I am here for Friends

About Me

WWW.JUSTKARI.BLOGSPOT.COMThere is one major thing to know about me that is crucial for anyone who wishes to understand me.. Patience is not my strong point. I don't mean patience for small children, or people who need time to come around, or friends who like to tell the extended versions of the stories that make up the essence of their life, I have plenty of time for that. My impatience stems from knowing that experiences are just sweeter when you make them happen RIGHT NOW. If I feel a connection with another human being, why wait in adding them to my life? if I feel like going dancing, why wait till the weekend? If I want to buy the perfect pair of shoes, why wait until I have money? If I want to move to New York, why wait until I have a job (true story)? My point, my friends is that passion is what drives me and when I listen to it, I usually act without looking back. Its definitely served as a good and bad trait in the past, but I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't listened to the most colorful of instincts. I love the people around me with an open heart and I think that the best thing I can do to get through life is find inspiration through inspiring others. I hope that everyone is having a great time at this very second, because realistically, why else are we here??I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

WRITING!!! Check out my work at www.justkari.blogspot.com.. I also love Surfing, listening to new music, hiking, traveling (when I can), Wedding planning, anything to do with the beach, and hanging out with good people, Watching great films, reading fiction, laughing at life's crappy surprises, smiling at life's good surprises, eating great meals, taking great pictures, developing NEW interests.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people who have something real to say. I just want to talk to fun-loving people who also carry some depth and intellect, I definitely am not interested in those who say "you are hotter than two squirrells fucking in a wool sock,"...you know who you are!! ;border="0" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"

Music:

Aw man, where do I start? Well, gotta give props to 80's music- all of it!..the punk rock, the big hair rock, the poppy stuff, and the classic love ballads. I love a million different fusions of good old Rock music, some house, jazz, and alternative. I like some country, bluegrass, some underground hip hop, and sorry fans, but I don't have much love for 'the rap music' in my life. Some of my favorites include The Postal Service, The Strokes, Travis, Frou Frou,Death Cab for Cutie, Bonnie Raitt, Hellogoodbye, Carla Bruni, Tom Petty, Sigur Ros, Stars, The New Pornographers, Annie, ACDC, Boston, Matt Costa, ALO, other hippie-folk music, Steel Pulse, James Taylor, Joni Mitchel- I'm all over the place....

Movies:

Too tough to put any movies as my favorite, but I will give you a little list and let you decide what kind of wierd twisted person I am! Starting with Garden State, Napolean Dynamite, Secretary (awesome), Some older all-time favorites include: Night at the Roxburry (yeah Erica!), High Fidelity, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Office Space, Love Actually, Rocky- all of them!, Clueless, Pulp Fiction, Like Water for Chocolate, LA Story, Reality Bites, When Harry Met Sally, Dead Man Walking, Bend it like Beckham, Shopgirl DEFINITELY Kill Bill volume 1 &2, Moonstruck, Singles, and my all time favorite right now, Stranger Than Fiction... ahhhhhhh can't go on, too many!

Television:

Sex in the City, the great Seinfeld (genius), The Cosby show, & Roseanne. I LOVE and am obsessed Lost, Scrubs and Arrested Development. I like Bravo reality shows for some reason, especially Top Chef and Project Runway. Last but not least, I believe the best TV ever made falls under the name of 'Felicity'.. that's my girl.

Books:

Oh Man, what the hell would I do without fiction? Here are some favorites; The Miracle of mindfulness, A Prayer for Owen Meany, The Secret Life of Bees, Autobiography of Vivian, The World According to Garp, One flew over the Cukoo's Nest; The Kite Runner; Chronicle of a Death Foretold (Marquez); The God of Small Things, The Memory Keeper's Daughter... just to name a few..

Heroes:

I think heroes are really people who characteristically save people from themselves, therefore my heroes are my friends and family because they never give up on me and that is very admirable. Right now, my heroes are also all the soldiers in Iraq, especially those who feel like they shouldn't be there, but keep their heads up everyday, MAN, they are AMAZING. Also, anyone who proactively seeks peace and the greater good for mankind and anyone who is working to get Bush out of office are definitely heroes of mine. Oh! Also my fat-ass cat... She bites me in the face, but I LOVE her!

Phishing in Blue Skies

Time slows down and only music keeps count. The road is open, so full of blue that the ocean begins in the middle of the sky. Big soft clouds position the straight road we follow; so white and overp...
