My Interests

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive." -Anais Nin


"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!" -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Expect people to be better than they are; it helps them to become better. But don't be dissapointed when they're not; it helps them to keep trying." -Merry Browne

"A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror." --Ken Keyes Jr

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." -Jack Kerouac

"Love is an exploding cigar we willingly smoke." -Lynda Barry

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities. -Dr. Seuss

"You desire to know the art of living, my friend? It is contained in one phrase: make use of suffering." -Henri-Fredric Amiel

"Authentic spirituality awakens the soul, reconnects us with the sacred, and fills us with the passion of life. Spiritual development is not about religious rituals and practices; it is about waking up to the wonder of life." --David N. Elkins

I'd like to meet:

Your Mom. No, seriously, I've got all the love a girl could ask for. But I'm sure your mom's still cool... probably not as cool as mine though.

Music:

ec.lec.tic. see for yourself:

Movies:

#1 - Footloose

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to reap, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn... and there IS... a time to dance!" -Ren McCormack (Kevin Bacon)

#2 - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

"Velcro. Next to the Walkman and Tab, it is the coolest invention of the 20th century." -Lynne Stone (Helen Hunt)

Television:

So You Think You Can Dance. And I think Pushing Daisies is freakin' adorable.

Books:

Are you kidding? Reading is bad for you. You should quit.

But if you INSIST... try "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle. They're delicious, nutritious, and transcendentalicious.

Heroes:

Easy ... that'd be my dad, for giving his own life to save my mom's in April '04 during a scuba diving accident. If that's not heroic, I don't know what is.

And our country's Armed Forces, out there gettin the job done. Go Amurrrrca!
