I love to build stuff, though since I'm mostly broke, I mostly put together friends' and families' furniture and soon, I'm hoping to start on a dollhouse for my daughter. I also make dreamcatchers, and try to regularly update my blog at http://caffeinatedsoapbox.blogspot.com, though nowadays I'm double posting everything on here until people start looking at it regularly. I also love learning about different religions, psychology, medicine and child development.
Some other young, fun Mamas in the area to share experiences and advice, and to make my baby girl some new baby friends.
Your Brain's Pattern
Your mind is a firestorm - full of intensity and drama.
Your thoughts may seem scattered to you most of the time...
But they often seem strong and passionate to those around you.
You are a natural influencer. The thoughts you share are very powerful and persuading. What Pattern Is Your Brain?
Pretty much a little of everything. Cee-lo Gree, Kanye West, Three 6 Mafia, Yellowcard, Simple Plan, Usher, Pink Martini, Akon, Earth Wind & Fire, DJ Irene, all that Reggaeton stuff...
Godfather Trilogy, anything with Ed Norton or Johnny Depp in it, Goodfellas, Casino, all gangsta movies, American Beauty, and Finding Nemo. Saw, House of Sand and Fog, Crash, Taking Lives, Dot the I .... I've got hundreds of DVDs and I'm completely blanking out here..
Only shows I'll actually sit down for: The Sopranos, ER, OZ, Next Top Model, and House. I love House. I watch it with my Mercek, you can learn a lot that way, you know?
Fiction. I only read fiction now. See, college kinda messed up the whole non-fiction thing for me. Being forced to do anything kind of ruins the fun that I may have had doing it, so, that's what happened to non-fiction. I like mysteries, though I ususally figure them out pretty quickly. I like fiction based on true stuff, like The DaVinci Code, or The News from Paraguay, because then I can learn something and enjoy it at the same time. And I love books in a series, when there is massive amounts of character development and you can see that (fake) person's development and progression over time. Not to mention noticing how the writer changes and develops different styles and techniques over time too..And I love poetry, Rumi and Emerson are my favorites. Also been digging Wendell Berry lately, " A change of heart or of values without a practice is only another pointless luxury of a passively consumptive way of life." (In the Presence of Fear)I like reading people's opinions too, blogs and such (check mine out if you haven't yet, let me know what you think, or any ideas what you'd like to hear more on), but I abhor when people try to push their opinions on me. Like people who work on comission. Want to slap them. So I don't go for super-religious writing, besides the bible, though I'm not sure now if that would be fiction or non-fiction.... hmmm. I don't really go for politcial diatribes because I get bored listening to the same rhetoric over and over.Yeh, I like to read.
My brother Jeff, all the way. He's overcome so much bullshit to be an incredible person, and I admire him for not giving up when people said he would never amount to anything. He's super-cool, and the one person in the whole world that I know would risk everything for me. And I mean everything. He's proven it more than once.He's so smart and talented. he's one of those guys that everyone likes (until you piss him off, of course) one of the few naturally charismatic people I've met. And he is so generous, almost to a fault to be honest because he is so good at giving, its hard for him to receive. But he's got good taste too, and he'll go out and spend $300 in a night, on dinner, drinks, a club, whatever, and totally enjoy every second of it. Because he realizes that money is fleeting anyway, but time you can never get back, so which should you enjoy more? (ah, poetic, eh? I just made that up). Anyway, I don't have many friends like that so I always enjoy spending time with him.He's a gosh-dammned good chef too.
