About Me

What is there to know about me? Hmmâ€¦I love music. I have been blessed with such a great ability. I am not bragging; I am simply thankful that I was given the opportunity to play string bass. There have been many times when I wanted to walk away. I have never left from its side or perhaps it has never left from mine. It is comparable to a drug; it is more addictive than crack or crystal meth. In an absence of it, my hands and body donâ€™t feel right. I simply need it.
Education, wow, what can I say? If I could teach people how to talk to rocks, I would totally do it. The feelings that come with seeing students understand something is awesome. The act of educating is simply a conversation between hungry minds; it inevitably leads to the advancement of oneâ€™s holistic being. What such power! The human mind works in so many ways; therein lays so much intricacy and complexity. Many people view this as a burden, but I do not. I say bring it on.
About meâ€¦I happen to be human as well. So expect some imperfection. lol.

My Interests

Sewing, listening to music, playing bass, art, laughing all the time, and lots of other good stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Who would I like to meet? That is a great question. I like to meet people who have similar interests. I love professional educators who have been at it for a long time. They have so much experience. I can learn oh so much from them. I love to laugh. I love meeting people who can laugh at anything, and at themselves.

Myspace is nice in that I get to meet great people, keep in touch with friends, and share my thoughts. Now with that said, I donâ€™t like to be irritated by foolishness. AT LEAST READ SOME OF MY BIO OR BLOG TO GET AN IDEA OF WHO I AM BEFORE SENDING A FRIEND REQUEST. I donâ€™t want to waste my time or your time.
