------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein
One of my favorite quotes, and a good reminder to myself
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------
Have two cats (I will admit - they rule the house)
I love my life, I love my friends and family. Life to me is about friends, family, spirit and finding your place and purpose. I feel like I am on a neverending quest to find out who I am. Like Shrek said, I'm like an onion, full of layers. I keep pulling back layers and I just find more layers. Does that make me complex, I don't think so, although occasionally I'm told I am. I think it just makes me hard to understand. After all how can you understand me completely if I can still suprise myself.
I tend to live my life to the beat of a different drummer and am a bit unconventional. I tend to form my opinions, my beleifs and my values on a combination of thought processes. I do consider myself to be deeply spiritual, but I really suck at being religious. I have a tendency to completely horrify my family and some of my friends occasionally with the electic quality of most of my friends. If you are in my life, you are in my life for a reason. If I call you friend, you are special, I see traits in you that are good, that are pure and are worth knowing. If you know some of my friends, a couple of you may question that statement, but the fact is that sometimes even the fruit that has fallen farthest from the tree can still be sweet and still have value.
I am also self assured, stubborn and opinionated enough that I won't let anyone force me into doing something I don't want to do. I use bend to other peoples pressure that they put on me (what ever the reason), although I do still find it hard to say no sometimes, or stand up for myself, I have learned how to. I am not willing to be less than myself anymore, this has been one of the hardest lessons in my life. (Mom, you would be proud of me)
I tend to believe that life needs to be lived and have filled my life with things I enjoy. Mostly this consists of family and friends as I stated above, but to me they are important and should be treated that way. This doesn't mean I don't have room in my heart or life for more people, I have found that the more people I let into my life, the more room my heart and my life has.
Who else am I. . . . .I am smart and observant. I think that life should be about expanding the mind, expanding reality and pushing mental boundaries. I put myself through college, not because I absolutely needed to, but because I wanted to. Learning, no matter what it is that is being learned is something of high value to me. I love watching and learning about people, to me it is endlessly fascinating to spend the time figuring out what motivates people and what drives who they are.
I'm not exactly a thrill seeker or a daredevil although I love a challenge, I'd rather go for a walk with a camera and stop and take pictures that interest me than try to climb cliffs (or jump off a cliff). I think my way is slower, but I enjoy the moment. I do enjoy the outdoors, although I find I don't spend as much time outside as I sometimes would like.
I would consider myself to be a spiritual person, someone who communes with “God” or the spirit or what ever it is that exists that is greater than each of us as individuals. I know what I feel in my heart, communicating it, I am not so good at. I guess part of that is that I believe there are multiple ways for a person to express their spirituality and one size does not fit all.

What you bring to relationships: Understanding What Color Heart Do You Have?

My Interests

I'll cop out - I'm a gemini - what time is it? what was I doing? Oh yeah, that was yesterday, today I like this new thing.

Seriously, my brain hurts trying to identify what interests me. I guess on the top of my list is people. They are fascinating. What makes us tick and why? Next, well that would be what ever caught my attention in that moment in time.

What Color is Your Soul? {8 results + artsitic pics}
Your Soul is Purple - Artist, dreamer, creative. You are lost in your thoughts, and have a dislike of reality (probably finding it boring). You have to remeber that every idea is based off the reality you know. Magic is everyware, you just have to see it. Thinking, and creating things, are your top priorities (not to mention what you are best at). Keep at it, a little imagination can take you far.

I'd like to meet:

Possibly you.

No seriously, I may possibly be looking for you. I'm always looking for friends and if you are looking at this profile, obviously something caught your attention. If you think I'm interesting enough that you actually slogged through my rambling above, write me. I don't promise to be the best communicator in this world, but I have made some amazing friends (male and female) through the internet.

You Are a Seeker Soul
You are on a quest for knowledge and life challenges.
You love to be curious and ask a ton of questions.
Since you know so much, you make for an interesting conversationalist.
Mentally alert, you can outwit almost anyone (and have fun doing it!).

Very introspective, you can be silently critical of others.
And your quiet nature makes it difficult for people to get to know you.
You see yourself as a philosopher, and you take everything philosophically.
Your main talent is expressing and communicating ideas.

Souls you are most compatible with: Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?

Music:

My favorite person John and his band the aftereffect, this is his website www.theaftereffekt.com/

Rock, Classic Rock, Rhythm and Blues, Jazz, Country, Classical, Opera, New Age, World, Folk. . . . . see a trend?

I pretty much like most music, although within every one of the categories listed above there are artists I love and artists I can't stand listening to. I tend to judge each song and each note for its own merit, not the classification of music it belongs to.

Movies:

Princess Bride, movies based on comics, B rated movies at 1am (for those moments of total exhaustion) some chick flicks like French Kiss, action movies like Blade and martial arts movies, spoofs. . . about the only thing I don't watch is horror movies

Television:

What is Your Native American Totem?
Raven

Books:

Recovering bibliophile. . . . .

Love reading but won't list a favorite book or subject. Decided a while back that my taste changes depending on my mood, so why bother classifying it. (Although I will admit a weakness for the Sci Fi/Fantasy Genre)

At this point, I'm reading up on philosophy, religion and self-help. Love all three of those catagories 'cause they make you have to think beyond yourself and about yourself. If you don't know who you are and what/where you are in this world/universe and beyond, who will?

Heroes:

My mom, my dad and my sister
My mom was my best friend, I can only hope that as I continue to grow and to live my life, that if she were here I would make her proud.
My sister, she will be shocked to read this, but she has been my heroe ever since I can remember. (well except maybe that time she hit me in the head with the leash by accident, but even then she was my heroe, I covered for her) Growing up, she was the person I always wanted to be like, I wanted to be as smart and as pretty as she was. As adults, I admire her strength, willpower, energy and ability to make the world happen. She is raising two of the best kids I know, she gave up her career to raise them, I admire that so much, as I really do beleive it is part of why they are so wonderful. My sister and mother have both been my inspiration through my life, and I only hope I can be half the person they each are.
My dad is a wonderful man, he was a terrific husband who loves my mother even today. I hope that one day I meet a man who can love me the way he loves my mom. He is a strong man, one who is quiet, but I've never doubted he loved me or my sister. Today, I admire the way he has managed to survive losing my mom, and how he has been there for the rest of the family.
Anyone who is willing to be themselves and challenge the reality that they live in.
