I have found the answer is to love you and be loved by you.

About Me

I'm generally a predictable person. I don't create drama in my life nor in the lives of others. My life is relatively simple and I like it that way. I'm here on myspace to keep up with old and current friends, as well as meet new ones. But, I am NOT interested in finding my husband through the Internet! That's just creepy! So if I don't know you and you ask me out through myspace, the answer is NO.As the profile name implies, I'm a drummer. I've played for about 25 years and I love it. Playing music is my passion! I play the drums at the main campus of River of Life Church in Riverview on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Come check us out!I'm an aunt to 2 nephews and a niece. I love them all a lot and I enjoy any time that I get to spend with them.I'm single with no kids.I'm an accountant working in local government. My primary responsibility is treasury management. I really enjoy what I do. I pity people who go to a job every day that they hate! I was born to do what I'm doing so it's not work for me. My job is fast-paced, challenging, demanding! My career goals include becoming a CPA, a Certified Treasury Professional (CTP), and a certified fraud examiner (CFE). I'll be starting my master's degree very soon, majoring in forensic accounting, so that I can sit for the professional exams that will lead me to these certifications.That probably covers it all. If you need to know anything else, just ask. And welcome to my page!

My Interests

My main interest is just being the best I can be at whatever I happen to be doing at the moment. In my spare time, I play drums. I LOVE college football games. I'm a season ticket holder for the USF Bulls football team so you'll find me at their home games and away games in Florida. I like to watch college basketball games too. I like learning about people and events in history. These are my drums:And these are my BULLS:

Generally just college football and basketball games. I especially follow USF (my alma mater) but I'll watch just about any college team. I don't think there's anything worthwhile on TV to watch but I used to be a big fan of The West Wing when it was on. If I watch TV, I like it to be smart, fastpaced, and realistic...

Relative part I

It's popular today to believe that truth is relative. By this, I mean that there are no absolute standards of right and wrong.  There are no standard ways to conduct ourselves. Relativism states...

What just happened?

I can't believe USF played so poorly today. What in the world happened??? Our defense couldn't tackle, couldn't cause turnovers, couldn't make stops on a mediocre Louisville offense. Our offense could...

A candidate for the poor people?

Joe Biden and his wife made more than $300,000 in declared income last year and gave just $995 to charity. Amazing! In fact, over the past 10 years, Joe Biden has consistently given less than 1/2 of 1...
