I am here for Friends

About Me

Well, a lil about me... I am a good person who has lived some hard character developing times and experienced some great times too.
I am usually glad to help when I can and am generally willing to lend a shoulder for a friend to lean on.
I was born and raised in California and moved here about 13 years ago.
Most people don't believe me, but I am shy. Quite often mistaken for a snob or bitch because I don't say much at first. I am an observer/listener until I am familiar with a person, group or surroundings. When I know I am with friends and I feel safe, I can become very outgoing. Sometimes I am quiet if I am unfamiliar with a particular topic. I have always been of the opinion, if you have nothing valid to contribute, don't say anything and look stupid. Sitting quietly also allows me to learn about a particular topic and about other people.
Although I try, but I am not a very trusting person at first. Like most people, I've been burned a number of times and tend to think the worst of some situations. My lack of trust has saved me on a more occasions than not, but also led me to say things that have made me look like an ass on others.
I am a fairly open book to anyone I do trust however there are not many. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.
LUVS:
~ My Family & Friends
~ Dragons
~ The Ocean at Night
~ Music of all kinds
~ Drawing
~ Working with my hands
~ Learning new things
~ Camping (even though it's been years)
~ Traveling ~ Horseback riding (Not very good at it since I don't get to very often, but I still enjoy it when I get to)
HATES:
Fortunately, I don't have too many hates...
~ Yard work
~ Waiting for others to do their part or live up to their obligations
~ Guys who act like they are "The Man", when they are nuthing more than whiney, blame everyone else, cheating heart, snot nosed, moma's boys who have no clue of what it takes to be a real man.(If you are offended by that one the you are probably who I am talking about)
But I really, really hate...
~ People who pass narrow minded or un-educated judgements about me. If you are one of them, remember this...You didn't live my life or have to make the decisions I needed to. So piss off!
Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I'm not perfect, and I don't live to be.
But before you start pointing fingers,
make sure your hands are clean.
~ Bob Marley

Lifehouse - First time

We're both looking for something
We've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide

Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance letting you inside

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the scars under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time

The world that I see inside you
Waiting to come to life
Waking me up to dreaming
Reality in your eyes

Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance letting you inside
I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the scars under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time

We're crashing
Into the unknown
We're lost in this
But it feels like home

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the scars that's under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time
Like being in love she said for the first time
Like being in love to feel for the first time

Movies:

Mostly comedies and chick flicks. Really don't get into gore for the sake of blood and guts. I like movies that are thought out and suspensful but really don't get into your general slasher gore stuff.

Television:

Well, since I don't really watch much television it's hard to say:
Trick My Truck,
American Chopper,
Ace of Cackes

Books:

Anything by Edgar Allen Poe

Heroes:

My Grandma Almeida is my one true hero. I want to be like her when I grow up. I guess the challenge would be the growing up part.

RIP Uncle Rick... You are missed!
