About Me


perrier with pomegranate seeds in it, when i drink these days, i drink really, really good wine and beer and gin oh and an occasional tequila shot and pink champagne when it is cristal rose especially.... boys. . . yes, i love them. loving patrick dempsey, hugh jackman, hugh grant, colin firth, simon baker are HOT. and crazy as it is, i love the business of entertainment, and all it encompasses
i am way into tv, tho i don't watch much in real time, i DVR three things at once. TIVO being one of the greatest inventions of all time, seriously spoiled by pausing live tv and skipping the ads, though i will watch ads that are clever and amuse me, like the 'i'm a mac, i'm a pc,' online, still finding time to watch everything is hard, i should sleep more. i think the nielsen ratings should be seriously reevaluated as people don't just watch shows in real time now. how shows can stay or go based on these antiquated ratings is beyond me.
i do not like capital letters, have always written in lower case when journaling, which got me in a lot of trouble at school
i triple xxx love my iPod touch
apple computers and anything apple related, including apples, but prefer fuji and gala, music, iTunes and netflix, the moon the ocean, mountains, the english countryside, my homeland, stonehenge, music that moves me, and i only want to write with a fountain pen that has blue ink, not black ink
tho i love the internet and my laptop, there is still nothing better than to read a good book with a nice cuppa tea or a magazine, however, i subscribe to too many magazines and i don't have enough hours in the day
there is no such thing as having too many apple related anythings
i'm a very liberal democrat & treasure my McGovern Come Home America tshirt, nothing makes me happier than when the people that i know are working doing what they love, i seriously multitask, hate to answer the phone unless i know who it is, tho i love the convenience of a mobile phone and come december- goodbye verizon HELLO iPhone!!!!have become quite fond of texting, triple love email, earbuds, not headphones, i love LA, mountain streams, green lush land, walking through forests, starry nights, overcast and cool- yes, winter - yes, summer - no, hot and sunny - no. sushi and cold sake. tequila and mexican food. lobster, cavier and a nice bottle of Louis Roederer Cristal Rose, yes, yes, yes and a gin and tonic with lime
© every moment whether borne of joy or pain, has the potential for grace realized . . . yes, i did write that quote many years ago, yes i am THAT aj, (charlie shaughnessy's aj) and most of all, i pray for world peace
To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts unexpressed - that can make of this earth a garden. - Goethe
Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes. -Goethe
Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid. - Goethe
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. - Goethe
The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. -Goethe
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. -Goethe
Whoever wishes to keep a secret must hide the fact that he possesses one. - Goethe
