Going to the river, writing, reading, photography, poetry, music, game nights, movies, scrapbooking, hanging out with friends, surfing the net, photo manipulation, playing pool, concerts & events...
The simple pleasures in life...
Kissing, the sun on my face, the wind in my hair, laughing, talking to a friend, watching the sunset, lazy afternoons, romantic evenings, riding my bike, having ice cream on a hot summer day, people watching, telling a successful joke, swimming, walking on the beach, hot bubble baths, chocolate ... this list could go on Forever.
... a hopeless romantic
If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
~ Nora Roberts
Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Hmm, gonna have to think about this one!
I've met who I was hoping to meet, and can say without a doubt that (in person) he is every bit as genuine, sweet, funny and absolutely gorgeous, as everyone says he is.
So really, since it's MYpage, I'm going to change it to
"Who I'd like to see again" ... ;)
"Thrill me. Please me. Surprise me. Give me everything I want, and nothing I need. Give me days to remember, and nights I'll never forget. Give me sexy. Give me you." ~ Victoria Secret models
Another favorite of Bucky & Rocky ~ Thanks, Kathy!
A very heartfelt "Thank you" to all the awesome photographers (aka fans, CB's, stalkers) who captured these awesome shots for me to "embellish" ... :)
Passion + Creativity + a touch of insanity =
Hi, Tracy!
Just got something fun in my email--a couple of the very kind ladies from the Fox boards thought Bucky might get a kick out of the CD covers, so they put them all together in a binder and a CD for him, and your beautiful "Living the Dream" blend was used for the cover. Looks like Bucky and I agree on how cool your art is--look at that smile!
Winnie (Buckymania)
Now I ask... How freakin COOL is that?? :)~
Thanks to my fellow Buckaneers... you rock!
Whoever borrowed my car ...
please return it by morning and there will be no questions asked.
oK, thanks. ;)
Give me anything rock from the 70's and 80's and I can probably sing along... :)
(I may not sing it well, and mess up a lyric or two... lol, but I know it)
Bucky's cd is doing great on the charts ~
Please keep requesting!
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
~Ludwig van Beethoven
Every once in awhile there is a movie that MUST be seen on the big screen to get the intended full effect, but one of my favorite things to do is browse the video store, or flip through the movie channels and cuddle on the couch to a good flick!
Tv ... it's the meaning of true RnR on a chilly Oregon night. (not to mention a good time to get my snuggle time with Jakester during Friday Night Lights and talk about his life in high school, which is "ONLY 4 years away" ya know? lol)
"Civilization rests on the fact that most people do the right thing most of the time." - Dean Koontz
My Heroes in life:
*Dear ol' Dad
For Everything he is.
*Jakester
For reminding me everyday what Life is about, teaching me how to be a Kid again, and for giving me the courage to strive for our Dreams.
Love you, Punkin xxxooo
Every single day, with every single breath I take, I am thankful for the people in my life. YOU, keep me "sane". (yeah ok, let's not go there! lol)

"If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, "you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty."
~Jeff Foxworthy
* My friends
For knowing the words of my song.
"A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails."
~Donna Roberts
*Myself
For never giving up.
On anything.
"The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground.

*People who know Love
Love is patient, love is kind.It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is an irresistible desire to be
irresistibly desired.
~ Robert Frost
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
"I've learned that leadership is a good thing, but every now and then you have to look behind you to make sure people are following you...
Otherwise, you're just taking a walk."

(aka, my boss)
We never truly appreciate the people in our lives until it's too late and they're gone. It's only then when we feel their absence that we realize what we've lost."

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.
Think big anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack if you help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the gate safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting:
"Holy shit ... what a ride!"
