About Me

In a nutshell: I love people, and I love being happy. I have a lot of great friends in my life that absolutely make my heart beat. Somehow, I've been lucky enough to recently find ways to inspire myself to be positive, seek out things that are beautiful, and to have pride in the things that I do with my life. Every day brings a new challenge, but at the same time, I feel content and settled.

Things I love: sushi, cheesecake, good friends, pleasant suprises, blue skies, the feeling I get in my stomach when I drive up to the drop zone, epiphanies, closure, and motivation.

Things I hate: Drama, religious or political discussions, ignorance, arrogance, loved ones being self-destructive, DFW traffic, mean people, mean people who don't realize that I could be the one taking care of them one day, bad memories, coconut, liars, and cowards.

My Interests

SKYDIVING!!, working out, painting, reading, learning as much as possible, being around true friends, learning about new people, fishing, shootin' guns (stereotypical Texan... I know), ice cream, concerts, museums, shopping, going to clubs/bars/whatever, traveling, road trips, laying around on beaches all day, volleyball, cooking, trying new things, competing, etc, etc.....

I'd like to meet:



While I'm not actually on myspace to meet people, the people that I am generally taken to are of the following sort:
All-balls-to-the-wall, hard-core, loyal, genuine, honest people.....those are my kind of people. I hate drama and being lied to. Sometimes, that requires you to be brutally honest. Sometimes, that requires you to just hold someone while they cry. Simply put, I'm into good people. I love meeting new people, especially ones who can carry an intellectual conversation. Fake or insecure individuals only end up being selfish and devious, and I can totally see through them anyway....that's just no fun at all.

giving up doesn't seem so bad

When people ask me how I am, I answer politely that I am "just fine", etc. Maybe, I'm just a brat. Maybe, I'm not being positive enough. I don't know. But, two weeks into a twelve week healing process...

a passage from my favorite book...

But the bravest man amongst us is afraid of himself. The mutilation of the savage has its tragic survival in the self-denial that mars our lives. We are punished for our refusals. Every impulse that w...
