About Me


Want to know about me? Ask me. My mom is from Germany. I am abstract, unpredictable. Risk. Chances. Change. I'm bored of what is safe. I may be crazy, but I'm not lazy! Wanna play? Flames and ice...come on and have a go. I can be rough and I can be gentle. Take your chance. I won't waste your time. Don't waste mine. I am married and separated. I am vicious and sweet. I am extroverted, spontaneous, antisocial, impossible, loved, and I love fiercely. Wicked, dark, and silly sense of humor. Take a look at the G-8 photographs, they are great. LOVE THEM. HAPPINESS. Here is the updated deal. I either want to play or be left ALONE. Kathy Griffin, Eddie Izzard, and Bill Hicks rock my world. I would rather be laughing. Why isn't there more of this?

I'd like to meet:

Everyone I've met, and everyone I am to meet. "The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men." -Leonardo Da Vinci. Description: I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't.... The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further. - Mark Twain - Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. - George Orwell, Animal Farm - I abhor vivisection with my whole soul. All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence. - Mahatma Gandhi - As we treat animals, so we will treat people - the same lack of empathy and compassion is responsible for both. - David Icke - Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. - Albert Einstein - Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it's beauty. - Albert Einstein
