Life is what you make it and all it takes is a simple choice

About Me

So...you'd like to know about me? To sum myself up in one word: QUIRKY! I have been proclaimed as a useless book of facts. So, ask me something...anything. Note: you are forewarned; if I can answer your question, you will most likely get more than you bargained for. I'm constantly looking for something more that is meaningful, rather than the mundane day-to-day life; to truly make a difference in the lives of those around me. I believe that there is a basic and innate goodness in every person; it just takes certain people, experiences, and circumstances to cultivate that. I'm not your everyday average person, and I pride myself on going against the grain. Life would be a lot less interesting if I chose to follow the footsteps of conforming society. Mark my words - You will know me, and I will make a difference!

My Interests

Playing piano is one of the talent's I hold close to my heart, because I am amazed at the ability my fingers have to work a piece of music...Chopin's Nocturne in E minor and Debussy's Clair de Lune (still working on it) are just simply beautiful. One day I will own a grande piano; mark my words. I'm into photography as well; mainly black and white. And again, mark my words; I will have a dark room some day as well. I love to cook and bake. If you want a good meal, give me a call. I make a good lasagna and a mean cheese steak (with real sirloin...yum).

I'd like to meet:

ANYONE AND EVERYONE! I'd like to meet anyone that can teach me something I don't already know. That's not an arrogant statement; I've got a desire to learn!

Music:

I listen to a variety of music: rock, alternative, country, celtic and new age (here's one of my quirks!), and anything else that tickles my fancy. Bon Jovi is my favorite band. I saw them in concert July 2006 at Soldiier Field, and it was the best experience. Note to self: must see Bon Jovi again!

Movies:

Movies are "wo"man's greatest invention...it gives those of us confined to reality a chance to hide from it for a while. As far as what I like...I'm a sucker for the romantic comedies (gotta love How To Lose A Guy in Ten Days). I strongly dislike the scary movies. If you ever want to scare the crap out of me while watching one of these movies, all you have to do is poke me in the arm at an intense moment and I'll jump sky high. A weakness, yes I know, but I'll resort to admitting it. If you want to see a completely wacked out movie, see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...would be great to watch while intoxicated! You wouldn't be boggled by why it just doesn't make sense.

Television:

Lost, House, Family Guy, Mind of Mencia, Grey's Anatomy...all the wonderful shows showcased on network T.V. Not everyone can afford cable or satellite. But...if I had the luxury of cable T.V. all I would be watching is the wonderful FOOD NETWORK!

Books:

I love to read! It's a great way to escape and expand on reality as well as your mind. The only thing in life we have complete control over is our mind, and books are an excellent way to explore it. Good books: Atlas Shrugged, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Di Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, The Red Tent, and believe it or not, Mindful Loving (if you want to gain a new/different outlook on life, I highly recommend it)

Heroes:

One person... God... I thank God every single day for the family and friends I have been blessed with. Without God, family and friends, I would not be the person I am today.
