freak and American Idol. (I know....cheesy, but I still like it).
PARENTAL CONTROL~~~It used to be ELIMIDATE that I liked. So, it's dorky, I know, but I think the parents are hilarious.
VIVA LA BAM~~ Bam Magera needs to be whooped HARD by Phil and Don Vito and, April.....stop letting the turd wreck your house. Ay yi yi...not a favorite of mine cuz it baffles me.
OCC CHOPPER~~~Gotta love the bikes. And Paul Jr. is a hottie! M-m-m-m.
