About Me


Add Glitter to your Photos
Layout by: THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT TO ME IN THIS LIFE THAN GOD AND THE LOVE AND HAPPINESS OF MY DAUGHTER!!!!!I am a socializer. I am people-focused, open & direct. I am confident, have a wild side (I keep that locked away but occassionally it gets out) & I have been told I am somewhat aggressive. I am spontaneous. I am not concerned with facts and details and I try to avoid them as much as possible. I am enthusiastic & perrsuasive. I am a natural "brainstormer" and tend to generate fresh ideas as quickly as possible. I generally get involved in too many things at one time. I am impatient and have a short attention span. I get bored easily.I am emotional and I experience feelings with great intensity. I am spiritual; I view the world as an ultimate mystery rather than as a mechanized machine; I view life as meaningful rather than meaningless; I view life as a lesson in gratitude; I realize that mind, body, and soul are all gifts of God; I acknowledge life's mysteries, even the questions that have no answers; I trust in the goodness of life and all the potential that it implies; I always hope and never succumb to despair; I strive for goodness, not things--to believe that honesty, integrity and dignity matter more than anything else; I entail the belief that every person carries with them the special signature of God.
Graphics & Layouts
You Are the Ego
You take a balanced approach to your life.
You definitely aren't afraid to act out on your desires - even crazy ones.
But you usually think first. Morals drive you as much as hedonism does.
You've been able to live a life of pleasure... without living a life of excess. Are You Id, Ego, or Superego?

My Interests

Archeology, history, religious studies, I love the outdoors, anything water related. I like to camp, swim, hike, ride motorcycles, cook, entertain, spend time w/ family & friends. I love the ocean & warm summer nights.....sitting by a campfire drinking Coors Light & getting lost in deep conversation. I love wine tastings, opera, ballet, classical music, the arts, museums,etc. I love to learn & become educated about many new topics.
You Need Some Black in Your Life
Black will make you feel powerful, in control, and not bound to what other people think of you.
And with a little black, you will project a aura of mystery, rebellion, and dominance.
If you want people to respect you, you've got to get a little black in your life!

For extra punch: Combine black with orange or red

The downside of black: People won't be able to "read" you - and may perceive you as more aggressive than you actually are

The consequences of more black in your life:

You'll become a figure of intrigue and speculation
You'll be better prepared for life's unknown path
You'll rest better and free yourself of expectations What Color Do You Need?
Your Love Is Represented By a Red Rose
You love passionately and fully, without any reservations.
And while romantic love comes easily for you, you also love many people platonically.
You are a true romantic, and you always can see the best in people. What Rose Represents Your Love?

I'd like to meet:

ANYONE WHO IS SPIRITUAL, COMPASSIONATE, LOVING & KIND.

Music:

ALL GENRES, SOME OF MY FAVORITES INCLUDE PRINCE, CYNDI LAUPER, MADONNA, BON JOVI, METALLICA, GUNS N ROSES, OZZY OSBOURNE, CHERYL CROWE, ANY MANY MORE.
You Are Balanced - Skeptic - Empowered
You feel your life is controlled both externally and internally.
You have a good sense of what you can control and what you should let go.
Depending on the situation, you sometimes try to exert more control.
Other times, you accept things for what they are and go with the flow.

You are a total skeptic when it comes to luck.
You believe that people use luck as a crutch to avoid responsibility.
You control your own destiny. The universe has nothing to do with it.
You believe everything can be explained - and you tend to over analyze situations.

You have a good deal of power, but you also know the pecking order.
You realize that working the system does get you further.
You know who to defer to and who to control.
When it comes to the game of life, you play things flawlessly. The Three Dimension Luck and Power Test

I LOVE JOHNNY DEPP~! GERARD BUTLER ISN'T BAD EITHER!
You Are a Liberal for Life
You've got a bleeding heart - and you're proud of it.
For you, liberal means being compassionate, pro-government, and anti-business.
You believe in equality for every person, and you consider yourself universally empathetic.
Helping others is not just political for you ... it's very personal too. What's Your Political Persuasion? /

Television:

SURVIVOR, AMERICAN IDOL, HOUSE, RACHEL RAY, & THE DOG WHISPERER. ANYTHING ON HGTV.
You Are a Good Friend Because You're Honest
Like it or not, your friends are going to hear the truth from you.
You know that the truth hurts, but living a life of lies is much worse.
So while you're definitely kind and supportive, you don't pull any punches with your friends.
Everyone knows where they stand with you. And what you like and dislike about them.
While some may be initially turned off by your honesty, your friends have come to consider it a virtue.
After all, in world of white lies and deceptive politeness, you can be counted on for honesty and integrity.
Your friends need you most when: They need good advice or an intelligent opinion
You really can't be friends with: Needy, emotional people
Your friendship quote: "True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance." What Makes You a Good Friend?

Books:

THE BIBLE~
Your Power Bird is a Dove
Deep and emotional, you can connect well with almost any living creature.
You bring hope and optimism to any dire situation.
You are both gentle and affectionate with everyone you love.
Truly nurturing, most people consider you to be a mother figure. What's Your Power Bird?

Heroes:

JESUS CHRIST~
Your Power Element is Water
Your power colors: blue and aqua

Your energy: deep

Your season: winter

Like the ocean, you evoke deep feelings and passion.
You have an emotional, sensitive, and spiritual soul.
A bit mysterious, you tend to be quiet when you are working out a problem.
You need your alone time, so that you can think and dream. What's Your Power Element?
