I am here for Dating and Friends

About Me

First and foremost, I have an amazing 4-year-old son named Ian who keeps me on my toes and teaches me as much as I teach him. It is so incredible to see a child grow from the perspective of a parent. Secondly, I miss my best friend more than I can express with words. Nik, my husband and Ian's father, passed away on July 22, 2006. I cannot say enough about him to do him justice. He was, hands-down, the most intelligent person that I have ever known and continues to teach me so much even from his current stage of existence. Though I have accepted the fact that I will miss him for the rest of my life and have my occassional bad days, I am coping very well and moving on with my life. I cherish the past, but I live for today and look to the future.Every single moment we have here with the people we love is so precious, and I refuse to waste any amount of time being unhappy if I can help it at all; therefore, I don't do regrets. I believe that EVERYTHING that happens in life happens for a reason- no matter how good or bad it may seem at the time. If we are concious of that fact, we will eventually be able to piece it all together and gain a greater understanding of our lives, so I try to take everything in stride and "go with the flow". Can I weather the seasons of my life? Guess we'll see."Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, totally worn out and screaming,"WOO HOO what a ride!"..Myspace Layouts

PimpingYourSpace.com Rules!

I'd like to meet:

Bush to tell him what an idiot he is.

Music:

TOOL, Wasting Days, The Doors, The Beatles, Alice in Chains, Fleetwood Mac, Tori Amos, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The White Stripes, Johnny Cash, Radiohead, Nirvana, bluegrass, anything that can be played around a camp fire, pretty much whatever suits the moment...

Movies:

It depends on my mood. There are way too many good ones to list, though anything with Johnny Depp is inevitably good.

Television:

I don't watch a lot of TV, but when I do, you can bet one of five channels will be on: the History Channel, Comedy Central, CNN, C-SPAN, or the Weather Channel.

Books:

The Joy or Living and Dying in Peace, To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, Lord of the Rings, The Grapes of Wrath, A Tale of Two Cities, The Old Man and the Sea, Roadside Geology books... That's a good start...

Heroes:

I don't generally do "heroes." People will ALL disappoint you at some time or another. BUT, if you want to label them as such, my amazing grandmother and in so many ways, my beautiful, eccentric, and stunningly intelligent late husband, Nik. May he rest in peace and love!

My Blog

This is the way I feel, and I DO NOT apologize to anyone!

I have something to say, and I want to say it loudly and make it clear to everyone how I feel about this.  I just read a bulletin that is being circulated regarding Barack Obama's religious affil...

It still takes my breath away...

..No matter how I move on, no matter how far I get from it, it still takes my breath away when I see pictures of Nik and think about him.  The whole thing is still so surreal, so poignant... ...

When did I lose track of the one thought that's gotten me through the last year?  Time to refer back to my previous blog "On Fate and Fear" and remind myself...  One can NEVER know wha...

March 24

Tomorrow would have been Nik's 26th birthday.  I would have been getting up early with Ian to let Nik sleep in a bit.  Then, we would have made him breakfast and baked a strawberry cake from...
