In God I Trust...All Others Must Pay Cash

About Me

Baby Laughing...One of the cutest things I have ever seen!!
The Moment: Mateen Cleaves
One Of My Tattoos...Triquetra
Christian/Celtic Symbolism: The Triquetra represents the Holy Trinity: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The unbroken circle represents eternity. The interwoven nature of the symbol denotes the indivisibility and equality of the Holy Trinity. It symbolizes that the Holy Spirit is three beings of power, honor, and glory but is indivisibly one God.
Pagan/Wiccan/Goddess Symbolism: The Triquetra represents the threefold nature of the Goddess as virgin, mother and crone. It symbolizes life, death, and rebirth and the three forces of nature: earth, air, and water. The inner three circles represent the female element and fertility.
Want to know something about me that you can't figure out...just ask - but this explains mostly what I'm all about!
In a Word: Eccentric
Greatest Strengths: Altruistic, loyal, independent, intellectual, friendly.
Biggest Weakness: Aoof, tempermental, unpreditable, stubborn.
"To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."
Jimmy Valvano
Some people experience so much success in life that they take it for granted, expecting things to go their way automatically. When this results in an inflated ego that ignores patience and civility, arrogance is bred, and humility becomes a curriculum requirement.
"Integrity does not blow in the wind or change with the tide.
It is the inner image of your true self."
"In the end, each of us will be judged by our standard of life,
not by our standard of living, by our measure of giving,
not by our measure of wealth; by our simple goodness,
not by our seeming greatness."
"Never Tire of Loyalty and Kindness.
Hold These Virtues Tightly.
Write Them Deep Within Your Heart."
Being Deeply Loved
By Someone Gives You Strength;
Loving Someone Deeply
Gives You Courage.
Lao-Tzu
"The difference between a good day and a bad day isn't about what changes in your day. It's about what changes in you." CNN Anchor Soledad O'Brien


Don't leave just yet,
I want you by my side a little while longer
Stay, For outside the cold winds are blowing
Let me believe,
for a little while longer that you belong here,
with me Gazing far ahead,
you hear the winds whispering your name
You spread your tiny wings
that yesterday only barely carried you
I watch you vanishing behind the clouds
There awaits your adventure
You never, never were mine.
Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.
~Edgar Allan Poe


"Those who dream by day are aware of many things
which escape those who dream only by night."
~Edgar Allan Poe~

"HEAVEN CAN'T HELP IT IF YOU GO
FASTER THAN ANGELS FLY..."
"SOME SOULS ONLY KNOW ONE SPEED
FASTER THAN ANGELS FLY..."
"BULLETS CAN BLOW YOUR DREAMS AWAY
FASTER THAN ANGELS FLY..."

Beauty & The Beast ~ Catherine & Vincent: Though Lovers Be Lost, Love Shall Not
And Death Shall Have No Dominion by Dylan Thomas
And death shall have no dominion. Dead men naked they shall be one With the man in the wind and the west moon; When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone, They shall have stars at elbow and foot; Though they go mad they shall be sane, Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; Though lovers be lost love shall not; And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion. Under the windings of the sea They lying long shall not die windily; Twisting on racks when sinews give way, Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break; Faith in their hands shall snap in two, And the unicorn evils run them through; Split all ends up they shan't crack; And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion. No more may gulls cry at their ears Or waves break loud on the seashores; Where blew a flower may a flower no more Lift its head to the blows of the rain; Through they be mad and dead as nails, Heads of the characters hammer through daisies; Break in the sun till the sun breaks down, And death shall have no dominion.
