My Interests

Things that I ♥: reading, watching movies, relaxing, watching a good concert, watching TV, taking long showers, the rain, the ocean, Brodie, my feet buried in warm beach sand, sleeping in my bed, Starbucks iced green tea unsweetened, chocolate, ice cream, being done with the last final exam of the semester, coming home from work or school, when Brodie cuddles with me, clean sheets, shopping at Barnes & Noble, discovering a great book or band, hearing that song on the radio that you haven't heard in years, having a cool customer at work, getting a piercing or tattoo, haircuts, pedicures, having conversations late into the night with interesting people, manicures, going to pay for something that you really like & finding out its on sale, traveling, hanging out with friends, hearing a song that takes you back to that one time & place, spending time with my family, making someone smile, catching up on the phone with my best friends for hours, spending all day doing nothing, looking up at the stars, roadtrips, laughing so hard my face hurts, not having to set my alarm before bed, putting on my pjs, finding money in some random place, a good quote, the way he can relay baseball information at any time, his hugs...
Quotes "There are moments when one feels free from one's own identification with human limitations and inadequacies. At such moments one imagines that one stands on some spot of a small planet, gazing in amazement at the cold yet profoundly moving beauty of the eternal, the unfathomable; life and death flow into one, and there is neither evolution nor destiny; only Being."
-Albert Einstein
"What does not kill me makes me stronger."
-Friedrich Nietzsche"The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenly, divinely aware."
-Henry Miller"I'm open for business. The business of kickin your ass. And business is boomin'. Business is givin' you the business...up your butt."
-Meatwad"While the human spirit was freed up from old categories of thought, we are forced to find our own paths in a chaotic & fragmented world that is even more dangerous than the all-encompassing one we left behind."
-Jeremy Rifkin"Destiny is not fate, but rather opportunity waiting to be seized & acted upon."
-unknown"Performing enhancing drugs are banned in the Olympics. Ok, we can swing with that. But performance debilitating drugs should not be banned. Smoke a joint and win the hundred meters, fair play to you. That's pretty damn good. Unless someone's dangling a Mars bar off in the distance."
-Eddie Izzard"Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
The Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
Alice: How do you know I'm mad?
The Cat: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here."
-Lewis Carroll"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits."
- Albert Einstein"A successful man is one who can earn more money than his wife can possibly spend. A successful woman is one who can find that man."
-Anonymous"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
-Albert Einstein"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." -Mark Twain
