It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward

About Me

This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body. ~Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman

My Interests

Family, friends, laughing, DANCING! Doing my best to enjoy life, music, movies, books, people watching, taking pictures, being in pictures (I photograph much better than I actually look), traveling, swimming. I love comedians, especially those who educate while making people laugh. I love George Carlin, Robin Williams, Dane Cook, Eddie Izzard, Margaret Cho, David Cross, and the spoken word of Henry Rollins.
