My interests are broad and eclectic I am interested in many things as I'm certain we all are.
My passions are books,poetry, all forms of literature, libraries, educational centers of all kinds, history and learning channels and learning and of course journals I write in mine every day at
least a page or two a day it has become a
habit and a love that I have nurtured since
i was 15 years old I've kept them all my life and intend to always as long as I have the grace to write. In my opinion books are one of my most precious belongings without
books I know my life would be quite different and I am living proof
that a library and a book can not only change but save a life
, my love of books has enriched my life in ways untold. Museums especially the Metropolitan in New York
which i find to be one of the most interesting
and beautiful museums ever made, music
of all kinds from..
opera to hip hop to rap,there's no rap without Tupac though,
and knowledge I look forward every day to learning something new for
I believe when we stop learning we stop living,
cultures from all over the world inspire me and
aside from my job and literature is my
greatest source of learning. I love to see how people live, how different cultures have developed and the history of other civilizations.For me truth is most important in every area of my life, without truth there is no faith, without
truth we live falsely truth is what i cherish most
in a love a child or a friend ,self expression
and whatever makes you who you are is what makes
one want to get to know you so always
be you and let the world find you. My Art and my loved ones
of course are paramount in my life, they are the driving force in my life. They make it all worth while, They're my life."JUST AS I AM"
I pursue the words
like Jack the ripper
to use them,
contort them
and create what I want
an impressionist of the modern expression
and many have come and gone before me
but that's not my concern
I'm simply here
like Michelangelo was,
like Bach was,
like Shakespeare was
doing the best I can with the tools of my time
no love or status required
only the pen in my hand
the paper in which to deliver my lines
and I breathe.
You Are a Peacemaker Soul
You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can.
War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace.
You are a good mediator and a true negotiator.
Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy.
While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental.
You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take.
On the flip side, you've got a great sense of humor and wit.
You're always diplomatic and able to give good advice.
Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul
What Kind of Soul Are You?..
ON MY LAST DAY
This is a story made for the ages and when you asked if I was surprised I said no, because I know this love, after 34 years I found it and I have it.If I found this to be my last day, my last moment I would gather all whom I love and share with them every reason why they are my most beloved.I would throw a magnificent and quiet dinner party and blow all my money giving my loved ones special gifts. I would give my daughter my journals and my sons my books. I would give my beloved my pictures and my cuz my poetry and my book, and I would go in peace giving all I love a little piece of me.I would want my daughter to know that she is complete, a beautiful and strong queen with magic to create, magic that I have been blessed to see first hand. I would want her to know that she carries me inside her already and always will and I am so proud to be her mother.I would want my sons to know that I am proud of the men I see in them. The shadow of me in male form. That I see them as heavens gifts who brought me to womanhood and taught me a special kind of love, one reserved for us unlike any before or since.I would want my mother to know that I always loved her, there is no pain that can shatter,it only breaks for a little while. All can mend.I would want my brothers to know that it was crazy as hell being between a queen and a thug but they both taught me to love difference, and them.I would want my cuz to know that she helped me grow when I thought that I was stunted and helped me see things in me that I only thought could be found through a looking glass and brought them to light. She's made me shine at the dullest moments.And I would want my beloved to know that my heart breathed it's first breath when I met him. That the kind of love we share was simply a word and not a feeling until he showed it to me in living color. That there is not one thing that I would ever regret in our love for they are all full of moments of him. That HE is MY LOVE and through death and time it will always be so.And to all of you that if I were to take only one thing with me it would be my memory because with that I will never be alone for you all live in it always, vivid, eternally.this would be my last day and I would leave in peace..
I'd like to meet:
Artists in all fields.Those who don't cosider themselves Artists but who can't seem to quench that thirst to create even the smallest of things every day even if it's a tasty apple pie.Poets, Musicians, Painters, Writers, Readers and lovers of literature weather they read it write it teach it or just can't do without it Journalers and all creative souls who love and share their work(no matter what form of art that may be) with a soul always looking to become greater and always to gain knowledge however I am not here to meet anyone who is interested in a love or physical connection I have the man I will spend my life with already. Also if your profile is full of ladies with their boobs and asses hanging out that's not what I am interested in either and I have no desire to be in your top 8,16 or 24 with what is meant for my man on display you however are entitled to enjoy what yoy enjoy and more power to you whoever you might be but believe me I'm not the one so if your coming my way and at me please have something of intelligence to say or have your page express that.Your willingness to be kind and compassionate toward yourself is the foundation of inner peace and peace for the planetYou are already complete. Whole, perfect. All this action and effort to become special is only making you very unspecial and creating tremendous pain and suffering.Go into the sunshine and be happy with what you see.If you do not get it from yourself, Where will you go for it??"These are Some..of The Places..That I will visit..In my lifetime....

Television:
I must say I am not a fan of commercial television. The programs they give most of these days have no substance and are full of all the things we as people protest not to want, but can't or won't stop watching and there for promote. The so called reality shows full of cheaters, liars and overeater's leave me wanting so I don't bother. When I do decide to watch it's educational t.v. that calls to me. My favorite programs are either on Discovery or the Learning Channel, otherwise it's a DVD of a previous movie on my boob tube..

Still here are a few that I truly enjoyed, perhaps you might enjoy one of them as well...
Heroes:
Heroes to me are not what most would view as heroes, however I found a poem which says it best.
True Heroes
True heroes are not sportsmen or sportswomen though some with that would not agree
And true heroes are not wealthy power brokers with a strong sense of I, myself and me,
'No' true heroes are the under class battlers whose battle is against the odds
The poor and the forgotten fringe dwellers and the people frowned on by the Gods.True heroes not Hollywood starlets or president or king or queen
And nothing is written about them in Newspaper and magazine
They are seen as the under achievers by those who have tainted the name of success
Those who believe that the influence of money is the only key to happiness.True heroes live in the poor suburbs the working poor and those on welfare
They keep keeping on through the hard times and battle the ghosts of despair
It's so true that many must grow poorer just to create one new millionaire
And don't tell me that in war as in love that everything in life is fair.True heroes in many ways powerless as they struggle up life's steep incline
And they don't dine in upper class restaurants and drink the most expensive wine
The odds seem heavily stacked against them yet bravely they keep keeping on
And only the truest of heroes keep hoping when all hope seems gone.Francis Duggan
