My Interests

I have many interests in my life! I fricken love beer. Good hoppy beer. Throw me anything loaded with hops or has a unique flavor. I love trying new microbrews, and seasoning my palate. IPAs and Pale Ales are my favorite, but when i can find a good Red I'll change it up. Stone Brewing Co. has some of the best beers I have tried, and California is THE best state for microbrews. I have decided to take my passion for beer a bit higher and i have started to make my own beers. Thats right folks i am a hombrewer, and i am damn proud of it. Ii have tred my first beer and i am proud- its a good beer! I dislike the fact that most people dont know a good beer, and i am always looking for people that i can chat with that respect and understand beer as much as my husband and i do. I love my husband! He's my best friend, and we laugh and laugh and laugh. He's just like me personality wise, and he's always up for anything. He's my hero and my everything. Finally he's back, and we can get back to our lives again. Its amazing how you can find so much love for someone that you didnt even know that you could possess. I truely understand him, and he totally understands me. how lucky is that? I love my family. My parents are my best friends. They always give great advice, and have such a vast knowledge of anything and everything. Any question i have they always have the answer. They have taught me so much, and without them, i dont know where i would be. They also love beer as much as i do, and they understand a great brew. I must have developed my aptitude for tasting good beer from them. I love my friends. My friends have given me so many smiles on my face, and no matter what, i know i could fall on them if needed. We always have fun together. Each one is so random, and i love it. I just got into Poker a bit. I'd love to actually play some hands with a few people, but i dont know anyone here that plays. Texas Hold'em, and i think i might be getting better. I love watching it on TV, and i play ... Maybe one day i'll get my own poker table too.... I love my Dingo. My little princess Cody boy. Such a spoiled dog that loves me unconditionally. He's there when Matt is gone to cuddle with me, and show me love. He's a great dog. So much personality crammed into one dog. He is such a cuddle dingo, and has to sleep with his head on a pillow, and right next to you. What a sweetheart he is. You'll fall deeply and madly in love with him the moment you meet him. I love to be creative. I am an extremely passionate, emotional and creative person. Combine those three together and the best way to express myself alot of time- is to create. Whatever it may be. I love to travel. Forget the mansion- i want to travel. I hate the touristy places- i want to see the real culture. I want to go off the beaten path. i want to eat dinner at the locals house with them- even if i dont understand the language. I want to experience everything. Matt has been to so many countries, but we have visited Japan, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Cayman Islands, and about 13 different states throughout the US. We cant wait to travel more! I love earrings. One accessory that i want a thousand of. I love them! I love animals. I have always grown up around all kinds of animals. From Sea turtle walks on the beach to tigers i got to hold from Thunderhawk to my love for sloths. My life wont be complete without animals in my life.

I'd like to meet:

Eh, whoever...Matt and I at the Stone 10th Anniversary Beer Fest! What a killer time that was. All the beers were amazing, and they certainly werent for the naive palate. Some people are just not worthy.

Music:

First it must have passion! One of my favorites will always be Incubus. Mudvayne, Shadows Fall, Slipknot, Tool, Led Zepplin, Metallica, Atreyu, Weezer, Bush, 311, SOAD, Sublime, Frank Sinatra, Bocelli, and just random other artists.

Movies:

Fight Club, Boondock Saints, Pan's Labrinth, Team America, American History X, Rise of the Sun, Pete's Dragon, Clerks, Clerks II, The Departed, The Labrinth, Goonies, Pirates of the Carib, Stay or anything interesting with twists or unpredictable endings...

Television:

I really need a TiVO.

Books:

Survivor, Choke, Diary, Fight Club, Lullaby, Invisible Monsters, Haunted, and Rant- all by Chuck Palahniuk. Great author. Other than that the authors that have sparked my interest are Dan Brown with Angels and Demons and Deception Point. Christopher William Baer with Kiss me Judas, and Penny Dreadful. i just finished reading A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard, both very good books, and aroused some emotion from my end. I find dark satires mostly my style.

Heroes:

My husband is an amazing man. He just got out of the Marine Corps. after serving for 4 years. He was a great Force Recon operator, and he is truely a kind soul all the way through. He has a stellar sense of humor, and love for everything, and anything. He'll never let a friend down, and he'll always stand up for you. He really truely is all mine.
