About Me

Layout Provided By FreeCodeSource.com - Myspace LayoutsI am education major with a concentration in History at a private university in my home state of North Carolina. I want to teach high school history...I think. I dont think that I will ever stop my education until I earn my doctorate, even it takes me until I am 80. I would love to be called Dr. Something. Who knows what my last name will be. I am energetic and very open. I am alergic to bananas and bees. I bite my nails and smoke two very bad habits. Hey, don't look at me like that, everybody has them. I hate stupidity, ignorance, and hypocracy in any form. I love passion and anyone who is a free thinker, intelligent conversation, debates about current issues, and too much to just sit here and list. I am very spantaneous but I also appreciate a well constructed plan. If I had to say what kind of person I am in one word it would be trustworthy. Well maybe honest. Either one. I am agnostic, but I respect others beliefs in organized religion. I tend not to judge one on their beliefs or lifesyle. I get to know ya first. I have a really bad southern accent, come on, you know it's charming. I have been seeing a wonderful guy who has intorduced me to a lot of equally wonderful people; so, its an interesting time for me. I also have a six year old daughter named Deeanna. She is a sweetheart and I love her dearly. She looks just like me except she is three feet tall. She is the most sarcastic first grader I have ever met, and I substitute teach. I grew up in a very typical broken American faimily. I have four brothers and a sister; although, my sister and one of my brothers are not very close to me. Thats pretty much enough to get you started if you are interested. If there is anything else you want to know than you should probably just ask me. "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety and will lose both."
Benjamin Franklin
"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."
Sir Winston Churchill

My Interests

Being pooped upon and picking out the cornI enjoy watching American football (Go Panthers!) I also like music of all types and enjoy mostly hanging out with friends and having a good time. I love camping, going to the beach, walking on trails or in the park, canoeing, kayaking and reading. I also enjoy volunteering at my daughter's school. Oh yeah, and Scrabble and other board and card games, but especially Scrabble. OMG, Shut up you do too even if you wont admit it!

"Sick I am of idle words, past all reconciling, Words that weary and perplex and pander and conceal, Wake the sounds that cannot lie, for all their sweet beguiling; The language one need fathom not, but only hear and feel."
George Du Maurier

"I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland."
Woody Allen

Things I Have Learned Along The Way:
Good living is the best revenge......being happy sweetens the pot!

No matter where you go there you are.....you are the only person you cant get a restraining order against!

Magazines tell you that you should be 100 lbs. and wear a size 2 pants and an extra large shirt to contain your massive boobs......but burgers and beer tell you that is bullshit and that you can only be happy with yourself by being happy with more than whats on the outside!

If you arent happy with the one you are with....leave.....you cant force someone to change and you staying is giving them no incentive!

The best medicine is some of your own.....eating crow and swallowing your pride can be just as good for your soul as vitamins for your body!

Only you know when you are ready.....but sometimes you need a push in the right direction....take the push!

Giving someone a second chance is enough...if they love you they wont screw it up!

Just a word of advice....and incase you were wondering...tequilla and orange juice do not make a good combination...it tastes kind of like a rotten flintstone vitamin....YUCK..just mix it with margarita mix...thats always a safe bet!

Religion and polotics arent always taboo topics for conversation....it just depends on the maturity and the acceptance of the company you are in!

Life is too long of a road to get angry over every little bump that makes the ride uncomfortable.....try and limit the anger to the ones that make you go into the ditch!

Rarely in this life do you get the following: something for nothing, rewarded for your talents, recognition for your achievements....anytime you are promised one of those...you might want to re examine the situation to eliminate the possibility of it being a scam!

Taking your means of escaping reality and trying to turn a profit out of it is really a horrible idea...it then becomes work and you have nowhere to turn when reality becomes too much to handle!

Being famous isnt all its cracked up to be...neither is being rich....sure there are lots of perks....but the down side is steep...that is a different breed of people then the everyday joe....and not in a good way.....money and recognition change people in ways that arent always pleasant!

No matter what you do....some people will never love you like you love them....there is nothing you can do....and it hurts....but you don't have to subject yourself to the heartache forever....just let go.

There are some people in this world who aren't mature enough to handle the responsiblity that goes along with caring about another person...it's not enraging...its sad...feel sorry for them...these people will never know true happiness!

Starting over is one of the hardest things to do, but sometimes you have no choice. Its overwhelming, a bit disheartening, and a lot confusing; however, if you take a look at what you do have, what you have to do, and where you are going, its a lot easier. Take a breath. You will be ok.

"Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense. Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I'll forgive Thy great big joke on me." Robert Frost

I'd like to meet:

People who are real, down to earth, in love with life, open mined, not afraid to stand alone in their beliefs, free thinkers and people that aren't two dimensional. Ok, I need to say something here.....I dont want to be bothered with the 'hey, baby! wanna fuck?" bullshit. If you wanna talk and shoot the shit maybe have a drink or two and you meet the above criteria then wonderful, but if not then sorry dont waste my time and yours, k babe.

If you are a dreamer, A wisher, A liar, A hoper, A prayer, A magic-bean-buyer, If you're a pretender, Come sit by my fire, For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!

"I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." The Bible

"...a revolution of government is the strongest proof that can be given by a people of their virtue and good sense."
John Adams

"I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes." e. e. cummings

Brown Penny
I WHISPERED, 'I am too young,'
And then, 'I am old enough';
Wherefore I threw a penny
To find out if I might love.
'Go and love, go and love, young man,
If the lady be young and fair.'
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
I am looped in the loops of her hair.
O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
One cannot begin it too soon.
William Butler Yeats

"Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage which we did not take, towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden." T. S. Eliot

Music:


I like all kinds. My cd collection ranges from swing to metal and everything in between. I like tool, pink floyd, led zeplin, the eagles, bob seager, metallica, radiohead, dean martin, frank sinatra, etta james, ella fitzgerald, fiona apple, alanis morisette, the doors, alice cooper, alice in chains, muse, my chemical romance, the mars volta, chemical brothers, crystal method, soul slinger, aphrodite, nirvana, acid bath, billy joel, the rolling stones, the beatles, jefferson airplane, beck, opeth, slipknot, stone sour, velvet revolver, stone temple pilots, clutch, demon hunter, type o negative, outkast, rage against the machine,red hot chili peppers, sound garden, pearl jam, white stripes, bob dylan, hendrix, stevie ray vaughn, postal service, alice in chains, lacuna coil, space hog, the flaming lips, a perfect circle, greenday, cynder(you guys will always be that to me, sorry), and anything with passion that strives to set itself apart from the MTV, FUSE and the rest of the mainstream media garbage. I like something I can either sing to or rock out to.

"I'm so sick of arming the world and then sending troops over to destroy the fucking arms, you know what I mean? We keep arming these little countries, then we go and blow the shit out of 'em. We're like the bullies of the world, you know. We're like Jack Palance in the movie Shane ... throwing the pistol at the sheep herder's feet: "Pick it up." "I don't wanna pick it up mister, you'll shoot me." "Pick up the gun." "Mister, I don't want no trouble, huh. I just came down town here to get some hard rock candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife. I don't even know what gingham is, but she goes through about 10 rolls a week of that stuff. I ain't looking for no trouble, mister." "Pick up the gun." Boom, boom. "You all saw him. He had a gun."
Bill Hicks

"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."
Thomas Jefferson

Movies:

V for Vendetta, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Momento, The Machinist, Saw, Roman Holiday, The Crow, The Others, The Sixth Sense, Disney's Alice in Wonderland, Can't Hardly Wait, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Cruel Intentions, Nightmare Before Christmas, Waking Life, Fire Walk With Me, Donnie Darco, 12 Angry Men, 12 Monkeys, Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Sin City, Kill Bill, Secret of the Nymh, The Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Goodfellas, The Godfather I and II, Casino, The People vs. Larry Flynt, Identity, Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon, Hannibal, The Shining, Run Ronnie Run, American History X, Wicker Park, Primary Colors, Street Car Named Desire, Some Like it Hot, The Birds, Psycho (the original), The Cell, Seeing Other People, The Goonies, Gone With The Wind, Empire Records, Searching For Bobby Fisher, Kids, Requiem for a Dream, Disney's Robin Hood, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, A Time to Kill, Courage Under Fire, Dogma, The Gods Must Be Crazy, South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Joe Dirt, American Beauty, Training Day, Shakespeare in Love, Primal Fear, Finding Nemo, Joe Dirt, Friday Night Lights, Varsity Blues, Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Chasing Amy, A time to Kill, Dazed and Confused, Kids. I can't help but be a sucker for the love stories! Every girl dreams of being swept off her feet and made to feel like she is the only women on earth. A true love story never has endings, and being completely, unconditionally, and eternally in love makes your life seem purposeful. You cant beat it; even if it is just a movie.
Your Famous Movie Kiss is from The Princess Bride
"This is true love - you think this happens every day?" What Famous Movie Kiss Are You?
"Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised."
Marilyn Manson
"Last words are for people who haven't said anything in life."
Karl Marx
"It just seem like musicians want to sell a few records and put out a perfume line, and I think it's so sad that there are so many musicians who don't want to change the world... Music has been so much more."
Moby

Television:

"The government could take away all the drugs in the world and people would spin around on their lawns until they fell down and saw God."
Dennis Miller

I dont watch much TV, but when i do its usually something educational or comical. I like amine though I really never get to watch them. Inuyasha is my favorite...(what? Don't talk about it!) I also like the concept of Current TV. Viewer controlled television, yeah it could work. Cartoon Network plays a big part in my life....but I like cartoons. Ok so the list...South Park, American Dad, Family Guy, Court TV, CNN, anything on the Discovery Channels, Project Runway, House, the Daily Show (Viva La Stewart), The Colbert Report, The Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Inuyasha, Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Come on, theres a little Master Shake in all of us!)

"Most people have seen worse things in private than they pretend to be shocked at in public." Edgar Watson Howe

Books:


I love John Grishom novels, Oliver Twist, The Lorax, The Giving Tree, All Quiet on the Western Front, Animal Farm, Where the Wild Things Are, Enemy Pie, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail, The Hobbit, Alice Through The Looking Glass, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Hatmaker's Sign, The Bible, Where The Red Fern Grows, Charlotte's Web, The Raven, Memoirs of My Melancholy Whores, Infamous Scibblers, Of Mice and Men, All Quiet on the Western Front, Famous Pictures of Naked People. I realize that most of these are "children's books", but if you really read them now, you may find a deeper meaning that as a child you weren't able to grasp. You could be surprised as well as learn something. As for the Bible, that book is a great story. It has a very powerful, underlying message about love, compassion, and the nature of man to destroy himself from within, and if you read it and took it literally than you missed the point!
Your Element is Wood
Your power colors: green and brown
Your energy: generative
Your season: spring
Like a tree, you are always growing and changing.
And while your life is dynamic, you are firmly grounded.
You have high morals and great confidence in yourself and others.
You have a wide set of interests, and you make for intersting company. What Element Are You?
"I didn't recognize you. I've changed a lot." Oscar Wilde
"Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition."
Timothy Leary

Heroes:


Benjamin Frankilin, Hunter S. Thompson, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, George Carlin, FDR, Thomas Payne, Larry Flynt, and anybody else that calls it like they see it! These arent exactly heroes of mine but more people that I have come to respect for the road they have chosen: the one less traveled. I see these people as individuals that went against the grain of society in some way. I love people that rock the boat as long as they have a valid argument. I dont have to agree with you, but I have to understand the side that you are fighting for. I don't judge or force my opinions on you; this is America you are entitled to your own ideals. With that being said, give me the same courtesy.
"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dreamed before." The Raven- Edgar Allen Poe
