About Me


Someone wise once said "to be normal and follow the crowd, means losing who you are in order to be someone else". Truer words have never been spoken. Most people who think they are individuals and not part of the crowd.. tend to be the ones who are the most lost.. they're part of the crowd, but they try hard to stand out because they don't want to be like everyone else...but they don't want to be so different that they're shunned. They're afraid to be different because they need the security that comes with being one of thousands.
I don't need the security of a crowd. I'm somewhat of a loner, preferring my own company to that of the masses. I'm one of those crazy people who would prefer one or two good friends over hundreds of acquaintances. I don't need to be popular or liked by many.. and my world doesn't stop or fall apart just because someone doesn't like me.
I am an artistic person, with paints, cameras, and words. I rather enjoy spending time with my creativity, and it tends to suit me. I am passionate about music, it is a big part of my life. I can't imagine the world without it.
All that being said.. I'm a fairly open and caring person. I believe life should be lived to it's fullest.. with very few regrets.

My Interests

Reading, writing, painting, drawing, photography, cooking, etc. I've got quite a few hobbies.. most of them revolve around art somehow.

I'd like to meet:

You can run around searching for what you think you've never found.. but it's right there in front of you, you just need to open your eyes.
People who are capable of having thoughts of their own, who speak whats on their mind, who don't try to fit into society just because they're afraid to standout. Happy people, silly people, angry people, sad people, etc.. everyone's welcome.
I am not looking to hook-up, cyber, swap naughty pictures, etc. Just thought I'd throw that in there since every perv out there seems to think that fat women are into that.
Almost forgot.. if you think people are disposable (you get into a fight and kick them to the curb type thing) you need not apply. I don't consider myself to be disposable.

Music:

Far as radio goes, in Colorado Springs my radio is faithfully tuned to Kilo, in San Diego it's faithfully tuned to KGB. My taste in music is varied.. I firmly believe that sticking yourself in one genre and not giving the others a chance is robbing yourself of the beauty that is music. Without any further a-do I present to you my playlist.. enjoy!

Movies:

Not a big movie person. When I do watch movies it's usually horror/comedy/sci-fi.

Television:

Don't watch a lot of tv..chances are if you mention something tv or movie related, I won't get it. Frustrates a lot of people, but I'm well worth that frustation. I do watch Heroes and I'm getting into Reaper. Other than that.. I don't have much use for tv, aside from my occasional rare indulgence in Jackass.

Books:

I love books. Piers Anthony, David Eddings, Peter Benchley, Harry Turtledove... I like Sci-fi/Fantasy/Thrillers the best, but read just about anything I can get my hands on.

Heroes:

My dad is my hero.. he fought hard to live as long as he could. Even through all the pain he still managed to make his family smile.. he was and always will be Superman.
Law enforcement, firefighters, military men and women, etc. the people who put their lives on the line to protect other people.. they are my heros.
