About Me

..
something about me...? let's see * mostly, i live my life for me and spend very little time worrying about what other people think * i'm just too far along in life to waste time on such nonsense * i believe in living for today and try to be fully present in every experience that comes my way, both the good and the bad * i care deeply about the people who are important to me and i love to help anyone who needs it * i've often been told i have an attitude, but that's ok because it works for me * i'm honest and opinionated and passionate about the things i believe and this combination has at times gotten me into trouble * but it's who i am and i won't apologize for it * i spend a lot of time thinking about things and at times have been accused of overanalysis * but can anyone ever really think too much...? that just seems absurd * i love getting lost in books and in movies * books can be anything but movies usually have to be horror or sci-fi * the more unrealistic and farfetched and twisted, the more i love it * i also spend a lot of time listening to music and that can be pretty much anything as well *

i love to write and i love to paint * mixing words and thoughts on paper or mixing colors and textures on canvas both give me the same euphoric sense of expression * with either thing, i couldn't care less about what anyone else sees in the finished piece * for me, it's all about the process and having an outlet for everything inside of me * my family is everything to me and i love spending time with them * my faith is the cornerstone of my life and without it, i know i'd have been lost long ago * i have two awesome dogs, sadie and sam, and they are a huge part of my world and have seen me through some tough times * i work 3rd shift at walgreen's and have been doing so for 5 years * working nights suits my life and my personality and i love it * the people i work with and have worked with are great and the job is never boring * beside's walgreen's, i also take care of my 3 year old nephew tyler, and if you want to see just how much fun that is, look at my pics * he's absolutely amazing and i love him tons * my life is very full * so far it has been crazy and chaotic and amazing and beautiful and horrible and perfect all at the same time and i love and am learning to love every moment of it, even the bad, because it is who i am and i wouldn't want to be anyone else * i can't wait to see what comes next...

My Interests

just about everything and anything interests me, but people are the most fascinating of all * i love to listen to other people talk, because even when they don't say much, they are usually saying a lot * one simply needs to "really listen" * and that is a dying art * how sad...

I'd like to meet:

anyone who has a story to tell * who can make me laugh * who will laugh with me * who will tell me the truth * who will listen to the truth * who isn't afraid of what I feel * who isn't afraid of what they feel * who wants to make the world a better place... happy bruce

Music:

if it seeps under my skin, into my head, grabs hold of my soul, and makes me want to hear it again and again...then i love it * music fills me and i breathe...

Movies:

if it keeps me on the edge of my seat and sucks me in and holds me fast throughout, then i'm there * the more bizzare and twisted the story, the happier i am * movies deeply based in reality just suck...

Television:

i almost never watch TV * it dulls my senses, warps my mind, and suffocates my soul * my time is better spent expressing myself and collecting life's stories into my head * there's a reason why it's called the "idiot box".....

Books:

i'll read any book at least once * if it makes me want to not put it down, immediately pulls me to another place, and gives me a temporary escape from my life...then i love it * And every book, even the really "bad" ones, have some value or purpose to offer * every story is worth telling and every story is worth knowing * currently reading catch 22...&...mister b. gone...&...the long run...&...the alchemist

Heroes:

um...i don't know * what exactly is a hero anyway? if you mean who do i emulate, then i would have to say anyone who is honest, sincere, caring, respectable, dependable, trustworthy, creative, expressive, receptive, focused, determined, confident, hard-working, can laugh at life and at themselves, and has an unquenchable passion for life, for learning, for listening, for seeing, for personal growth, and for self-actualzation * hey wait...i think that's me * i guess i'm my own "hero" * but anyone else who can claim any of these characteristics can be my "hero" as well * always seek yourself first...
