About Me

MySpace Layouts

I am a nomad with a gypsy heart. I want to help others. My passion is for those who are less fortunate than I am. I want to feed the world. I want to build houses for everyone who is homeless. My future is uncertain. I wish it wasn't. I wish I knew what to do next year. Or five years from now. But that is my life. A blank page waiting to be written on. A book waiting to be opened. A canvas waiting to be filled with color. A lump of clay waiting to be molded into something beautiful and useful. It doesn't matter who I am. Instead, it matters what I do.

My Interests

Bowling. Reading. Swinging in the park. Running free in the meadow. Learning new things. Baseball. Airplanes. People-Watching.

Music:

I listen to all types of music except for jazz. I've never really cared for jazz. My current favorite songs include: Runaway Love. You Had A Bad Day. Scars. If Everyone Cared. We Are The Champions. Hey There Delilah. Big Girls Don't Cry.

Movies:

Invisible Children. The Princess Bride. Pirates of the Carribean. Sybil. Girl, Interrupted. Garden State. Savannah Smiles. Mulan. Castle in the Sky. Angels in the Outfield.

Television:

I think I watch too much television. CSI. Law and Order. Gilmore Girls. House.

Books:

I'm currently reading Blue Like Jazz, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Siddhartha, Walden, and the Communist Manifesto. War and Peace. Les Miserables. The Boy who Cried Abba. Metamorphosis.

Heroes:

All who have the courage to take the narrow way. To go their own way, away from the crowd. To follow their dreams. To live like there's no tomorrow.
