NEW YEAR! HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE!

About Me

I'm into writing poetry. My poems have literally been gathering dust, so i've decided to start putting them to music.... unfortunately, i'm not a musician but my mate is, we'll see what happens. I am interested in human beings and the reasons we are what we are, so although i was never dedicated enough to do a degree, i have read a few psychology books, and watched a few programmes on the subject, not that long ago i agreed to be a guinea-pig on a tv show about the psychology of happiness, which was very interesting. i am also very creative and want to dedicate more time to getting back into my artwork as for far too long i've let the more mundane things get in the way.for too long i have felt uninspired i need the fires of my imagination stoking!I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

although i love Yoga i'm currently into circuit training, i enjoy cooking good healthy wholesome food,i'm a serial reader i'm reading 3 books at the moment,i really love all types of Music,i also like to go out for the odd dance,i'm into Poetry, but more the writing side, its sad but true i've read very few books by other people,it's also been a while since i've been to any readings.

I'd like to meet:

after watching Richie Havens on the woodstock video,i realised why my mum had been so blown away when she had seen him in concert,a year before i was born, i was amazed to find out that he was still gigging,and have now had my mind blown, twice! he's quality! after reading a couple of her biogs i discovered Maya angelou was a talented, creative, interesting, soulful women, she basically made me feel as if i havent lived,and spured me to persevere. also i just have to put the usual suspects, Martin Luther King and Gandhi, after readng a few books about these guys i couldnt help but be humbled by their determination, spiritual strenghth and efficacy(i think thats the right word)?

adopt your own virtual pet!
