About Me

I RECENTLY NARROWED DOWN MY FRIENDS LIST FROM OVER 550 PEOPLE TO THOSE WHO YOU CURRENTLY SEE LISTED FOR A REASON. CAN YOU REALLY BE "FRIENDS" WITH 550 PEOPLE? NO, YOU CAN'T. FRIENDS ARE PEOPLE YOU TALK TO, TAKE THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW OR HAVE KNOWN FOR AWHILE AND ARE MORE THAN JUST FACES ON YOUR LIST OR PAWNS IN THAT "LET'S SEE HOW MANY FRIENDS I CAN COLLECT" GAME. COME ON, HOW CAN YOU CONSIDER VAN HALEN, RASCAL FLATTS, PAMELA ANDERSON AND PEOPLE LIKE THAT FRIENDS UNLESS YOU PERSONALLY GET TO KNOW THEM? THOSE YOU WILL SEE ON MY LIST ARE ORDINARY PEOPLE WHOM I HAPPEN TO CONSIDER EXTRAORDINARY. YOU'LL SEE VERY FEW KNOWN MUSICIANS AND AN ACTOR OR TWO, BUT THEY'RE ON HERE FOR A REASON, NOT BECAUSE I ADD EVERYONE ON THE PLANET FOR THE HELL OF IT. THE INDEPENDENT ARTISTS ON MY PAGE ARE ALL REAL FRIENDS, I KNOW THEM ON AND OFFLINE, SO OF COURSE THEY'RE GONNA BE ON HERE. 99% OF MY LIST ARE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE BUILT FRIENDSHIPS WITH. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR MR. RIGHT ON HERE OR EVEN MR. RIGHT NOW. I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN KEEPING UP THOSE WHO REALLY VALUE FRIENDSHIP AND KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ONE NIGHTERS, A FREE LOUIS VUITTON PURSE, VIAGRA, AND NO, I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR WEBCAM. IF YOU FIND ME INTERESTING ENOUGH TO SEND A FRIENDS REQUEST TO, HOW ABOUT SENDING A MESSAGE WITH IT LETTING ME KNOW WHY YOU FIND ME SO INTERESTING AND WHY YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS. I WILL NOT HONOR BLIND FRIENDS REQUEST, I WILL DELETE THEM. I HAVE TAKEN OFF MY LIST ANYONE WHO IS NOT HONEST ABOUT WHO THEY ARE, HAVE SECRET AGENDAS FOR WANTING TO "BE MY FRIEND", THOSE WHO ASK PERSONAL QUESTIONS REGARDING MY FRIENDS, THOSE WHO CANNOT DISTINGUISH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING FRIENDS AND BEING AQUAINTANCES, THOSE WHO NEVER RESPOND TO MY CONTACTS OR THOSE WHO NEVER INITIATE CONTACT AND THOSE WHO ARE "TOO BUSY". IF YOU'RE HONEST, SINCERE AND A GOOD HEARTED PERSON WHO LIKES TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, BELIEVES IN THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP AND HAS A POSITIVE,OPEN MIND THEN DROP ME A LINE AND WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. OH,ONE MORE THING, I DON'T DO DRAMA, MARRIED MEN, MEN WHO AREN'T EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE, AND I DON'T DO RELATIONSHIP THERAPY SO IF YOU FIT INTO ANY OF THE ABOVE CATEGORIES, THANKS FOR CHECKING ME OUT BUT BETTER LUCK ON ANOTHER PROFILE.
I BELIEVE
IN MONOGAMY * THE GOLDEN RULE * THAT CHIVALRY ISN'T DEAD * TRUE LOVE AND ROMANCE STILL EXIST * MY HEART WILL ALWAYS LEAD ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION EVEN IF FORGOT THE MAP * THAT THE WORDS "I LOVE YOU" SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING * IN SPENDING TIME WITH THOSE THAT MEAN THE MOST TO ME AND MAKING SURE THEY KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE AND APPRECIATE THEM * IN DOING THINGS FOR OTHER PEOPLE WHEN I'D RATHER BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE * THAT KARMA REALLY IS A BITCH * TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK * HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY * THAT SINCERITY IS STILL INHERENTLY PRESENT IN EVERYONE * TRUST IS NECESSARY * COMMUNICATION IS IMPORTANT * THAT THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE * PRINCE CHARMING STILL EXISTS, EVEN IF IT IS ONLY IN THE PAGES OF A FAIRY TALE * THINGS THAT ARE FELT WITH THE HEART AREN'T NECESSARILY VISIBLE TO THE EYE * GOD MAY NOT GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT BUT HE WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED * WORDS ARE THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL BUT EYES ARE THE PATHWAY TO THE HEART * SOMETIMES THINGS HAVE TO FALL APART SO SOMETHING BETTER CAN FALL INTO PLACE * EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON * OJ DID IT * SHOES ARE OVERRATED * SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IS FALLING IN LOVE WITH MY SMILE AND THINKING ABOUT ME RIGHT NOW * LYRICS FROM THE HEART * HARD WORK NEVER HURT ANYONE * PEOPLE ARE BASICALLY GOOD HEARTED *
A FEW THINGS I LIKE:
THE WAY A HOT KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUT MELTS ON YOUR TONGUE * THE SMELL AFTER A GOOD, HARD RAIN * A GOOD HOCKEY FIGHT * LYRICS THAT WILL MAKE YOU CRY * A COLD BEER ON A HOT DAY * SLOW DEEP WET KISSES THAT BUCKLE YOUR KNEES AND MAKE YOU FEEL BUTTERFLIES * SUNSHINE ON MY FACE * A GOOD THUNDERSTORM WITH PLENTY OF NOISE * A GREAT JOKE * LAYING ON THE COUCH WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN AND LISTENING TO MY iPOD * HYSTERICAL FITS OF LAUGHTER * KISSES ON THE FOREHEAD * PLAYING WITH MY DOGS * JUST BEING JENNIFER * TRAVELING WHENEVER I CAN * DISNEY WORLD * ROLLER COASTERS * ACOUSTIC GUITAR * PEOPLE WATCHING * TULIPS AND ORCHIDS * ROAD TRIPS * SMILING * MEXICAN FOOD * PUPPY BREATH * HEAD BANGING METAL * HEARTFELT COUNTRY MUSIC * VEGAS BABY * SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE FROM THE 70'S, 80'S AND 90'S * THE BEACH * LONG RIDES TO NOWHERE IN PARTICULAR * FRU FRU DRINKS * A GOOD WORN OUT PAIR OF JEANS * BEING BAREFOOT * CONCERTS UNDER THE STARS * CRYING AT A GOOD MOVIE * MORE COWBELL * GULF COAST SEAFOOD * DANCING IN MY UNDERWEAR SINGING INTO A HAIRBRUSH *
Music defines who I am, my past, my present. It is the Soundtrack of my Life.
Although I've always been and will always be a fan of 80's metal and classic rock, I've really grown to love acoustic and country music over the past year. I've come to appreciate the hard work and sweat that goes into writing a really good song and have learned to really listen to the message the songwriter is trying to convey. I really don't suffer too much from MGD ("musical genre discrimination")as you can tell by my ever changing playlist, which rotates based on moods, who's pissed me off or who's made me smile. That's what music is all about and what I'm about.
Music not only consists of the beat and the melodies, but lyrics. Lyrics are the very soul of a song. They can bring out emotions you didn't realize were hiding inside of you. They can make you happy, they can make you sad, they can make you laugh and they can make you cry. Sometimes you just need to sit and get beyond the melody and just listen to what the song is saying.
I strongly support independent artists and the unsigned and undiscovered singer/songwriters. I will always do what I can to help them as they are the ones that give the true gift of music, the gift of themselves and the gift of what's in their heart. Music isn't a hobby to them, it's a passion and a way of life. How can you not support that? There is a small group of songwriters/friends that I am truly dedicated to and I'd love for you to get to know them as well. They're all on my friends list and they're all wonderful, talented people who mean the world to me and can sure use the support. Be sure to check out Mostly John (John Gregory and Marc Pierce), John Griffin, Jason Marks, Wendy Newcomer, Jerry Holthouse, Johanna Jacobsen,Paul Bogart, Bo Thomas, Jessica Brooks, Josh Pruno, Slamabama, Little Nashville, Lauren Lucas and Sharelle Quick. You'll be glad you did.

I CAN NEVER EVEN BEGIN TO MAKE ANYONE UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH TRUE, HONEST AND SINCERE FRIENDS MEAN TO ME. I MEAN FRIENDS WHO ARE THERE DAY IN DAY OUT, THROUGH GOOD AND BAD, THROUGH THICK AND THIN, NOT JUST WHEN THEY NEED YOU OR WHEN NOTHING BETTER IS GOING ON. YOU CAN NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE VALUE THAT FRIENDS BRING TO YOUR LIFE. I LOVE EVERY ONE OF THESE PEOPLE AND AM SO APPRECIATIVE FOR WHO THEY ARE AND FOR HOW SPECIAL THEY ARE TO ME. I LOVE ALL OF YA!

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears.
I will listen to you, and together we will search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain, nor the future with its untold stories.
I can only be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you.
I can only give you room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting.
I will cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.

I can only love you and be your friend.
