"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined"

About Me

Just moved from Wisconsin to California!!! LOVE IT HERE but very much miss all of my friends :( Graduated from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point in May with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a minor in Spanish. Currently working at a clothing design company for the action sports industry.. can't wait til i get to start actually designing clothes!! entry level work just isn't letting me be creative enough... but i do love my job and everyone i work with! People are definetly different out here, but I'm looking forward to meeting new friends. If anyone in cali reads this.. and knows of any concerts coming up let me know!!! Interests: fashion, traveling, diet coke from mcdonalds, shopping, music, politics, family, random facts, love, hope, peace and life friends, falling in love, CALIFORNIA!, patron, vino and trying new restaurants. ****I love music and politics the most. Nothing beats jammin out/chillin out/rockin out/dancin out or having a heated debate. I am VERY LIBERAL ( My dad hates it) and i'm not afraid to speak my mind, but i'm also very open minded. (even though most people are very CLOSE minded and very IGNORANT. please see "i'd like to meet") ******FAVORITE MUSIC: Dave Matthews Band has my heart, other favs include: Nirvana, Weezer (blue cd, new cd isn't that bad either but none of that beverly hills stuff),Augustana,the spill canvas,jack's mannequin, britney spears,SLIGHTLY STOOPID YEAYEAYEA, Chromeo, saves the day,oasis, Ben Harper, jack johnson (when i'm in the mood), Green Day, Robert Randolph in the Family Band (makes me happy),also getting into hip hop, lupe fiasco new cd is amazing, and dare i say i actually bought the lil wayne cd?? and like it??, jason mraz, Amy winehouse (amazing songwriter hell ya), Warped Tour CD, most all classic rock! Led Zep, THE DOORS (i SWEAR jim morrison was my lover in another life), Jimmy hendrix, Janis (LOVE), Bob Marley (all of the marley's infact), Everyone who did a "all along the watchtower" cover pretty much , pink floyd (puts you in a trance). Also i love some house and electronic music. Gets you pumped up! **************** MOVIES: PS i love you is THE saddest movie i have EVER seen in my life. I want that kind of love!*************** Favorite Books: I am America and So Can You! By Stephen Colbert Favorite Quotes: ****************** Nine planets round the Sun, only one does the Sun embrace. Upon this watered one, so much we take for granted. - Dave Matthews Band, One Sweet World **********"I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real" and I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd"- the postal service********Real Eyes Realize Real Lies*********"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined" -Thoreau****************I have come to the realization that life is more than what I have accomplished. And life is more then the realization that we have accomplished nothing at all. True success is so selfless so drown in the lyrics of your life and give up the air that you breathe. You don't need anything. You don't need anything*******************Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, after reading an exerpt from Scott McKellen's book uncovering the Bush Administration's deception of the world and how they saw the war in Iraq as a way to create Bush's legacy: "OVER 5000 AMERICAN SOLDIERS, AND EVEN MORE IRAQIS, DEAD FOR BUSH'S GREATNESS. AS IF HE COULD SPELL GREATNESS" ******************************"The way I feel inside is, ..Come with me, I'd love to have you,' " he says. "That's true of every facet of my life. That's the option I'm giving to everybody. I haven't said it to anyone, but that's the way I'm feeling. In reference to people who listen to us, in reference to everything. Like, ..I'm going this way, and anybody who wants to come is absolutely welcome. But I'm going there with or without you" Dave Matthews 2001 ****&&&&&&&&&&&& amp;&&&&&&&&&********** I'm a leo and very proud of it!!peace and love xxxxxxxO ya FUCK THE WAR and FUCK GEORGE BUSH !!!!!!!!!!!!!! support the troops but fuck war!! PEACE IS THE ANSWER!ONE LOVE

Just felt like writing...

Thinking differently is a beautiful thing, but its so hard to figure out whose on your wavelength. Whose real and whose simply a visage, a figure of your imagination... Where'd all the good people go?...
