Myspace Comments | Myspace Graphics | Myspace SurveysI'm a 27-year-old competant, confident, well-educated, half white, half Filipino woman from Missouri. I am an alumnus of the University of Missouri-St. Louis where I graduated with a degree in Mass Communications, an emphasis in Theory and Rhetoric, a minor in English, and a certificate in writing. I am a member of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB). I have been legally blind since birth and we in the NFB believe that with proper training and opportunity, our blindness can simply be reduced to a mere nuissance. We do not see our blindness as a disability, but simply a characteristic of our lives. We do the same day to day things in our lives that sighted people do, but we just use alternative techniques to accomplish them. We believe that the real problem of blindness is not the lack of eyesight, but the misconceptions that exist within the public about blindness and blind people in general. If someone doesn't know something about blindness, I encourage them to ask and find out the real truth about what it is they wish to learn, rather than assume the information themselves. I always tell people that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
I am a brutally honest person. Don't ask unless you really want the truth. I am definitely not the type to beat around the bush or sugar coat anything, I tell it exactly how it is. Several of my friends describe me as being their loudest and most outspoken friend. Although I'm a real direct straight-forward person, (aka a bitch), LOL, I'm generally very easy to get along with. I can talk about almost any subject, and have a friendly debate. The only thing I can't stand is for people to assume things about me because I'm blind. I don't tolerate people assuming that because I'm blind that I can't be independent, or that I'm helpless and incapable of making my own decisions and living my own life to the fullest. I definitely do everything for myself and I am very independent. so feel free to drop me a line anytime. When I do have spare time, I like to hang out with family and friends and drink if they're up for it. I don't mind drinking because I know I'll never have to be the designated driver. LOL. But I don't get crazy drunk, just drink occasionally when a good time is happening. I also like to write, watch TV / movies, travel, see concerts, eat good food, etc. I love to spend time with my dog Hadley and that happens constantly since she's my guide dog. I got her in October 2008 in New York. She is my second guide dog, as my first one, Vanda, passed away very unexpectedly and untimely at age 9 on July 17, 2008. She goes everywhere with me. My biggest obsession, however, that I LOVE to spend the most time on is Kid Rock and I enjoy following him and seeing as many shows as I possibly can. I enjoy that more than anything. I have been officially obsessed with him for the past nine years for the most part. I think people who shit talk him have their heads so far up their asses that they don't even know what the hell they're missing, and those people are more blind than I'll ever be in my life!!! If people shit talk him while I'm present, be prepared for a big debate with me that you won't win!! I had the honor of meeting him for the first time on March 11, 2008. I flew to Georgia and took two trains, two buses and a cab to get to Duluth, GA where the meet and greet took place. I waited eight years to do so, and I know for sure that I will meet him again because generally if I want something bad enough it just gets done and that's just how it is! If I'm determined to do it, it happens, and I want to hang out with him more than anything in life! He, as a person, fascinates me, and it is my dream to be able to talk with him more in depth and be able to see his personality shine in person.
