Tough times don't last, tough people do.

About Me

ABOUT LIFE:
1. YOU WILL RECEIVE A BODY. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for this entire period.
2. YOU WILL LEARN LESSONS. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think of them as irrelevant and stupid.
3. THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS. Growth is a process of trial and error: Experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."
4. A LESSON IS REPEATED UNTIL LEARNED. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it.
5. LEARNING LESSONS DOES NOT END. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. As long as you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6. "THERE" IS NO BETTER THAN "HERE." When your "there" has become a "here," you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7. OTHERS ARE MIRRORS OF YOURSELF. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
8. WHAT YOU MAKE OF YOUR LIFE IS UP TO YOU. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. YOUR ANSWERS LIE INSIDE YOU. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
10. YOU WILL FORGET ALL THIS.
*****************************
I absolutly love to laugh! :) Happiness is the biggest stress reliever there is.
Honesty is the best policy.
I love my family and friends. They are the world to me.
I am interested in freedom and living free. Not a wild - crazy - do anything - even if it's harmful - kind of freedom, but living in a way that allows me to take chances. First, fourth, or as many as necessary. They open doors to the life I want. Living that philosophy helps me get what I want. We deserve it, and it's worth it. A person who doesn't take chances is a person who does nothing.

My Interests

The following is not recommended for anyone whose perch on the mental balance beam is at all precarious.

ABOUT LIFE:
1. YOU WILL RECEIVE A BODY. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period of this time around.
2. YOU WILL LEARN LESSONS. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
3. THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS. Growth is a process of trial and error: Experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."
4. A LESSON IS REPEATED UNTIL LEARNED. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.
5. LEARNING LESSONS DOES NOT END. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6. "THERE" IS NO BETTER THAN "HERE." When your "there" has become a "here," you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."

I'd like to meet:




Music:

There are some songs in every genre that I like. I have a preference for highly charged music.

Movies:

Again, it varies. To keep it simple, I like foreign films, independent films and Hollwood films.
Erin Brockovich

Television:

Great background noise. I do enjoy The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

Books:

Cheap crime novels. My favorite author is Janet Evanovich. She writes mysteries with a twist... humor. I have never read anything that had me laughing so hard, tears were coming out of my eyes. She rocks!

Heroes:

There are some.
