About Me

Judgement can be acquired only by acute observation, by actual experience in the school of life, by ceaseless alertness to learn from others, by study of the activities of men who have made notable marks, by striving to analyze the everyday play of causes and effects, by constant study of human nature.

"Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine".................................................... ....................................................."The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more of evil, than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good. Almost every thing, especially of governmental policy, is an inseparable compound of the two; so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.".................................................. ..............................................."Impossible is just a big word used by small men who find it easier to live in tha world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible isn't a fact, it's an opinion".................................................... .............................................Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again....................................................... .............................................Hi, My name is Lina. Here is a little about me. My number one passion is my mother, we fight and argue like all parents and children do, but when it comes down to it, she is the only one I can forever depend on 100%. That being said, I'm a music freak!!! BUT I only appreciate real music, the kind of music that Marvin and Luther brought to you when you had relationship problems or the type Nina Simone belted when she begged the one she loved to "Ne Me Quitte pas".... I"m a deep thinker and I try to make people see through the little hole that I see life through, but most of the time, they can't relate...I Love a good book, and am actually in the process of writing my first novel, which from my perspective is gonna be a masterpeice (I could be wrong). I love to travel, I've been many places, but my dream is to go on a road trip alone and drive from Los Angeles all the way back to NYC, just me and a couple of Frank Sinatra Cd's. To be free and on a highway alone for 72Hrs just seems relaxing to me, although I might have to put that trip off for a couple of months cause I don't drive yet :)!!! I love..love..love to eat (although I don't look like it) I'm part french so I really appreciate great food, although I'm hooked to Weinershneitzel!! I love to be in love, I'm a hopeless romantic, I want to please my lover in anyway possible mentally and emotionally, but I do think conversation is the most important thing in a relationship (Just my thoughts) I love animals, I have four dogs that are probably the best friends in my life. I have a great sister that I could not live without, if I have a question she will have the answer, plain and simple she's one of the smartest people I know the most interesting and the funnest although she has no idea. Yes I"m high maintnence but that's just because I appreciate lovely, quality items, to get my nails and feet done is relaxing and to get my hair styled makes me feel good, and yes I might spend an ubscene amount of money on a pair of shoes, but hey for all I know you only live ones. My family is my everything I dislike them at times, but that all changes when we get together and try to electric slide in a small section of the backyard. I love life, and everyday I try to be a kinder person and I work towards the person I want to be, which is at peace with everyone and evrything on this plane. Peace.And now a quote from our sponsors.................................................... ......You are not an accident. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He wanted you alive and created you for a purpose. Focusing on yourself will never reveal your purpose. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense. Only in God do we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny.
