About Me

I'm a peaceful person who loves to take life easy. Sun in Pisces, Moon in Taurus and Libra rising..not a lot of fire in me. I love the earth and all living things. I am in awe of raptors and crystals. I have collected quartz and amethyst crystals for years, digging most of them from the earth. I love my gemstones and believe in their healing and protective qualities. I love all stones, mostly in raw form. They have character and every one I have ever picked up still has a place with me. One of my favorites is a smooth, heart-shaped piece of granite I found in a stream bordering the Cherokee reservation in the mountains of NC.I love animals..all creatures great and small.I'm not on here to pick up people; but for friends, family and music...mostly music. I don't have a lot of real friends who even do MySpace but I love the fact I can have all this music and information on new CDs, concerts, etc. at my fingertips. I like to check out other people's photos and music and have met a lot of new players on here with some great talent.I am very turned off by arrogant, opinionated, loud, and boastful people. I can't stand name-dropping. I like it mellow, from my friends to my wine. I am pretty much a nature worshiper...I like to go out in the evening or early morning when all is quiet and just breathe and watch the sky . I love walking in the woods or diving into a dark lake . I love the earth, the water, all the elements. I will drive 100 miles on country roads to avoid interstates. I enjoy my children and grandchildren's visits, and I love to cook elaborate meals if I have someone to talk to while I stand in the kitchen. I work hard on my career and when my day is done, I completely relax at home with my dogs and cats. I love good books, movies and music. I've had a lot of relationships in my life and have learned a lot of lessons from each of them. I grew up in a small town in NC and went on to live in a lot of major cities..LA, NY, Miami. I also lived/relaxed in some happier places such as Hot Springs, VA and St. Simons Island, GA. I have a selection of wonderful friends that I've known for a long time and love to light a candle, sip some wine and have long distance phone visits. I love visits from my children and the fun we have together, with our mutual musical interests. I have some great times with family when I see them. I live all year for my trips out west to see my very best friends and share the wonderful, laid back lifestyle they have with their horses. I never had a great ambition, never wanted much other than a horse. I intend to have that horse and find my Nirvana before this party is over. Meanwhile, I'll just keep on appreciating my blessings and the earth's offerings.

Good friends

I'd like to meet:

Some of the people I've met in dreams...I fly in my dreams, meet a lot of kindred spirits, and sometimes am very dismayed to wake up and lose them.There are some others I'd like to meet...in my dreams...I was always attracted to the wild ones

Music:

I've been around a while and have always loved music. In the sixties, it was the Beatles and other British bands and of course...The Doors. In the 70s, I loved it all and hit every rock concert I could travel to. I will never forget the Eagles playing four straight hours in Greensboro NC at a standing-room only concert with Fleetwood Mac. I loved all the 80s music. I have two favorite soundtracks that I have heard a million times: "Lost Highway" and "Natural Born Killers". Some of my faves include Angelo Badalamenti, Leonard Cohen, Larry Carlton, Eric Clapton, Julee Cruise, David Bowie, Deep Forest, Def Leppard, Depeche Mode, Dire Straits, The Doors, The Eagles, Eurythmics, Billy Idol, Eric Johnson, Kansas, Leon Russell, The Moody Blues, Gary Moore, Alberto Parmegiani, Lorenzo Petrocca, Pink Floyd, Queen, Tony Lowe, Trent Reznor, Rammstein, Roy Orbison, Joe Satriani, Slash and old GNR, Steve Stevens, Steve Vai, and Eddie Van Halen. I love a variety of music, just love good players and good tunes. I LOVE GUITARS.I might light some candles and listen to some jazz, or dance to Van Dyk or Tiesto with my Golden Retriever.

Movies:

Suspense, thrillers, drama..Movies, I take very seriously. I get lost in a good movie.

Television:

just YouTube

Books:

Good novels by good authors, including (but not limited to) Animal Speak, Beloved/Paradise by Toni Morrison; Carrie, Gerald's Game, The Shining, It, Cujo, Firestarter, Rose Madder and The Stand by Stephen King. All of Cormac McCarthy's books, The Education of Little Tree; everything Larry Brown wrote, Sophie's Choice by William Styron...The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy...Peachtree Road and The House Next Door by Ann Rivers Siddons in her early days. There are literally thousands of wonderful books I could recommend; just don't have the space and time.

Heroes:

Nathan Bedford Forrest, first and foremost. He was so overlooked; betrayed by commanders and hunted relentlessly by his enemies. He was so strong, so handsome, who with less than a year of formal education made a million by age 40. He was wounded four times during the civil war, had 29 horses shot out from under him and killed 30 damned Yankees in hand-to-hand combat. I don't approve of his "grand wizard" regime (from which he did recover and repent), but he was one bad-ass soldier. Other heroes include Tecumseh, Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph and other Native Americans who had such a perfect world until we came along and ruined it all.
