"We have women in the military, but they don't put us in the front lines. They don't know if we can fight, if we can kill. I know we can. All the General has to do is walk over to the women and say, "You see the enemy over there? They say you look fat in those uniforms."
Born June 30,1970, I am a Cancer with all the traits to match.
My kids are my energy, heart, soul, mind, & my best friends. Been married twice,that didn't go so well,so now I am divorced and sitting here starring at my walls most of the time because during the school year my kids live the next town over. I think I scare the men in Wisconsin with my ability to think for myself and low bullshit tolerance.I'm exceedingly laid back however, and it takes a lot to offend me or piss me off. Right now I spend most of my time trying to keep myself occupied with the Tunes Radio Network as their station manager and continue to wrestle with my own demons.
I never really made many friends in this state. In my own unique way I guess I am attractive, my hair is pretty short right now because I had to undergo some chemo this past year....I'm still here ain't I. I refuse to give up on myself that easily. I'm done with the bar seen and rarely drink (I can live life without it), don't do drugs,although I do smoke & drink a lot of coffee though.
If you give me a chance, I'll give you a chance. Life isn't about fortune and fame,and who has the biggest toys... it's about staying true to yourself & being real.
Proudly inked(I think I'm up to 14 or so now and still have plans for more....addicting habit.), pierced (ears,eyebrow,tongue, & navel,nose),most people don't even realize I have any of the above mentioned until I start pointing them out, I usually only have a tongue ring in these days. I also run with scissors, play with matches,and test out Red Rider BB guns just to get people upset.
Don't judge me & I promise to not judge you.One of the main reasons I left my hometown was to get away from a whole lot of ignorant,narrow-minded, people who don't know how to view life outside-the-box. That's not me judging, that's a fact.
Now, not to float my own litle boat but, I am probably one of those people who can 9 times out of 10 say "been there,dont that" & knows a little about anything & everything (I cal it being a cornacopia of useless information..."I'll take Theology for $1000 Alex!") and what I do not know, I research so I'm prepared for the next time I'm asked about it so I don't feel under-educated. I always do what I say I am going to do, never turn down a challenge, & some of my friends have voted me "most likely to moon a bus full of tourists for 10 bucks."
I am overly opinionated,blunt,sincere,honest and these are things about me that have gotten me far in life.
