About Me

Sonnet #152

In loving thee thou know'st I am forsworn,
But thou art twice forsworn, to me love swearing,
In act thy bed-vow broke and new faith torn,
In vowing new hate after new love bearing.
But why of two oaths' breach do I accuse thee,
When I break twenty? I am perjured most;
For all my vows are oaths but to misuse thee
And all my honest faith in thee is lost,
For I have sworn deep oaths of thy deep kindness,
Oaths of thy love, thy truth, thy constancy,
And, to enlighten thee, gave eyes to blindness,
Or made them swear against the thing they see;
For I have sworn thee fair; more perjured I,
To swear against the truth so foul a lie!

Actor, dancer, etc.... aw heck, just check out my website at www.shannonlower.com . . .
Get this video and more at MySpace.com Stunt training in Berlin. Yeehaw! I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4....

My Interests

Acting, art, dance, music, filmmaking, animals, scary movies, writing, conversations about human nature, making fun of religious fanatics, peoplewatching, really bad karaoke singing, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (it sounds like rain), djembe drums, capoeira, CONGOLESE DANCE!, comic books, all kinds of new experiences....and labradoodles, just because the name is cute.

I'd like to meet:

People who look into the soul, with no preconceived ideas and expectations. Open-minded, not single-minded. Oh, and people in the entertainment field (because that's my job).

Music:

"The wheels on the bus go round and round...." hah!

Dancing at the weekly jazz jam session, with the fabulous Marvin Bugalu Smith, Douglas Bueno, Fitz Samm and Kevin Bujo Jones drumming!

Movies:

Anyone remember Flash Gordon?

Television:

Mildly addicted to Charmed. (Thou shalt not judge, heckler!) And the BBC mini-series "Jekyll".

Books:

"The System." Best bit of comedy I've read in years. For any man who's actually read this, here's a tip: You are NOT doing us ladies any favors. So just get that silly idea out of your head right now.

Heroes:

Katherine Hepburn. She was fearless. And Dorothy Parker.
