God, what am I interested in??? People. I'm not a really good solitary person. I like being with at least one other person or more. I don't have the opportunity to do most of the things I like. I like the outdoors, when I can find it. I'm dying to learn to kayak. Movies and reading. Computers are kinda my livelihood, so that's a given. I'm a traveler. My name should have been Wanderlust. I will step foot on all 7 continents before I am 30 years old. I love the clubs, and parties. Dancing is my therapy, it is my expression. I would die if I wasn't allowed to dance. I like doing all the normal crap they would put in a list box for me to check off.
I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet people that can do the
impossible. The simple tasks that almost all of us aspire to accomplish.
Look beyond the first seven seconds of a face-to-face encounter. Say "Yes"
when the mind screams "NO!" Give ourselves over to the gamble of a dream, to
chance, with reasoned mind and heart. See what lies just below the surface.
Give an accurate account of what we see in the mirror. Believe in the
unbelievable. Laugh. There are plenty of times in life to cry. I want to
meet those who laugh, who forgive, who can stand alone, who walk away from
battles not worth fighting. I want to meet someone Honest and Sincere. I
want to meet someone who would say nothing rather than lie to me. The TRUTH
is most important above all.
Some very important quotes:
* In the beginning, our paths set out in a straight line,
like a ray of light headed to the stars. The gravity of the stars, like the
people we meet, bends and reshapes our course. They alter us, and our paths.
Some in subtle ways, others more dramatically. Yet each time our final
destination changes, and we become a better person in different ways. Most
often it is in wisdom and experience. On this journey, to which there may be
no true end, these people are our stars, our compass, guiding us along the
way.
Where our destiny lies, we do not know, who we will be
when we arrive, we cannot say, and what people we will know, we can only
hope. It is in this, and these people, that we will find our true selves,
our true fate, and our true happiness.
-- Me
O ther 'Must Knows':
* Time is a storm in which we are all hopelessly
lost.
-- Anonymous
* The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of
their dreams.
-- Eleanor Roosevelt
* My Father's dead, my Mother's a whore, my Brother
wants to kill me, and my Sister's smokin' crack.
-- Nate on "Six Feet Under"
* Better never to have met you in my dreams than to
wake and reach for hands that are not there.
-- Unknown
* The journey of a thousand miles begins with
a single step.
-- Unknown
* The greatest journey in life may be the
distance between two people.
-- Unknown
* Our truest lives are when we are in our dreams awake.
-- Henry David Thoreau
* We sleep to time's hurdy-gurdy, we wake, if we
ever wake, to the silence of God. And then, when we wake to the deep shores
of time uncreated, then when the dazzling dark breaks over the far slopes of
time, then it's time to toss things, like our reason and our will; then it's
time to break our necks for home.
There are no events but thoughts and the heart's hard
turning, the heart's slow learning where to love and whom. The rest is
merely gossip, and tales for other times.
-- Annie Dillard "Holy the Firm"
* "You aren't going to be his first, maybe not his last,
or his only. He's loved before, he may love again, but if he loves you now
what else matters? He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you
will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes
you to think twice, and admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on
to him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's
not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that
he knows you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, don't expect
more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell
when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there. Love hard when
there is love to be had."
-- Original version from Wonder-Woman (aka: Cynthia)
* Why do people have to die?...
-- To make life important…
Music:
The song: "I See Right Through to You" by DJ Encore is my favorite song of all time. Music is great. The song had it right when it said: If God was a DJ, Life is a dance floor, Love is rythm music, and You are the music. It probably says it differently, but I like it this way. My favorite music is Dance. Whatever it's called, or whatever you want to call it: House, Techno, Trance, etc... If it's in a Gay Dance Club, it's perfect. I like almost all music, however. Country, R&;B, Jazz, Soft Rock, Pop, Oldies, 80's. I am a huge fan of Big Band Music and Lounge Singers. The '40's and Sinatra, music like that. Classical and Opera are incredible. I could find a piece of Classical music to set as the background for every moment of life. I don't like Heavy Metal, Hip-Hop, etc. A.K.A.: Noise
Movies:
Movies are great. I'm a huge fan of the cinema, I don't care how outrageous the price of popcorn is these days. I could lay down and watch movies non-stop for at least 4 hours at a time. Favorite Movies: (Too hard to answer) I'm in LOVE with Julia Roberts... I just recently completed my collection of every film she has ever acted in (Thank you Liz!). Pretty Woman and The Pelican Brief are at the top, I know. I like everything though... Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi, love Horror, Drama... Brokeback Mountain. I saw it, I cried, I ached. It was moving, and terrifying, and even though it had some parts I would change, I can't, and I love it all the same.
Television:
I used to love TV. I had all these shows I loved to watch... I really don't know what happened. All of a sudden, one day I realized I hadn't seen any of those shows in ages. I would say I still like TV, but I don't often get the chance. The only three things I make time for are House, The Daily Show with John Stewart, and the Colbert Report.
Books:
Love Malcolm Gladwell (Blink, The Tipping Point... they will change your perspective). Of course Dan Brown. (Like them all, 'cept Deception Point was slow.) James Frey rocks! (Who cares what's true, the stories are incredible. Plus... Leonard's GAY! So Fuck Off Oprah!) I like Robert Crais (Anything with Elvis Cole... who doesn't love a Disney freak?) Robert Jordan and George R.R. Martin (No, he's not the LOTR guy) I really love Christopher Rice's "Density of Souls." It is perhaps my favorite book of all time. The book "Call of the Wild" is a must for those who don't know their direction... it will make you bawl.
Heroes:
Defining "Heroes" is a monumental task, and one that comes down to common wisdom and pure semantics. There is a general philosophy that Angels walk the Earth, here among us mere mortals. And with that, I passionately agree. The words are just confused, for those Angels are my Heroes... some I call friends, and the others I call family. They all know who they are, how much they mean to me, and how important they are to my life.
