About Me

i think dread is the knowledge of what you must do to prove you are free - even if it will destroy you. HOPE like dread, often comes un-announced and then thankfully intoxicates us and innoculates our feelings with an irrational sence of joy and optimism. HOPE is the high and dread is the low, i guess life is the stuff in between......thank GOD for confusion and the inevitable anticipation it is sure to produce, of the mystery that unfolds before us with every step we take into the "feared" unknown. FEAR, if you allow it, robs you of the mystery and kaliedascope like facination of what APPEARS TO YOU as the trivial, monotony of everyday simplicity. "FEAR is the killer of mind" and the velvet rope between you and permanent adventure. its all about calculated risk....here are the NFL Highlights of my life:went to Creative and Performing Arts School from 4th -12th grades (majoring in Dance and Acting) Got a scholarship to college because of my accomplishments in Technical Theatre (Building Sets and Designing Light Plots) Got a degree in Biology - (worked my way thru school as a Phlebotomist/Microbiology Lab Tech) Became a Histologist ( did autopsies for a living, worked in forensic science) Became an Ethnographer *look it up* ( wish i still was and am hoping to retire as such) Became a Mortgage Broker....(owned a successful brokerage/managed brokerages) Deteriorating market conditions forced me to sell joint venture capital....only to find that $ is just another "SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE" drug and is no different than crack or meth. i am currently a full time working actress/model.....welcome to my self inflicted curse;)its been a short but eventfull 36 years.i used to have a life......now all i have is a mission........I got my layout at CleanupMyspace.com | Free Myspace Layouts ..

I'd like to meet:

pay close attention to this one. Villany wears many masks...none so dangerous as the mask of VIRTUE. with that said....Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel..... dont forget to sleep, because sleep is the gateway to our dreams and if you think about it, our dreams construct our map of humanity. Id like to meet People my own age who have similar interests. Im into music, books and the local art scene (what there is of it) indie films.
