About Me

Im to complicated for this little space... I'm 25, from Galveston Texas, but for now I am a bit of a transient. By trade I am a lighting designer...or at least aspire to be one. Im starting what might be the most challenging, but rewarding thing I have ever done. Graduate School at one of the most prestigious schools in the country. For the next 3 years I will sweat, bleed, and cry as I compete to become one of Americas next top lighting designers. Keep your fingers crossed! I've traveled all over the world while working on board cruise ships for Royal Caribbean Cruise lines, and I must say...it was an experience of a lifetime and I hope to do it again. It took me 24 years to fall in love...maybe when Im 48 it will happen again and actually work out...until then...Im a pescimist. I dont have a favorite color per say, I hate single ply toilet paper, I dont like wearing off brand shoes and my favorite jeans are Levis. On any given day Im probably wearing those Levis and a T-shirt. I grew up on an island so I love the ocean and wildlife. Im a fan of exotic animals, so if you ever pop into my house you might not only see my dog or cat or fish, but maybe a sugar glider, hedgehog, or a kinkajou..my next venture. My religous views are scrambled, I'm generally liberal, and if I could survive off Shipleys donuts without gaining 1 million pounds I would. I have many friends all over the world and I charish them and my family alot. I have been told that I have one of the best personalities anywhere, yet can't seem to ever come out on top of the things that I secretly want. I try to give everyone a second chance, and if I get a bad first impression of you it usually means your not a good person..cause I usually like everybody. I recently came to the realization that I cant save the world and that I will eventually have to let some of my friends fall thru the cracks and fail. That sucks. My Motto in life for the past few years.."No matter how bad it gets, just remember..it could always be worse."
