About Me

"Many ages ago in our arrogance and delusion we shattered the pure crystal and our world split apart. Your courage and sacrifice have made us whole and restored the true power of the crystal. ...Hold her to you, she is part of you-as we are all part of each other." -The Dark Cystal. Interpret this in your own way. In my arrogance and delusion my heart, my life force, split in two-wisdom and grace impeded by selfishness and ignorance. I am embracing that life calls me to be whole again. Watch the scene yourself here. Skip to the minute 7 mark to see exact reference-the background music is a perfect compliment to the script.

My Interests

Art of all kinds: Theater, Paintings, Dancing, Acrobatics, Musicals, and Music just to name a few. My strategic management text book says that management is an art form. I am just starting to be able to appreciate sports for the first time in my life. I love my two kitties, Cosmic the Great and Minnie May. They talk to me coherently. My friends will vouch for that. I like being a snob. I like being a plebe. I like Budweiser Select and I like plastic surgery done by good plastic surgeons. I like books written by creative people with good vocabularies. I like books written to sixth grade reading levels on the new york times best seller lists. I like people watching. I like collecting psychological profiles. I enjoy the benefits of white slavery. Just Kidding. I am a white slave. Just Kidding. I like the idea of Jesus Christ. I don't like the idea of Hell. I'm not sure I believe either really exist. I enjoy politics and economics. I enjoyed voting on Bonds today for the city of Dallas because it made me feel like an important economist. Delusions of Grandeur are fun. I've never been to jail and I can count how many times I get drunk per year on one hand. I enjoy sobriety. I only hate one thing: passive ignorance. I love to dance with fun dance partners and study in study groups. I love smart men who make me laugh. I like beautiful men who make me lust. Both in one person is best and as rare as red diamonds. I love having a good group of girlfriends. I relish in understanding how the world REALLY works. Maybe someday I'll know enough to perform one of my favorite phrases, " commendere(sp?) an abundant amount of resources," to make life more interesting. Stagnant is boring. Lack of adventure is death. Someone to share adventure with: Ideal. My favorite word is Equitable and I use it out of context on purpose just for fun.
You Are 5: The Investigator
You're independent - and a logical analytical thinker.

You love learning and ideas... and know things no one else does.

Bored by small talk, you refuse to participate in boring conversations.

You are open minded. A visionary. You understand the world and may change it. What Number Are You?

I'd like to meet:

Gene Tierney. Peter Steele .
You Should Get a JD (Juris Doctor)
You're logical, driven, and ruthless.
You'd make a mighty fine lawyer. Lovin' this nine inch nails song made for the movie Seven. I knew I had heart it somewhere before...children advised. The good Gust Kepler once described me as having a personality like Lilith on the shows Frazier and Cheers. In watching the last 2 minutes of this video I can see that. And it certainly explains why I have such a long history of people running for the hills at making my close acquaintance. :)

Music:

Anything that has a varied usage in instrument and lyrical content. Everything from classical and country to techno ("gotta get up" the ravers' plight) and hard rock. You can catch me listening to New Age Music with wood flutes and wind chimes or head banging to Death Metal (but only with my dearest mother.) And I have been known to attempt shaking my groove thang to Hip Hop, and I've been told, yes sir, that I have rhythm. ;) Most of all Peter Steele for his wit, musical talent and great genetic code. Type o Negative

Add to My Profile | More Videos

Movies:

After the Wedding, Amazing Grace, The Namesake, The Prestige, Hard Candy, The Fastest Indian, Thankyou for Smoking, White Countess, Broken Flowers, The Aviator, The Cell, Clan of the Cave Bear, Crash, Sleeping Beauty, Sideways, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, The Manchurian Candidate, Blow, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Harry Potter, Gladiator, Duece Bigalow 2 (believe it or not it's pretty funny), almost all black comedies...so many more, so little ability to recall.
Your Dominant Intelligence is Interpersonal Intelligence
You shine in your ability to realate to and understand others.
Good at seeing others' points of view, you get how people think and feel.
You have an uncanny ability to sense true feelings, intentions, and motivations.
A natural born leader, you are great at teaching and mediating conflict.

You would make a good counselor, salesperson, politician, or business person. What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

Television:

I don't have TV channels at my house but I do have Simpsons on DVD. Screw Family Guy. The only reason why I ever want to watch TV...is honestly for this purpose only; to watch Political Debates. I am right there with you...what is wrong with me? :)

Books:

All of my text books as a Finance Major-for the sake of creativity and freedom. The Magus by John Fowles. Embers by Sandor Morai. Mao: The Untold Story. Lolita. Middle Sex by Eugenides. Heart of Darkness. Shopgirl. Biography of Theodore Roosevelt. Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. Diary by Chuck Palaniuk, Space Odyssey 2001. Prince by Machiavelli (don't hate the player hate the game) The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. The Scarlet Letter. The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo. All of Shakespeare's Plays.

Heroes:

Anyone who has fought tenaciously against the odds, taken big risks and sacrificed much to be what it is they know they should be."You can judge your success by what you have sacrificed."The people I admire: Dr. Jan Pickett for his hard work, dedication and keeping others best interest in mind. My father, mother,and grandmother for showing me unconditional love(the most rare gift on the planet). My friends Katherine Vincent (formerly Kiley Rard) and Steve Boreyso for being bright, competent peers with a great sense of humor, and eight years of loyal friendship. Brad Duesler for his prodigious talents, disclipline and wonderful friendship. Ruthie-Farrah, someone whom I am humbled to be thought of as a "twin" in physical likeness by some, but am even more humbled to know her unceasing kindness and her reminders of the meaning of the word integrity. And lastly, Trevor, you little butt. I underestimate you often and yet you always check me in my arguments. You nurture me and help me explore the novelty of these things called feelings. Without you I would have remained the emotionally wrangled, repressed and distorted creature I knew myself to be before. Thankyou for giving me the gift of a God that is perhaps truly listening.
