maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me, and afterall you're my wonderwall.

About Me


there's no place like home.

After 20 years I have learned to value character above all things. I just want to be a good person, but who's to say what that means? I'm far from perfect so keep me off a pedistool, and if you don't expect too much from me you might not be let down. I promise you I'm doing the best I can but I'm only human and I can bleed as well as anyone. I think people, myself included, too often forget not to throw stones while living in a glass house. Remember to be kind, everyone is dealing with something difficult and until you've walked a day in someone else's shoes, supress your criticism. No one is flawless.
the glass is half full, the glass is half full, the glass is half full.
"I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited." -Sylvia Plath (she said it best.)
