Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me)

About Me


I'm here for FRIENDS ONLY.
If you should have any issues concerning the statement above,
please contact my customer service representative herein below,
who will be more than pleased walk you through company policy:

My life revolves around music, the written word and films (the old, the classic, the new, the indie, the odd, foreign, silent, shorts (and only on very rare occasions the mainstream...but don't tell nobody...).
I'm originally from Hernando, Mississippi just south of Memphis, Tennessee.
I 'stay' in Jackson (MS). Came here to work in music licensing at Malaco Records.
"My life is more than just a vision,
the sweetest part is acting
after making a decision
I started seeing the whole
as a sum of its parts."
~Emily Saliers
I'm currently working on my first short film---it's been an amazing process to collaborate with fellow artists.
I also sing/play guitar and perform Celtic music along with originals and other folky things. Love to write stories and paint.
Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." ~Mark Twain
I love all things vintage. The Art Deco era is my fav and collect vintage wedding invitations.

driving over river bridges and honking my horn, stream of consciousness, scratchy jazz & blues recordings from the 20s and 30s, pushing the snooze button, daydreaming, a good jack and coke, writing in a notebook i drag around everywhere, speaking french, whispering secrets, my cats, king size pillows, all things british, getting river mud on my boots, driving through puddles, vintage things, i hate knowing i have to go to sleep because i'm never really ready to end my day (although i love the act of sleeping itself), alone time, snuggling, kisses and hugs, bookstores, healthy living, theatre/musicals, travel--especially road trips, late-night-in-the-dark-under-the-covers-sleepy telephone calls, paint brushes in an old coffee can, the smell of horses and tack, cooking, vintage fashion, exotic foods, guilty pleasures, tearing out a good page from a magazine in the doctor's office, black & white photography, walking on beale street and soaking up the music

"the best remedy for anything is highway 55/you head across the river to the arkansas side..." ak

HOME.

I'd like to meet:



Like-minded people. There are many different kinds of soul mates...You have to sift and search but they are out there.
