About Me

Aspire! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Drive a hybrid!- I do. I love roller coasters,music, cereal, oh and smoothies. I am addicted to cycling/spinning at Ballys or anywhere I can get in on a class in all my copious spare time. I do love my job, I work as a wedding deejay and a photographer and a manager of photographers, deejays and videographers (the pros.com) I do alot of weddings and concerts and I used to work for an awesome radio station in DC----Z104.1, until it went off the air sadly in January 2006. Looking for a cool new station in NOLA to work with. I guess with first impressions though, you'd probably see my smile, curly hair and hear me laugh, atleast that's what I am told. I get razzed about my laugh a lot. It's pretty easy for me to guess this because I try always be smiling and laughing, life is more fun that way. Basically I just like to have fun! i am crunchy granola, without the hairy legs. i recycle, drink water and eat music. music feeds my soul. i live in the city and although i love the outdoors, i love the city too, there's always something to do. and i am perpetually in motion, it's hard for me to sit still, if i am not productive, i'm not happy. i like meeting people that don't suck. i smile at strangers and work alot. if the music's good i will dance for you, if you're fun, then maybe with you. I do have a piercing you could try and find. I have a lot of love to give, but want alot in return. there are few things i need for survival: music, my camera, friends, love and slurpees!!! oh and sunshine, lots of sunshine!!!! PS my mom is dealing with breast cancer, so i am going to be living with her in new orleans for an indefinite amount of time.

My Interests

I take a good picture from time to time. But all I really need is MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC. The Rock Boat.com. Going to concerts keeps me alive. I really love finding new bands and new sounds. I think I like snowboarding, but I just started, so we'll see.......I love to go Dancing, it reminds my why I am alive. Want try surfing now that i am a cali girl, but i enjoy any activity- Swimming. Biking. Volleyball. Tennis. Laughing. And i guess what i get paid to do, photography!!!!! I love that i can say that i get paid to do what i love and got my degree in. I also think artistic, musical, nice people are groovy

I'd like to meet:

Fun and Honest people! --- so,therefore you must try your best to be Responsible, Self Sufficient, Open minded, Open hearted, Mostly Intelligent, Reliable, Honest, FUNNY, love roller coasters, live music, Entertaining, Giving, Ambitious. It's always good to have a goal, you know? I'd like to also meet Paul McCartney. Jimmy Hendrix. Bill Clinton. Howard Dean. John Mayer. Jim Henson. Walt Disney. Ani Difranco. You can find me on AIM- am buelar ..

Music:

Everything....really, I mean it. Everything, even musicals, broadway. From Classical, Reggae, Southern Rock, Classic Rock, Punk Rock, swing, big band, jazz, pop, as long as its real and its fun ( ahh, the Beautiful People) I listen to it all. What's in my CD player now, you ask?the Beastie Boys, Tim Armstrong, Bob Marley Live, Citizen Cope, Harry Connick, Beatles, September Sessions,John Mayer, the Aggrolites, Maroon 5's latest rocks old school style and it'll most likley change before I go to bed. And i always hold a special place in my heart for any artist who is/was on the Rock Boat(check out therockboat.com)!!! and I am not currently addicted to anything right now other than cool new music to satisfy my soul. I love,LOVE,LOVE going to concerts and it's an especially keen thing to discover new talent! Are you "New Talent"? *wink*

Movies:

Garden State, Almost Famous, Go, High Fidelity, Rent,Pirates of the Carribean, Star Wars Episodes IV,V and VI. Some Like it Hot (Marilyn Monroe style). The Police:Everyone Stares, Thicker Than Water, The September Sessions, A Brokedown Melody, Dogma and 'good ole' scary movies, like Nightmare on Elmstreet and yes, even Harry Potter, if only he were a little bit older, i just dig that toughed up hair look.......anyway the new Dawn of the Dead was good. I like alot of independent films, Sundance Films ( most of the time) I like movies that leave a mark, a thought or a warm fuzzy feeling.

Television:

Grey's Anatomy,6 Feet Under,Entourage, That 70's Show, Scrubs,Weeds,Brothers and Sisters ........ other than that? T.V. is mindless, well other than The National Geographic Channel or History Channel. I mostly get my TV on DVD.

Books:

I have a short attention span, I start lots of books at one time and pick through the good stuff. The History of Rock and Roll, An Inconvenient Truth, Les Miserables, (Oh,I do love a good musical too!) Reefer Madness,Lester Bangs-anything by him and Nick Hornby. I have even read the entire Harry Potter series. The Great Gatsby. The Hobbit. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Stand and Be Counted by David Crosby. I mostly like books that I can learn something from...... Biographies, autobiographies, I am currently picking through Bill Clinton's, My Life book,and trying to catch up on my subscriptions to National Geographic and Rolling Stone.... Anything by Nick Hornby.and some old school John Grisham are good too.

Heroes:

My Mom, she's a fighter, survivor and jack of all trades. My "little brother" and oldest and dearest friend Rob, paramedic/firefighter- my hero!!!! Jennaaay! Jay. Ani Difranco. Jack Johnson (come on, surfer, musician, film maker, living with the woman he loves and their baby in Hawaii). CSN&Y. John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Howard Dean. Anyone strong enough to Stand Up, Be Heard, and OPEN peoples MINDS, hearts, and Imagination.
