Getting to know Jesus more through learning how to sincerely love others. Now that's at the street level on terra firma, but out here on planet MySpace?... sincerity may shift-shape and appear to be no more than inquisitiveness. Nevertheless, there,s soooo-ho-ho much to learn! That’s a huge and (maybe) endless pursuit but, maybe if you're here out of curiosity or knee-jerking from my friend request maybe we'll get to know each other and we can both grow.
If you're a true revolutionary, (check the dictionary before raising your nubby little hands, kiddies… it’s not the art, it’s what’s behind it) stick around but, if you're part of the "I don't like you because you're not like me-crowd", keep it movin... I'll catch up to ya later if I need ya. But, then again that might be a moot point, hmmm?
Outside of the unwarranted cyber preliminaries, my interests vary but, they can range from working toward world travel to meeting, photographing and often creating my rendition of some of the most magnifiscent ordinary people to finding a way to be an artistic part of a movie production. Know what? Somehow deep inside, I think I'd settle for being one of those obnoxious extras that appear onscreen for a milisecond to wave to fam and friends.
Of course my most basic interest is selling my next piece of art to pay rent. Always interested in doing work for CD covers or illustrations for great childrens books. Wink. Wink. I guess I'll have to face, one day, the fact that flakes like me generally break into a cold sweat when trying to “properly†stuff this section(i.e. general interests)... we warble, flow, spill, jiggle, sway, bounce, melt, sparkle, crumble, stagnate, germinate, explode, implode, and generally grope around trying to find the way to sufficiently fill in this dreaded blank space. Hey, if Paul can write, "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?â€,(Romans 7) surely, I can hang in there and finish this saga. Until then, welcome, take your shoes off and stay a while. Not sure about the green fuzzy stuff in the frig so just rummage around til ya find something ya like,K?My grandmother's parents.
Edna's been away from this world since I was 16 and I still have dreams about her from time to time. Many who knew her called her Mama Cage (fam or friends). And those who knew her personally, understood they were in the presence of an extraordinary person when she was in the room. I can only imagine what her parents must have been like.
"Have We Been Introduced?"
Meet the two most important young women in my life. SouthStar and Intellexia!! Of course these are their ID names. If they wanna let you in on more... that's up to them. I figured I raised them to think for themselves. So, I know they'd like to make that decision,K?
Anyway, do me a huge favor and stop by their "hot-off-the-presses" page to help hook up their friends list. You may notice that their page doesn't let you in on what they're all about yet(that's coming). Well, even though they are totally individualistic, I can say that the genetics I've passed on to them play a tiny part in what kind of persons you can expect to encounter. Fair enough?
Now I could make it easy for you and just make the two pics you see here clickable but, hey, it's not like you can't click their profile pic in my friends list...hmmmm?

Nature Boy
Written By:

Lyrics:
There was a boy...
A very strange enchanted boy.
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea,
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he.
And then one day,
A magic day, he passed my way.
And while we spoke of many things,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me,
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return."
