About Me

A self proclaimed nuclear scientist. So she said...I try to be a realist, to find out that Im dillusional. I like to write, but I dont do it as often as I should. There was a time when I was creative in my writing. I lost it somewhere along the way.I love being a wife, and a mom. I enjoy doing the monotonous things in life, with the exception of going to work everyday.I secretly sing when I am by myself. Really loud.I love to "remember when", especially with my husband. We have had a lot of pretty awesome experiences together.I like to drink coffee and smoke ciggarettes -outside early in the morning. I dont get to do that often, but when oppurtunity arises, I capitalize on it.I call me a poem/ Just a few lines long/ Thirty years of hard work-/ Awaiting to write the most magnificent ending./ Another day goes by, the inspiration flees/ I fell on my back which gives birth to a new verse,/ by the awareness of my self created misery./ Ill never know what the ending will be/ until the end is my reality./A constant work in progress/ revised along the way/ one belief left behind, another formed.../ the changing moments of this existence./Forever a new idea supercedes the old/ a new inspiration out of pain./The beautiful thing about poetry..../ You cant have just the first and last lines,/ Its the lines inbetween, the journey/ from first to last/ that makes the poem a poem./For without the trials of life/ How would I know happiness or sadness?/ How would I know love?/ How could there be an existence of me, if there was no inbetween?/ I call me a poem, just a few more lines long.

My Interests

My Husband My kids family good food good music good books good friends art poetry tattoos the lake Spirituality. I have found the way of faith and the way of no faith, I am the bewildered one. (AA Big Book) I think the coolest thing about my personality would be the fact that I have been on both sides of the street, you know..that not so good side, and the good side. There is a balance to be had. You cant really bullshit a bullshitter. I can pretty much guess a persons charachter right off the bat, and the reason I believe I am a good judge of charachter is because I have probably played the game once or ten times in my lifetime. I enjoy a good dinner, a kick ass cd, and a cup of coffee.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that could offer me some insight about myself through their own experience in life. There are people in my life that I admire and try to model my life after, people with wisdom and experience, people with love and patience, these are the types of people I want to meet.Then there would be the obvious...Ani Difranco, Maya Angelou, Emily Dickinson, Ilyana Vanzant, Sark, Anais Nin, Mother Theresa, Jack Kerouack, Betty Paige, Allen Ginsberg, Hope Sandavol, Mia Zapata, Henry David Thoreau, James Frey, Wally Lamb, Annie Proulx, Rumi, and Ghandi.Myself when Im 60. ( I hope I am just like my Grandmother was.) Naive but wise. PUT YOUR I'D LIKE TO MEET SECTION HERE! Changes may take up to 2 mins to show on your profileView All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
