They say love will find you...doesn't that seem like a lot to assume.

About Me

My horoscope for my birthday, August 9th, 2007 - You aren't operating under any illusions now, yet strangely enough you're more optimistic than before. Part of your exuberance comes from the fact that you know what you are worth and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Don't lose faith, even if it's been a long, hard haul. Your destination is within reach. ~ my reply, "it's about freakin time"!*******Things I like: Laughter, kindness, thoughtfulness, caring, beauty, my neice and nephew. Music, live music, playing music. My wonderful family. These friends I have been blessed with, friends who help even when you don't know how to ask and understand you even when you're all chaotic and twirly.********Things I hate: Arrogance, hate, ignorance, cruelty, thoughtlessness, people who are self-serving, ugliness. George W. Bush (because he's arrogant and ignorant, never a good combination), people who are casually callous with others lives.*********Things I know: Exercise and diet do actually work. Self-discipline is not something you "have" it's something you work at. Change is constant and most of the time it constatnly sucks (do not call me bitter!). Music makes the world a better place, and sometimes it's the only thing that makes it bearable. Family is the most important thing; you can go home again and you probably should. Love is damn hard work, but you should do it anyway.********Things I do not know: Why Americans love to be ignorant and uninformed. Why it's so hard to read a newspaper. Why the newscasters on Fox don't burst into laughter (or flames) when they say, "Fair and Balanced". Why anyone pays to hear Britney Spears sing. Why I'm such a procrastinator. Why pepperoni pizza cannot be denied. Why he fell out of love. Why sprint has such crappy customer service. Why my parents are so damn nice to me.******Please note: Random people,if you think we know each other, or you're a friend of a friend, fine...but if I don't know you I probably wont add you, sorry. Band's, I understand the marketing aspect of this...let me give some of you a heads up however: I do not like most heavy metal or rap, stop trying, please...that is all, thank you******* I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
