What interests me? Nature is a big one. Being in nature is so profound at times. I pay close attention to it. The color of the grass, the kind of trees, the pinks on the horizon, the sounds of life. I Love art and being with other artists. There is always something important to discuss and examine. I absolutely LOVE MUSIC!! I like music to be poetic and sweet... I like it to be strong and powerful. I Love animals too. I have the best dog in the world... DUGAN!! :) I love being surrounded by friends, being in my studio.... Music Blasting and paint flying! :) I love art openings, road trips, Saturday afternoons, Christmas Eve, warm sunny days, my Momma's chocolate pudding, my Daddy's rebuilt hot rods, my paint covered overalls, my messy studio, my beat up car, my camera, meeting new people, hugs, lots of kisses, and Sunday Brunch.
I'd like to meet:

Television:
Okay, I do enjoy the TV... But I do have my standards... I love to learn and I have a fascination with nature. . I record all the news stuff... Nightline, 20/20, and most recently, March of the Penguins.... which makes me giggle, feel empathy and watch in wonder.
I do enjoy the morning news,
Oprah,
almost anything educational,
comical,
and The L Word. ......BETTE (YUM).
Books:
I'm proud to say that I am no longer the lazy reader I used to be! Oprah has me all fired up about her most recent book choices. I read Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth and World Without End and now I am on to A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. I'm even signed up for the class she and Eckhart are teaching on the web. I had a hard time getting through the first part of the book, but now it's coming together... I totally suggest you grab a copy. :) And major kudos to Oprah for getting me and so many more reading again!!!
Heroes:
There is one Big one for me... Vincent.
You all know who I'm talking about. :)
Poor, beautiful, tormented soul...
Wish I could've hung out with him.
Another is Tori Amos. Ahhhh, I met her in below zero weather in Feburary, 2003. I was one of about 30 others that waited for her that day.. (normally 500+) She came late, BUT very warm and hugged me. She kissed me on the cheek and called me "Angel." She is a hero of mine because she has no fear. . Or at least she shows none. She says what's on her mind. Forgetting about the rules.. She expresses herself fearlessly ... If it offends, comforts, or anything in between, she's happy to have given her audience something.. I love her brutal and eloquent honesty.
Another is Frida Kahlo...
What a colorful life she led.
Something tells me we would've
been really "BAD" together.
My parents,
my friends,
artists,
musicians,
Anyone who really follows their bliss in this life.
