About Me

aAbout me? Well, the line between who I think I am and who I really am seem to be blurred these days. And as I get older, I feel that I get even further away from that. Unless maybe I am not who I thought I was at all, maybe that was just who I wanted to be. The dreams that we have when we are younger somehow slip away, maybe because we forget or because they don't seem practical anymore. (A poet's salary can't pay the mortgage) But then again, where we end up may be where we were supposed to be all along. Without the deviations from the path I started out on, I may not have found true love and for that I am thankful!

My Interests

I absolutely love to cook, I think it is so relaxing and I get to express a certain amount of creativity while doing it. I also love to be outdoors, whether it is hiking or working in the yard, as long as I am breathing fresh air, I am happy. Poetry is a long lost love of mine.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

A little of everything.

Movies:

"Imagine you're a deea, you're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put ya little deea lips down to the cool clear water. BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off parta ya head, your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces, now I axe ya, would you give a fuck what kinda pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearin'??"

Television:

BB9!!

Books:

Eat, Pray, Love

Heroes:

My Daddy (RIP 10/17/04) I miss you!!
