I wish I could laugh... but that joke isn't funny anymore.

About Me


"I get up every morning determined to both
change the world and have one hell of a good time.
Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult."
- E.B. White

The insane keep me sane:
Welcome to me: I'm a photographer. Not quite LIFE material nor big name industry pro, but hoping to one day reach that calibre. I'm working on it!
Further dissection of self: Yes, I do think I'm pretty funny... what? ~*~ A little over-the-top sarcastic ~*~ Easy to get along with ~*~ Always approachable no matter what kind of mood I'm in... but don't ask my siblings ~*~ I'm a DORK and can laugh at myself ~*~ Open to new things... sometimes ~*~ Get me to smile and laugh, and you'll make my day ~*~ I think selfishness is a waste. I honestly believe that living with concern only for yourself is a shallow existence. ~*~ I like surrounding myself with people I love, that love me back ~*~ I try not to swear, but when I do I swear ALL THE WAY ~*~ I find that quite amusing most of the time ~*~ I love Ireland, its people, and its culture ~*~ Proud of MY culture ~*~ Run my own business ~*~ I love photographs, but hate ones of myself ~*~ Love to sing, but suck at it ~*~ Fairly artistic ~*~ Passionate mind-set ~*~ Hate drama... try to avoid it ~*~ Insomniac ~*~ Day dreamer ~*~ Optimist ~*~ Pianist ~*~ Devout music lover ~*~ Anti-negativity ~*~ Pro-helping others ~*~ Intense listener ~*~ Willing advisor ~*~ Faithful to God ~*~ Deep thinker ~*~ Family first ~*~ Your best friend.
Nothing splendid has ever been achieved
except by those who dared believe that something
inside them was superior to circumstance.
- Bruce Barton

Never fear big long words.
Big long words mean little things.
All big things have little names,
Such as life and death, peace and war,
Or dawn, day, night, hope, love, home.
Learn to use little words in a big way.
It is hard to do,
But they say what you mean.
When you don't know what you mean,
Use big words--
That often fools little people.
- Arthur Kudner

My Interests

"In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration."
- Ansel Adams


I film, but am no filmmaker. I’m a lost pianist finding her way back. I’m an amateur photographer caught in a professional network (I am blessed). My favorite color is not due to Ireland nor aliens… tis just coincidence! I think The Tea Leaf sounds cooler than The Coffee Bean. Concerts and band gigs are my cup of tea. Yes, I have a thang for tea. That Dane Cook is a silly bitch. I have rediscovered my place in SGYM. I am currently rediscovering my creativity. I am one half of Rob Schneider. I am the nerdy chipmunk. I am someone’s son. I’m a loyal member of the PPG. Contrary to lack of discussion, Janet is looking for Steve. I miss directing, and bossing around a crew of men who were mostly older than me. Power is addictive. I miss being a boss everyone liked. Power is rewarding if you use it well. Listen when they want to be heard. They will listen to you in return.

I'd like to meet:

Happy people.
Funny people.
Inspirational people.
Good people.
Robbie Williams.
Yo momma. =)
