About Me

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~ Maya Angelou--------
So I figured an update is in order… been awhile since I updated this thing (but some stuff will never change). Let’s start the ranting.. Still getting my tan under the fabulous Hawaiian sun and loving every minute my skin touches the sand.. I think my new passion is surfing, but that’s still tbd until I totally wipe out and only then do I hope I get back on and add the bruise to one of life’s rides.. Music is the love of my soul (well not the love, but pretty darn close, especially all forms of British rock). People who trust their gut and just go with it have my respect. Surrounding myself with laughter has got to be one of the best feelings ever when shared with friends.. Been independent since forever and I get totally excited when I get packages in the mail that are unexpected..
I've accomplished what I've set out for myself thus far in life as far as school, career, and even modeling goes which I never thought I would do. My day job is as an Auditor and most people are surprised by it.. I think it's important to have an education and continue learning everyday. I have a few more goals that will keep me antsy until I finish them. I think we all have to believe in ourselves and physically see ourselves overcome obstacles.. having hope, faith, and determination and passion in whatever we do.
My theory is that my Dad has his Masters and pondering getting his Doctorate, so I figure you should always try and exceed your parents.. they set the bar, so if you do better than them, you're better off than they were and so on and so on.. Family becomes more successful and educated as the generations continue.
I don't like putting up with lame BS, douche bags, and shady people in general, so stay away from me if you have been called any of the previous.. it takes a lot to annoy me, so if you get on my nerves, something is obviously wrong.. So what I'm basically saying, is don't be a loser... ha! Moral of the story is that it's always good to have positive people around you whose personalities emit radiance onto your own..
Dirty martini’s with extra olives make me smile ear to ear, food in general, I’m a huge fan.. to name a fav -- sushi all the way and sashimi, even better!! Cookies or dessert in general won’t last long around me.. I’ve been known to down whole Birthday cakes not meant for me.. So watch your chocolate if I’m nearby.. This heavily includes chocolate covered gummy bears.. On a healthier note, raw almonds are lush as well..
I run errands wearing stilettos because they just make you feel pretty and tall.. I hang around Waikiki with some fabulous friends that are amazing, so you should say hi if you see us rollin’ around making fun of crazy tourists.. Don’t fall victim to the fanny pack while on vacation and the ever so popular pulled up socks with tennis shoes, cargo shorts, T-shirt that says I heart Hawaii, and mesh trucker hat..
I enjoy seeking out Irish bars probably because I’m half but wouldn’t know it unless I told you.. But one of my fav moments is watching a DVD at home curled up on a couch with oversized pillows and blankets.. popcorn with extra butter is a necessity… Scary movies are a must so if you can’t hang, we can’t be friends.. well, that’s not true, but I crave that adrenaline feeling when watching a good horror flick..
My mouth waters when I think about Zen iced green tea from Starbucks along with girly convos, road trips with a million songs lined up, going on vacations and being in foreign countries make my heart go crazy (I freak out if I'm not on a plane every month to some crazy destination), and staring at the stars whenever I get the chance to take a break from life and breathe..

My Interests

Miss Maxim Hawaii 2007!

Midweek Photo at the Beautiful Party with my beautiful friends...

Hanging with my Dad in Waikiki:

I roll with amazing friends:

Model Photo Op... (Give me bitchy)

Hawaii's socialites stay in contact with attitude and sass:

Road Trips.. Sara and I on our way to California.. This is how WE do it (We both have ADD - not really - but literally 2 days after New Year's we found ourselves driving from Vegas to LaLa land because we wanted a change of scenery):
So a bunch of the girls got together to celebrate Jessica and Renee's Birthday party themed "Pretty in Pink" at the fabulous Hau Tree Lanai Restaurant.. We are not shy girls.. We are dubbed, Hawaii's socialites.. All right, so don't laugh, but I did this thing for GrindTV (www.grindtv.com) and basically it's me prancing around in a bikini on the North Shore.. Check check check it outtttt:

I'd like to meet:



If you can make me laugh, let's talk, unless you're creepy or a compulsive liar.. dirty rocker boys a must...

True and genuine people:

Check my youtube: http://www.youtube.com/bpatton03
ANOTHER VIDEO!!! My brother aka Richard aka Ricky and I decided to combine our dance forces...
Our rendition of Night at the Roxbury followed by a must see escalator catwalk show in the streets of Waikiki:

Music:

The Killers, love love love the Stereophonics.. can't get enough of them, particularly their Word Gets Around CD circa 1997, Franz Ferdinand, The Libertines, Modest Mouse, Kelly Clarkson, 50 Cent, Anberlin, Timbaland (when I wanna shake my booty), Norah Jones, Augustana, Green Day (always have and always will), The Bravery, Gwen Stefani, Britney (I'm such a sucker for her dancey songs), Bloc Party, Weezer, Death Cab for Cutie, Razorlight, Arcade Fire, Oasis, Nelly Furtado, JT, Fergie, John Mayer, Paolo Nutini, James Morrison, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, Sugababes etc. etc. ...lots of indie type sounding tunes; all the british rock stuff...I have a bad habit where I hear a song once and I have to immediately go out and buy the entire album without knowing anything about it....

You're never lost if you have a good song to listen to...

This is my picture hanging in the super secret VIP concert venue known as The Roadrunner Hall aka The Hall.. rockstars play next to my face:

Movies:

Geez, there's so many and I know I'll get crap for the ones I like...but here it goes...Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Pearl Harbor, Mean Girls, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, 13 Going on 30, Say Anything, Something the Lord Made, ummm, Office Space, Love Actually, Pretty in Pink, Serendipity, 10 Things I Hate About You, Down To You, Amelie, The Holiday and too many others....I absolutely love Scary Movies...can't get enough of them.. Oh and any that consist of the normal comedic guys such as Will Ferrel, Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson.. you get it..

Television:

So I don't watch nearly as much TV as I used to, especially since I don't get the CW network on cable.. lame! But I do like watching Desperate Housewives, Nip/Tuck, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, and I actually like Cold Case...most of the HBO dramas, i.e. Sopranos and Entourage..kinda sad Sex and the City is gone...hoping for a reunion show.

Books:

Sometimes I'm famous and on newsstands (Barnes and Noble):

I have this guilty pleasure of reading chick lits...absolutely nothing wrong with it...Currently reading an autobiography about a real life Geisha...

Heroes:

The 'rents are at the top of my priority list...love them...without them I'd be lost in this crazy world.

Princess Diana - for her elegance and class, Maya Angelou - she has an amazing way of putting words into feelings and meaning, Shakespeare - for his great works of literature and putting romance in our lives, and for all the musical greats before our time that give us harmony and freedom in a great song; that inspires those to continue writing and playing amazing music...

Douche bags are the villains... Because I'm their arch nemesis..
