what a long strange trip it's been...

About Me


You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.Don't Drink, Don't Smoke...Addicted to sugar in all forms as long as it's not associated with nuts or raisins.I am convinced both Cold Stone and Krispy Kremes are owned and operated by the Devil.I freak out if I don't have a Black Sharpie (ultra fine) in my pocket at all times?I love the color orange.. (especially on a t-shirt).Cancer by sign and probably true in most cases? drawn to water. I HAVE TO SURF! I can be overly sensitive (sometimes good, sometimes bad). I crave alot of attention, but I give even more. My friends & family are my life and I would go above and beyond for them.camping, fishing, surfing, wakeboarding, sailing, riding motorbikes... the world is a huge playground that we take for granted and definitely don't respect as much as we should.I am a bit of a movie whore and enjoy an excuse to be laid out on a comfy couch watching a good flick. (even better when some Thai food is added to the mix)I am EXTREMELY UPSET in the push to remove the arts from Education! I cannot think of a better way for children to express themselves and their diversity than through music, art, dance.. This is when children need it the most.. their minds are open, clean, ready to express, to learn/absorb.. unjaded..---Not everyone is jock or a scholar.. Not everyone will be an accountant, a nurse, a president, a business owner of some sort..IMAGINE THE WORLD WITH NO ART! - NO MUSIC!Is this our future??
