What it is...

About Me

Well I’m definitely far from where I was a year ago… in a lot of ways. I’ve lost a ton of weight (45 lbs to be exact :-p) and I definitely have a good grip on where my life is going. Over the last couple of years I’ve struggled with defining myself and what I expected out of myself. Now I’ve come to realize that holding onto my past idealistic hopes only kept me in a bind to something that I couldn’t get past from. I’ve learned that believing in myself and knowing that I’m capable of a better life will lead me to the right path. So here I am, going back to school to continue my long-awaited education… going back to a job where I felt I prematurely left… and taking a new step into a whole new world. I don’t know where my life will be the next time I update this but I’m already looking forward to it… and that’s just a lil about me… I like going out every now and then for dinner, movies, clubs, bars… but essentially a great conversation goes a long way… so feel free to start one up ;-)

My Interests

Well as you can probably tell by my televison interests… I love the fashion and modeling world. Though I would probably be the last person to ever really know my way around a closet I just find them fascinating… and I guess I’m into a lot of pop culture so I always love reading about celebs and their ventures heheheh…... width="425" height="350" ....

I'd like to meet:

Someone with a great sense of humor… nothing sexier than someone who knows how to share a good chuckle… someone who can be open-minded, knows how to enjoy the presence of a good bad/moment… and someone who can keep up a good conversation like a good marathon lol…. All in all I guess I would just like to meet someone who can be good company :-)

My thoughts at 12:15 AM 7/31/05

Not every decision that we make is good... Not every choice we have is fair... But we should learn, and that's all that is important. But what if we never know what to do? What if we "go with our inst...
