Music makes life much more manageable

About Me


You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination take you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses. ~Uh, not so much with the rose colored glasses or forgiveness. Hmmm, tolerant mostly except for stupid people. ;oP
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life. ~Not true, I hope for positive but expect negative. :o(
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul
You Are 48% Feminine, 52% Masculine -- uh oh!
You are in touch with both your feminine and masculine sides.
You're sensitive at the right times, but you don't let your emotions overwhelm you.
You are the best of both genders. ~Yay!
You Are 50% Left Brained, 50% Right Brained
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.
The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. ~Does this mean I'm 'half-assed'???
You Are More Like Angelina Jolie -- Hellz Yeah!
Bad girl with a heart of gold.
You are smart, sexy, and strong willed.
You aren't against stealing another girl's man...
If he's better off with you! ~Sadly, I think this one is wrong but I'm just so thrilled at any comparison to Angelina (no matter how meager) that I posted it anyway; I am a schmuck.
You Are Chocolate Caramel Kiss Lip Gloss
Saying that you're one of a kind is ... well ... an understatement.
You're unusual, quirky, wacky - and you love to challenge people.
And you are a total trendsetter. Your friends are quick to copy your fashion and music tastes.
Which is why chocolate caramel is your perfect flavor. It's as rare and outrageous as you are.
SHITE, these things are addictive! Last one, I swear...
You Are Low Maintenance
Otherwise known as "too good to be true" ~ooooh!
You're one laid back chica - and men love that!
Just remember that no good guy likes a doormat.
So if you find yourself going along to get along... ~NEVER!
Stop yourself and put up a little bit of a fight. ~Pumping my fist. ;o)
I am left-handed and right-handed but I am not ambidextrous. I write with my left hand but use my right hand for running with scissors (cutting, I mean cutting!), swinging a baseball bat or tennis racket; I throw a ball with my left hand (unless it's a bowling ball and then it's the right hand). Yeah, mixin' it up baby! I swear there's got to be a method to my madness but I haven't figured it out just yet. I can be wacky or serious but don't take me for a fool. I loveloveLOVE music and I do believe that I like songs in every single genre that exists. I really enjoy dancing and singing; I'm not particularly great at either but that is unimportant. I'd love to (and probably will) take Ballet even though I am well past what is considered the "appropriate" age. Ya gotta have a goal! Do ya have a goal? I like NASCAR and monster trucks but I am not a red neck so don't even play! I'm a walking, talking contradiction -- holy shite! I'm sometimes agnostic and sometimes atheist, it just depends on how hard a person is trying to cram his or her religious beliefs down my throat. I am both stubborn and easy-going, depends upon the glint in my eye; you've got to know how to read it or you're in for some pain. I like to be contrary and LOVE being sarcastic! What you see is most definitely NOT what you get and I defy anyone to prove otherwise. I am pissed off about the hijacking of our country in 2000 and again in 2004 and the fact that nobody else seems terribly bothered by this. Seriously, WTF!?!?!? I've grown to appreciate people who are brave enough to do their own thing and thumb their noses at "society" -- you know who you are and you ROCK! Although, this does not include the people that are too lazy or ignorant to learn how to spell, use correct grammar, or pronounce shit like 'NU-CLE-AR'; for them I say: Smarten up, jerkweeds! Oh, that reminds me: Paul has satellite radio in his car and there's a station that plays some pretty cool music and there is a DJ whose name is 'John Digweed'. I think it sounds fantastically raunchy and porn-esque even ('member 'Dirk Digler'? You 'member!); it's a wonderfully fun name that just sort of rolls off the tongue and demands that you compliment it! Oh yeah, I like to be random and change subjects at the drop of a hat...or a dime, for that matter. I want to get race tires for my truck; you know, the yellow letter tires you see on race cars - yes, THOSE! They rock hard core baby! A nice set of black matte wheels would do nicely too; oh yeah. Are you feelin' it? Stay tuned, this message will not, I repeat, will NOT self-destruct as it is a work in progress. Peace ~ M

My Interests

An ever-growing list of random items

I'd like to meet:

I have a hard time with people that 'drink the kool-aid' and spew none of their own thoughts or feelings. Don't do that, don't drink the friggin' kool-aid; THINK and SPEAK for yourself and say "Screw you!" to anyone that judges you for it! I tend to ramble so bear with me...I have zero time or inclination to surround myself with anyone who is intolerant, prejudiced, racist, or concerns themselves with the personal aspects of other people's lives (when not specifically asked to do so). I believe in a very simple and basic principle: be a good person. If you believe that too then we cool; if not, you know what to do.

Music:

I love music! I am unbelievably thankful for the gift of hearing. Not only to be able to hear my precious little boy laugh and talk to me but to also hear all of the great many things that are a part of our world. Like music: it is the soundtrack of life, it can bring people together and can help us feel as though we are a part of something bigger (actually, looking at mountains helps me feel that way too). I find it empowering and vital to my physical and mental well being. It can be a balm to soothe my soul and relax me, an outlet which allows me to feel and channel my pain, anger, and frustration, or a catalyst with which to motivate me and keep my spirits high. It is a memory-maker, a story-teller, so many things...music is...everything! It exudes raw emotion, mystery, and depth; it is a precious resource available to each of us simply because of the uniquely talented individuals that share their gift with us -- thank you!
