About Me

"as the morning gathers a rainbow, i want you to know; i'm a rainbow too" bob marley "it all boils down to one quotable phrase: if you love something, give it away" bright eyes "be kind to me, or treat me mean- i'll make the most of it. i'm an extraordinary machine." fiona "when i look around, i think this - this is good enough, and i try to laugh at whatever life brings. cause when i look down, i just miss all the good stuff, and when i look up, i just trip over things" ani difranco "when you move like a jellyfish, rhythm don't mean nothin. you go with the flow; you don't stop." jack johnson "just because i don't look like you or act like you, it doesn't make any better or worse." suicide machines "people say she's crazy, she got diamonds on the soles of her shoes." paul simon "our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. it is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us." nelson mandela "you'll be given love; all is taken care of. you'll be given love; you have to trust it. maybe not from the sources you have poured yours, maybe not from the direction you are staring at, twist your head around; its all around you. all is full of love, all around you." bjork "don't you know in god the beats we trust. we can shake it into a better shape. we got the power to shake it like an earthquake." sidestepper "may the wind take your troubles away. both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel. may the wind take your troubles away." sonvolt "i'm feelin' thankful for the small things today." cracker "i am ready. i am ready. i am fine." counting crows If there's anything I can say "about me" currently; it's that I'm still here and I'm happy. However, the past year and a half since leaving Los Angeles--I currently reside in the fab-ul-ass city of New Orleans--has been full of quite a few plot twists, if you will, some brilliant, some tragic, none regrettable. I owe huge apologies to those of you--yeah, you and I both know who "you" are--whom I have not kept in touch with. I was sort of in a larval stage of myself, and while that does not excuse my failure at friendship- it was warrented and the results are quite stunning. [Really, you should see me with my bright shiny wings!] But that's all water under the bridge, and I just want to move from the present. I moved to New Orleans a few weeks before Mardi Gras (Feb. if you don't know)and have been bartending at a nightclub on Bourbon St. I love bartending; it is a wonderful profession until I get my act together and begin taking over the world! My life lately has been about peeling back the bullshit-- most of which, I'm discovering, I've created myself-- and involving myself with situations and people I find true and beautiful. It's not easy, but my heart is at ease for the first time in quite some time. I live with two wonderful, big, stinky, dirty, hearts-of-gold boys: Shaun "Frenchy" French - my best friend and constant babysitter --he did not volunteer for this job..heheh, sorry French, and Rollins -not Henry- who is short, bald, and brilliantly angry at the world. The only thing bigger than Roly's brain and heart is his stomach--he ATE ALL THE CONDIMENTS IN THE HOUSE one night because we didn't have food, ya'll!! Who does that?!? Anyway, that's my life right now; it is subject to change in the next six months, but only for the better. I love love love all ya'll--fuck it I love you people I don't know yet too...unless you're mean. If you're a meany, liar, two-faced-backstabbing-weasel, bully, cheater, theif, playa hater, elitist-asshole-snob, bigot, homophobe, right wing zealot, or boogie man I probably do not love you--but will pray for you from a distance. Chu'ch!

I'd like to meet:

People fearlessly dedicated to their vision of a better world who believe in revolution, freedom (both mental and spiritual), and the power of their own voice. There are a few other people I'd like to meet: My grandmother when she was my age. I'd like to drink a martini with that Bitch and thank her for our family! Also, my sister said this first, but I found the idea fascinating. I'd like to meet myself in fifteen years. I pray I still have my childlike fascination with the little things in life, that my love affair with art and revolution still wake me up and make me feel alive, and that I am still as loved and loving as I am now. I would also like to shake the hands of Jim Henson, Shell Silverstein, Dr. Seuss, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Miriam Makeba, Gloria Steinem, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Paul Simon, Alan Ginsbourg, Jack Kerouac, William Bourroughs, Adam Duritz, Ani DiFranco, Adrienne Rich, Henry Rollins and Mitch Hedberg for changing the world and my perception of it.

Music:

Yeah, I do! f*ckinrocklikesatan! No seriously, I live, breathe, sleep, think, and devour music. There's a never ending tape deck in my head that plays constantly. So even if I'm not actively listening to something, I am forever zoning out in conversations because something that was just said reminds me of a song. If you know my dear dear friend Mikee Froebel you can ask him about this rare but serious side-effect!

Still Single and Right About Two Things

My fellow girlina,  Kymberly and I were discussing our somewhat disgusting romance lives and our rant went something like this:  *Sarah tops off both glasses of wine and flops onto bed. Take...
