About Me

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" Jack Kerouac

My Interests

Music:

I couldn't even begin to make a dent here but I'll try. I like it all. Muddy Waters (my Daddy turned me on to him, he saw him play in a tin shack in Alabama way back in the day! Whole Wheat Bread Jets to Brazil Dave Matthews Band Fleetwood Mac Lucero Mofro Eryka Badu Moby Killers Marvin Gaye The Allman Brothers Van Morrison N.E.R.D. Yo La Tengo Tom Waits Perfect Circle Tori Amos Cake Mos Def (a new found one for me thanks to a good friend) Kanye West The Used Garbage Dead Kennedy's Cold Play Yeah Yeah Yeahs John Legend Prince Fugazi Elbow Hooverphonic Morcheeba Violent Femmes My Nephew Max (he's five, plays a mean violin) and the list goes on and on and onYea, I like Tom Jones, whatcha gonna do about it??

Movies:

It's a great day when you have a "Christopher Walkin" movie day and it includes both True Romance AND Wedding Crashers...WTF!! I love movies, well made ones, but stupid ones as well. A good documentary that makes me think is never bad. Some favorites: Napolean Dynamite Last Samurai The Beach Pulp Fiction High Fidelity The Godfather Swingers Pollack Disney films with my Nephews (OK by myself sometimes too!)

Books:

Give me a new one with a great story or an innovative lesson and I'm there. I love to read and love to have someone turn me on to something new. Erika is my library!

Heroes:

Mom and Dad are my heroes and even though Daddy is not here his influence is felt daily. My parents gave me a strength of character that has carried me through some difficult times. Walk with your shoulders back and head up is what Dad used to say, be true to yourself is what Mom still says, I can't think of a better combination created out of those two statements.

So much has changed for me and yet, I'm still that quirky girl with big ideas and hopes and dreams. Lately I've been worried that I'm losing my edge, that maybe I'm not pushing me as hard as I should,...

Thinking, just thinking

Things have been quite kooky/crazy the past couple of weeks, turning 41 really kicked my ass.  Cause and effect, that's probably going to be the theme for 2007.  I am making some changes and...

Should I be a Mommy??

No, I'm not pregnant or adopting...I have an opportunity to get a cute puppy and I'm struggling with whether I should or not.  They are Chow/Lab mix, will get to be about 30 pounds and are cuter ...

Don't forget

This is the time of year we all party a little harder, hug a little longer and laugh a little louder but there are many who don't have much of that any time of the year.  If you have warm clothe...
