About Me

hello--i'm richie, and you can call me "richie." it's my name, i like it, and it sounds so much better than "dude" or "buddy." i'm a college grad working in mental health, and i recently moved back to my home town of thomasville, ga (a major downer, indeed, but a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do, especially when a guy's got no cheese). once upon a time i was like you, a lively, spritely little thing, but working full-time and a work day that begins at 6:45am quickly remedied most of my late night habits. i still enjoy my friends, music, and drinks as long as they all understand i need sleep to deal with, QUITE literally, a bunch of crazy people every day!if i could have chosen one thing at the beginning of my life, one little hint to help me along my way, it would be that nothing is certain. the last year of my life has certainly shown me that, and some pre-planning really would have helped--but then it wouldn't be LIFE, would it? it's clear to me that the guiding force in the universe isn't done teaching me. after all, i'm still young, somewhat maleable, and resilient enough to take a beating; to some extent, at least.i write in my facebook blog pretty often to keep my long distance lovers abreast on my life. find me and friend me to check it out! not enough? i'm berry0or4bust on AIM.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 ..

My Interests

my favorite shows, making dinner for my friends (fyi, i'm an EXCELLENT cook), food, rekindling my desire for recreational reading, driving around, going to the beach, going out to eat, good cocktails, lively discussion, and as much as i hate to admit...i still like beer pong.

I'd like to meet:

i seriously need to build my base of friends, namely within hang out distance! all of my best friends in the world live many hours away or across the country (the price of a career) so i'm left with few people to have fun with. i'm up for anyone, anything, relatively anywhere (movies, dates, dinner, all included) so holla back. there's nothing better than good food and wine (i'm not afraid to shell out the bucks for it either)--it'll get you a long way.

Music:

i could cut and paste my itunes here, but who the hell cares. i like music for music's sake. and i really like jazz.

Movies:

the neverending story, robin hood: prince of thieves (yeah kevin costner!), dances with wolves (yeah kevin costner!), newsies, the notebook, lotr, boonedock saints, what dreams may come, seven, the dark crystal, sin city, requiem for a dream, chicago, kill bill vol. 1 & 2...the list goes on.

Television:

gilmore girls, desperate housewives, grey's anatomy, brothers & sisters, the food network, and make me a super model!

Books:

the untelling--tayari jones; eat, pray, love--elizabeth gilbert...(still working on this part, remember?)

Heroes:

i'm my own damn hero, as we should be all be for each other. after all we go through we deserve nothing less than to admire ourselves.

My Blog

yep, there it is

some moments in life arrive imperceptibly. they sneak up on us and change something inside us that we don't notice until we have to use that concept again. we all remember a time when--if we had a tra...

and this will be my career?

tonight someone very special came to me with a heavy heart. he said he was on the brink of madness, of leaving life behind in exchange for that paradise we all hope to see one day of natural causes. i...

uncharted territory

there's any number of cheesy, sappy, lovey-dovey bryan adams songs i feel like using as my title that would all be a dead give away of how i've been feeling lately. don't get me wrong, i love bryan ad...

keeping busy makes you forget

my attitude has changed. i can't tell if it's the new semester--my busiest and most difficult--that has brought on this shift or if i actually did it all on my own, but it's about damn time! i'm takin...

the dark side of the moon

i don't know what to think of myself. things just aren't right. i slept somewhere besides my own bed two nights in a row this week with my own merely 3 miles away. that doesn't sound like much to you,...

i guess i assume too much of people. twice today have i been told that the picture in which i'm wearing a [cute] cocktail dress is unattractive. i've always thought that since no one said they didn't ...
