Kandy Kakes - GGRD

Still #1 in the East...

About Me

"Failure is not my Destiny." --Eric M. ............................................I love old cars (drive a '63 Impala Wagon with air suspension). I LOVE MMA!!! I have a deep respect for other athletes, and those guys/gals are true athletes, plus I grew up watching it with my dad (usually on VHS). I skate with GOTHAM GIRLS ROLLER DERBY (GGRD NYC) www.gothamgirlsrollerderby.com, on the most AWESOME team in the universe, Undefeated 2007 GGRD Champions BRONX GRIDLOCK and on GGRD All-Star Travel Team (#2 in the Country, # 1 in the EAST).I'm a motivational leader as well as a "mother" to the girls on my team. I believe there must be passion & love of sport in order to succeed, as well as support from those around you. And I love humor! I love to laugh and make people laugh. I am an entertainer and an athlete.

My Interests

Muay thai!!! Throwing knees! Skating, hitting and making people think that cause they're bigger than me, they can win... The art of underestimation. And anything that may be fun or adventurous! Did I mention throwing knees? Just ask my instructor (http://www.sitangymny.com/Home.html). Hahaha!

I'd like to meet:

The person who has the cure-all for allergy season... And the digital wonder, "Lil' Suzy Hot-Kakes".

Music:

Lots! I LOVE to dance.

Movies:

Favorite movie of all time, Shawshank Redemption

I have chronic ants in the pants so there's not too much tv watching except UFC, WEC, and some forensic shows.

Books:

"A Fighter's Heart" by Sam Sheridan, Stephen King, Kafka, Borges.

Heroes:

My Pap-pap. I miss him but I keep him with me at all times (tattooed on my inner bicep by Shane O'Neill - http://www.shaneoneilltattoos.com/ ), safe & close to my heart. Thanks Shane!
