About Me

IF Darin and I ever have children, they must be like this...I got my free layout at Cleanupmyspace.com

My Interests

New York city, coffee, Darin, surfing, figuring out what's next...

I'd like to meet:

THESE KIDS......"...I came to the conclusion that, given the technology of modern warfare, war is inevitably a war against children, against civilians. When you look at the ratio of civilian to military dead, it changes from 50-50 in World War II to 80-20 in Vietnam, maybe as high as 90-10 today… When you face that fact, war is now always a war against civilians, and so against children. No political goal can justify it, and so the great challenge before the human race in our time is to solve the problems of tyranny and aggression, and do it without war." ~Howard Zinn

Thoughts

I feel like I've been letting some really negative people affect my life the past few months. People who are really not worth it, in the long run.So, I'm crumpling those feelings up like a piece of pa...

In case...

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.As far as possible without surrenderbe on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and list...

WTF?

Recently I've discovered that I'm really much more shallow than I'd ever imagined. I'm saying this because I've allowed myself to spend hours... hours sitting in front of the TV watching... no, inject...

So, as some of you may know, I left NYC just under a week ago to begin the process of working as a principal singer for Norwegian Cruise Lines of America - specifically the Pride of Hawaii. Now, I kno...
