I am the variable in your equation

About Me

Meh, I'm me. I'm going through a very changing time in my life right now. I'm tired of sitting back and not getting ahead. I'm working so much harder now than I have ever in the past, and I'm loving it.
...I don't think I could describe myself very well, but here goes... I think I'm a complex person. I'm an emotional, empathetic, stubborn, determined and persistent being. I’m a hopeless romantic at heart, and it has caused me heartache in the past. The past is there to learn from! I have been through many phases in my life, but I think I finally have figured out (well mostly) what I would like to accomplish in this lifetime. Starting with wanting to go back to school for what seems like FOREVER now, but didn't have the time, money, drive, etc. I've finally re-enrolled to earn a bachelors in business management, and am supposed to graduate May 2010. And I'm doing it this time too, dammit! 4.0 GPA so far... so I'm feeling confident! :o) I'm excited to approach the next part of my life....
As far as interests go... I'd have to say extreme sports, cars, computers, car audio and traveling. There's a lot more places I'd like to visit in the US (hopefully sooner than later). I'd love to see the West Coast. I haven't been further that Missouri! Well… unless you count my trip out to SLC, Utah. But I flew out, so I didn’t get to take the scenery in while driving. Road trips are heaven on earth!
I also have a love of the arts. I have a special interest in body modification/art. At one point in time, I did have my tongue, eyebrow, bellybutton and lip pierced. Unfortunately the corporate world me. So conservative it is. I have 1 tattoo that I got in June with my best friend Missie on my upper back. It’s safe to say that I’m addicted to tattoos… I’d love to get a 3/4 sleeve done, but again, corporate world me. I also love alternative styles. I love to express myself with clothing, hair, jewelry, etc.
And one cannot forget about my love for the f-body… firebirds, trans ams, & camaros that is! I have a 1991 Firebird right now, but I think it’s about time to say goodbye… she need WAY too much electrical work & that Florida sun is killer! Someday I hope to own an ’78, ’92 & ’02 Trans Am though. I think for now I’m going to sell out and get an ’08 Scion tC! Shhh… don’t tell!
And last, but definitely not least...if you know me, you'll know my obsession with music... Doesn't matter what mood I'm in, it's my drug. It can take me to another place. (If only it was easier to get into THAT industry, haha!). I’d like to take up electric guitar sometime in the near future; I’ve always wanted to learn. I'd like to be a vocalist for a band, but that's just not in the cards right now... I got plenty of life ahead of me, so I'm gonna keep doin' my thing. 8-)

People I know now, or knew in the past. That's what this thing is for, right? And a select few new interesting e-friends. =]

Famous People? Well.....

I made this music player at MyFlashFetish .com.

Music:

Music is probably the biggest part of my character. I listen to a lot of everything, totally obscure. I see music as an artform, and I can find talent in (almost) anything. I learned a long time ago it is stupid to limit myself to what genre I listen to.

I listen to mostly 'rock' - and I use that term losely because so many different genre's fit into that category. Key West has an awesome radio station: Island 107.1. They play a lot of indie/alternative music, which is (probably) my main preference. Although, I love to rock out to some screamcore metal, classic rock, country and even pop sometimes as well. I won't bore anyone with a complete list of favorites/influences, hehe.

Some of my ultimate favorites:
Nirvana
Boston
Pink
The Killers
Marilyn Manson
Crystal Method
The Cure
Jimmy Eat World
Shiny Toy Guns

See what I mean? lol

Movies:

Seriously waaaaaay too many to list - maybe when I get bored. Heh.

Television:

The Office, My Name Is Earl, CSI: Miami, Invader Zim, American Dad, Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, Home Movies, Brak Show, Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

Books:

John Saul, Stephen King, Dan Brown, Anne Rice... anything suspense w/ a good writing style :o) --- High Performance Pontiac, Car Audio & Electronics, & Sport Compact Car Magazines.

Heroes:
