I am here for Friends

About Me

Well, I don't really like talking about myself due to my narcissistic tendencies. Oh yeah... & I don't like sarcasm either...(wink-wink)... But since I must... I'm basically a "what you see is what you get" individual... Which kinda makes me quite bull s*it intolerant. To me, staying true & being real is non-negotiable... However, I'm a lot less serious than this turns out to sound, you just have to get to know me before that side of me shows. They say God works in mysterious ways, & for a long time I pondered why He was so mysterious on my @ssets. I used to believe that "destiny was a matter of choice, not chance" until I discovered that fulfilment in life cannot be attained by forcing one's own destiny; instead, one must be receptive to the path laid for them by nature and circumstance, which will provide what is necessary to get you to the place you are meant to be. Of all the changes, ups & downs last year put me though I can honestly say that things DO ALWAYS work out for the best (God only has three answers for us, Yes, Not yet, and I've got something better in mind). And it all comes down to this, after being accepted in to Rice University in Houston TX, my roads have taken 6 strange, unexpected, facinating detours. Long story short, that somehow brought me full circle to the Beautiful, Weird City of Austin, TX. I will be working with all my heart & strength in obtaining my Masters Degree in Industrial Psychology. I do not regret moving, however it's difficult not to become homesick when you've left so much behind (I miss my family & friends terribly, not to mention good Mexican Food). Hopefully, I'll be blessed to find quality friends here as well. __________________________________________

My Interests

My most important interest is my family & friends. Also very much into Photography, Painting, Sculpting, Rock Climbing, Dancing (Salsa, Merengue, Belly & Flamenco), Wine, deep conversations, Politics, Philosophy, Theology.... MY Dallas Cowboys, San Antonio Spurs, of course "Hook'em Horns"! I also LOVE Soccer, Hockey (my Killer Bees)... Good or bad season, I love my teams... my loyalty in every aspect of life runs deep & does not waiver with circumstance, Boxing.... I'm a weird mix of a refined lady with a tom-boy inside. Oh yeah... and Just because I ALWAYS get what I want Doesn't mean I'm spoiled!

I'd like to meet:

Edward Witten, Albert Einstain, Nitya LaCroix, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, Diego Rivera, Gustav Klimt, Leonardo DaVinci, Rigoberta Menchu, Jorge Luis Borges, Pablo Neruda & Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Oh yeah, and a real man like Pedro Infante __________________________________________ Yeah, I LOVE BARACK! __________________________________________WHAT I MISS ABOUT HOME THE MOST IS HANGING OUT WITH MY GIRLS!Try JibJab Sendables !

Music:

ALL... Literally ALL! Visit my playlist ;o) But one fact remains: You can take the girl out of the honky tonk, But you can’t take the honky tonk out of the girl!

Movies:

Anything Epic, controversial, funny or action packed. NO CHICK Flicks! Not fond of horror either, I'd rather pay to get a laugh than tensed up. Favorites// Epic: Braveheart--War: Saving Private Ryan/ Windtalkers--Biography:En Epoca de Mariposas /Frida -- Romance: City of Angels(Still)/Memoirs of a Geisha--Comedy: Love actually, Napoleon D & Mind of Mencia-- Western: Tombstone--Contemporary: Crash (LOVED it!)/ Intl: Amores Perros/ Todo sobre mi Madre/ Sexo, Pudor y Lagrimas-- Horror: Hannibal Lecter (trio)-- Ohh... and I love Adaptation! And how could I forget The Salton Sea!!!

Television:

Don't have time to watch it much. Family Guy, Moonlight, Grey's Anatomy, Law & Order SVU. I do miss Friends & Sex & the City though...

Books:

Summa Theologiae, The Essential Doctrine, A Treatise of Human Nature, Zen-Advaita-Tantra, Tao Te Ching, The Ma Wang Tui Manuscripts, The Art of Tantric Sex, Beyond Good and Evil, The Prince, The Art of War, On the Will in Nature, Crossing Borders, Cien años de Soledad, Amor en Tiempos de Colera, El conde de Saint Germain, Connie Mendez, Pablo Neruda & Jorge Luis Borges... I could go on for days... Yeah, I'd rather read than watch T.V. Apparently (at least in my own head) I imagine better scripts that what makes it to the big screen.

Heroes:

Dr. Evil, Darth Vader & Magneto, I always fall for the bad boys and want them to win LOL... I guess I try to find the good in them before they became damaged goods and forget that its too late to turn them back. Now seriously, All personalities that are gone... that made history... In actuality... well, I'm undetermined. I admire those who strive to accomplish great things, unfortunately it seems like most of us are just letting life pass us by.... too busy with all the trivial evils of survival to actually lend a helping hand. But I like discovering noble souls who inspire me to be a better person.
