Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness

About Me

I'm a californian girl with a passion for art. I'm a daughter. I'm a sister, and a loyal friend. I have my father's toughness and my mother's warmth. I say, we have one life to live, so make the best with what you have. Live each day as your last. Don't forget the humour too. Make love not war. Don't just dance to one song. Dance all night. Stay a kid as looong as you can. Be a light to others and it will be returned to you.

Music:

There's too much to list; I LOVE MUSIC! All types of vibrations but the genres that stand out to me are: Industrial, dark-wave, new-wave, nu-metal, synth pop, alternative, grunge, new romantic, ambient, experimental, indie, ethereal, punk, post-punk, metal, classic rock , jazz, ska, pop (specifically from the 80's)etc, etc (there's too much to list). Then there's opera, classical, show tunes, dance, disco, rave music (hehe, somehow I like the electronic music as well), the list will be endless if I don’t stop.

Movies:

There's too many to list; I am a BIG movie fan but directors I love are Stanley Kubrick, Roman Polanski, Jim Cameron, Baz Luthermann, Len Wiseman, Mel Gibson, Martin Scorsese, John Woo, Gus van Sant, Sofia Coppola, Quentin Tarantino, and A LOT more.

Television:

I sorta skip television (I dont know why) but when I do manage to catch some TV I like: Bad Girls Club, American Idol, Oprah, Tyra Banks, Project Runway, A&E, Discovery Channel, History Channel, Spike TV, Comedy Central, Cold Case Files, CNN, SNL, Fuse, MTV, VH1 (especially 80's flashback specials)

Books:

I'm also a BIG book lover, but one author in particular who has influenced me greatly is the one, the only: Anne Rice. I love all the great poets of our time. I love Shakespeare. All the artists that put so much into their work. Remember: pain makes great art.

Heroes:

Jesus, for his agonizing sacrifice. Troops willing to sacrifice their lives for our country. Those who fight for civil rights. My big sis Laura, for her courage. My Father. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". "Nothing in this life was given to me. I had to fight for everything I have".
