Come fly with me, above the clouds.

About Me

I love shaggy intellectuals.I am finding it harder and harder to pay attention to the news these days. It is too depressing. I read (in a newspaper no less)that people who don't watch the news or read the newspaper are 35% less depressed than those who do. That was a few years ago too, so think how much more depressed those of us who pay attention must be at this point!

My Interests

Being a good mommy, getting a Bachelor's degree at some point in my life, healing my inner demons, alleviating back pain, making more money, singing, playing the tambourine, painting, drawing, helping people

I'd like to meet:

your momma.

Really?

Someone recently told me that Dana and I lead "public lives." This was interesting to me because I've never thought so. I guess I am 'public' on MySpace to an extent, but not everyone in the world is ...

Beauty is as beauty does...

Is a woman who does not know she is beautiful more beautiful than one who knows she is? Young beautiful girls don't always have the self-awareness or self-confidence to even realize how beautiful they...
