About Me

I am an avid lover of life.... I want to live it to the fullest! I am over eager (to a fault) about everything I don't know. At times I wish I didn't have to sleep, clean or take care of myself because I would rather be learning. Couldn't live without my cats, the sound system in my car, drum n' bass, water, and of course my family & friends. I absolutely loathe ignorance although at times it would be a nice break. I am in awe of peple who have the energy to make environmental activism their #1 priority. I learned a long time ago that you have to give everyone the benefit of the doubt because you never know what they are going through. I definitely ascribe to the motto: whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I know the mind has a more profound affect on the body than most people want to admit. I am obsessed with music, clothes, nutrition, & honesty. I am the proud product of a pair of High School sweethearts who are going on 31 years. I wish I had a horse and a garden. I want to make lots of money so I can contribute to candidates who don't give a damn about corporate money but care about the environment. I think recycling shouldn't be a choice. I am a stickler for spelling - so boys if you write me a love letter and there are spelling errors - I will lose all respect and never see you in the same light - ever -ever - again. Recently I got 'Thug Life' tatooed on my low back - if you get to know me, you'll know why, bitches!

My Interests

Nutrition, music, random humor, anusara yoga, dancing-hip-hop/pop-lock, skateboarding, staying informed with current events and issues that determine the parameters of freedom.
