About Me


I am a thinker...I love all of my friends and my family...I LOVVVVVVVVE MUSIC!! (of all genres) I've been on the local music scene since December 2007, when I began helping the former band, As Long As Today, with booking, among other things. I absolutely love helping talented, deserving bands/musicians succeed and am currently in the process of devising a business plan for a nonprofit that will promote and assist local musicians/bands...more details to come soon! I'm also still working on learning to play guitar, and am writing songs when the mood strikes me :) LOVE to go out and dance...especially latin--salsa, merengue, y bachata :) I LOVE the French language, especially when at a classy, chic cafe in Paris, France...Je l'aime!! In everything I do, I'm genuine, and give it my all...
And here are a few things I live by...
Pursue what you need at the core so that your true happiness can then affect those that you have influence over; otherwise, your unhappiness will filter out and this is unacceptable...
Vision without action is a daydream...Action without vision is a nightmare...
People are driven by their perceptions...something they deem "the truth"...the reality of it all is, however, that we all have our own perceptions, driven by our own experiences and opinions, and, thus, our own truths...remember this when trying to understand the world and others...(this is my own theory...feel free to debate with me...I love an educated, intelligible retort :) )

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Those who are strong, independent, and ambitious...and wonderful musicians, of course :)

Living My Song

I've long thought I'd like to live in a song...to be caught in the few moments of happiness that catch in my ears, and flow to my eyes, my hands, my mouth, my feet...my everything.  A good friend...
