About Me

..This profile was edited with MySpace Help - Profile Creator and Editor MySpace Profile Help!I was cursed with an incurable wanderlust and curiosity complex. I wake up every morning amazed that I even woke up. And the adventure starts all over again!Originally from upstate New York, I grew up in Raleigh, Memphis...that's right, the hood. Looking back, life was tough, but we didn't know it. A poor kid from the wrong side of the tracks, I grew up with a classical education and learned from some of the best teachers the state of Tennessee had to offer. I guess who I am has never really been "acceptable" in the eyes of the world and I am constantly aware of the fact that I am FAR from perfect. Heck even my birthday, the exact cusp of Sagittarius and Scorpio, if you're in to that sort of stuff, was confused! Home life was rough, school life was rough, work life was rough, the two years I spent in college were rough...it seems most of the time I'm fighting an uphill battle just to make it through the day.Shy on the inside and always the small kid, I've learned to SPEAK UP OR BE TRAMPLED! You can usually find me fighting on the side of the underdog against overwhelming odds. Constantly being forced to "reinvent" myself, I seem to have developed a knack for getting in to mischief and out of trouble. Hey, I do what I can to get by.But "the poor man has the gift of faith", and I believe that some day God is going to tie all of the these conflicting loose ends together in a way that will glorify Him and testify to others that He is real and He wants more than anything for us to know Him. I believe He speaks in ways that constantly confuse the proud and high things of this world and minister to the humble, the lowly, the poor in spirit. He is the God of those in need. His ways are always beyond my understanding, and if I listen carefully with an open heart I'll find Him on His terms, not my own.

Ever present darkness/Ever present light

The sky rolls and all turns to dusk Shade becomes shadows What ground is this, what shifting sand? Firm footing flees as the path grows dim Stand still?  Keep moving? Which way is right?  ...

About School

Grandparents amaze me.  They have a curious way of saying exactly what needs to be said without saying anything at all.  My grandmother gave me this narrative the other day.  She says i...

Where life begins and ends

It's calling me.  24 hours away.  Home...I can barely remember what it feels like.  The smell of spruce.  The whisper of a breeze through the pine.  The clouds, like ghosts o...

A real woman

Yesterday a friend expressed her frustration of how impossible it seemed to live up to the standards of being a "godly" woman.  She was tired of never meeting the approval of "Christian...

Got it, want it, need it

Ummm...God...you promised you'd take care of me. "Yep" Well, are you SURE this is what I need?  I mean...I need to spend time praying and reading my Bible.  And I have to mow the lawn. ...

I probably shouldn't

But I will... So one day a priest, a rabbi, and the Dali Lama all walk into my church together...and the pastor looks over and says "Hey!  Is this some kind of a joke?"

Tool...A music band...they've been around for a while.  Why do I like them?  It's hard to explain.  I shouldn't...I shouldn't like them...but I do...when I hear them I just have to list...
