The hole is where the heart is...

About Me

I am a very creative person. A bit eccentric. I see the beauty in everything, even death, even in what most would consider macabre, grotesque or disturbing. You can find the most interesting of things there, that you would normally not be able to see because it is so rarely examined. At this point in my life, I have come to realize a lot of things. What is important to me and what is not. I am concentrating on myself, my goals, my happiness, and anything that seems to stand in the way of that happiness, I am setting free. I am not looking for love or romance, for they have stung me too deeply in the past. Yes, there are those whom I love deeply, but they have proven too toxic, too non-understanding, too selfish, too broken for me to hope to heal. I realize, I should heal myself. I don't hurt those around me. I am not vicious, nor am I cruel. The main thing that one can ever do to cause themselves to be expelled from my life is to lie to me, or to break a promise. I am strong-willed and sometimes stubborn. I procrastinate, want people to be good people so badly, that I often overlook major flaws, or bad treatment. This is a recent lesson that I have finally learned, after being so stubborn & wanting things to work so badly that I wouldn't actually look at what was staring me in the face. You can truly count on no one as much as you can count on yourself. I loathe and fear nothing, yet I loathe and fear many things. I am impervious, yet fragile. My life and my heart lies in my artwork, my one true love. My one faithful companion, the brush, the paint, the machine with its inks, the camera lense with its honest eye, the clay around my fingers, plaster under my nails, the thread and the needle, the pencil on the paper, the prose on the lined pages of empty books...the light of the candle as it slowly dissolves the wax, the moon and her sigh...
Be true to me, and I will be true to you.
Wrong me, and I will be sad for your loss, but not mourn your passing for too long.
Get to know me, and you will find that I am very open-minded, fun, love good conversation, intellectual, but also a complete nerd, comics, old horror movies, kung fu, science fiction, video games, action figures, I am afflicted with the wonderful curse of playing World of Warcraft *wink*...I want to travel, and see the world. Experience this life I have been given. Had I the money, I'd be an archeologist, a biologist, a genius in the field of anatomy, homicide, psychology, study to be a professor in a large stuffy college, teaching art and the mysteries of cultures and cities past...Had I the time in life, I'd learn all there is to learn, read every book ever written, study every subject in the world, teach myself every instrument to be played.
LIFE IS MEANT TO BE LIVED.

We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds.
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GATHER, BUT WHAT YOU SCATTER THAT TELLS WHAT KIND OF LIFE YOU HAVE LIVED!

"The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without. Inevitably anyone with an independent mind must become "one who resists or opposes authority or established conventions": a rebel. If enough people come to agree with, and follow, the Rebel, we now have a Devil. Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we have Greatness." ~Aleister Crowley
R.I.P. I will love and miss you both always. My tears for you will make a river. I hope against all hope, that somehow, you are now together for all time.

Your Sun Sign:
Capricorn Sun 10° Capricorn 59'
he sure-footed Mountain Goat can climb to higher altitudes than any other mammal. And you sure-footed Capricorns are also well-suited for climbing. You set high goals for yourself and then you overcome whatever obstacles may appear between you and the top of your personal mountain. As you climb the ladder of success, your ambition pushes you forward. Status can be important to you and often, at the top of your game, you gain personal satisfaction by knowing that others respect you for what you have accomplished.Motto: "If opportunity doesn't knock, then build a door." Greatest Strength: Your ability to overcome obstacles Possible Weakness: Too much work and not enough play

Your Moon Sign:
Scorpio Moon 15° Scorpio 53'
t can be hard to trust others when you have the Moon in Scorpio because you are so sensitive to questions of power and control. You're aware of deep issues that most people don't want to face. You know what it's like to go to the very depths of emotions, both with passion and with fear. You need intensity, even if that means shaking up a relationship at times. That's because you're not satisfied with what lies on the surface. Getting to the bottom of things can disturb others (and you as well)… but it's hard to keep from going where your feelings take you. It's this emotional courage, though, that makes you such a powerful person, able to work through complex matters that most people refuse to face.Motto: "No one feels more intensely than me." Greatest Strength: Emotional persistence Possible Weakness: Shame about your secrets

Your Rising Sign:
Sagittarius Ascendant 21° Sagittarius 01'
You're a natural teacher, promoter or salesperson. With Sagittarius Rising you share what you know with high energy and enthusiasm like a preacher or a cheerleader. You tend to blow through the negativity others present by pushing forward your beliefs without showing any doubt. It's this obvious optimism that lifts you and those around you, bringing hope to the darkest of situations. But your natural focus tends to more on the big picture than on little details. Overlooking the small stuff can be a great asset at times because it keeps you from being distracted, but there are circumstances where it's important to bring your focus back from the far end of the horizon to an issue that's right in front of you.Motto: "If I know something, I'll tell you about it." Greatest Strength: Inspiring others with positive ideas Possible Weakness: Coming across as a know-it-all

I'd like to meet:



"This is where we shed tears of Absinthe, this is where the petals of flowers are crushed and soiled as bloodied and dirtied as the words of Childhood Monsters...words that continue to haunt us still in our dreams or wandering memories that sneak up into our unsuspecting ears whilst we are staring into an empty glass of wine. A diamond lost is but only a broken gem, but this, this is a shattered opal, so much like a severed strand of DNA or a secret that was so close to being discovered. Lost, so lost. We cry tears into our pillows and pull out our hair and weep until the tears won't come. We abuse our bodies until even the physical abuse becomes numb, just as the emotional abuse has become. We sling paint all over the walls until there is not a spot left unscathed. Then we sit. Thoughtless, nothingness. A shell. Until we can breathe again...This is the time that the Watchers stare at us, examine us, breathe their scentless breath on us - do we listen? Why do they love so, our Despair? Why do they revel in it? And we wait..we wait in that agonizing but somehow familiar silence that is not a silence at all but a shriek. We wait to feel, and we wait~to breathe..." (Poem by Me)
