About Me


Get this Layout

OK, THIS IS WHAT I THINK...I am about to embark yet another phase of my life. I have grown into my own. It took years of being the shy kid, to the dorky teenager, to the party animal. I feel like I have grown physically, mentally, spiritually, and thensome. I love social interactions, raspberries and radishes. I am overweight, underpaid, and in debt. I love my dog, and passionate about trying to make positive decisions in my life and making people smile. I will do anything for you, as long as you are grateful in return. I long to love, live to die, and hope one day to be better than I am. "There are eight essential things you need in life: Strength, Courage, Wisdom, Peace, Calm, Joy and Love. Strength to get up every morning, Courage to face the challenges thrown our way, Wisdom to realize that it's not always in our control, Peace within and with those around us, Calm to have a clear mind, Joy to see the good in life and most importantly of all Love - love for those we know closely, those we know at a distance, and those we're yet to meet."

My Interests

Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.

Movies:

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget then as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” --Emerson

Books:

THE OAK TREEA mighty wind blew night and day. It stole the Oak tree’s leaves away; Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark, Until the Oak was tired and stark. But still the Oak tree held its ground; While other trees fell all around.The weary wind gave up and spoke: “How can you still be standing, Oak?”The Oak tree said, “I know that you Can break each branch of mine in two; Carry every leaf away; Shake my limbs and make me sway. But I have roots stretched in the earth, Growing stronger since my birth. You’ll never touch them for you see, They are the deepest part of me. Until today I wasn’t sure, Of just how much I could endure. But now I’ve found, with thanks to you, I’m stronger than I ever knew.”

I destroy homes  I tear families apart... I take your honesty and that's just a start. I'm more valued than diamonds, more precious than gold. The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold. If you need me...
