Loving and living, in that order.

About Me

So, here's the deal. I'm from a small town in the Deep South. I don't have a heavy drawl, but I do have an accent. I'm happily wed to my best friend; the journey with him thus far has been amazing. Lately I've aspired to be like this intro- short, sweet, and to the point. (In case you didn't get it, that's the end of my intro, Einstein.)

My Interests

Reading interesting blogs, listening to all kinds of music, art, comedy, life and living it in a worthwhile way. That should take up a big chunk of my time, right?
What Your Soul Really Looks Like
You are a wanderer. You constantly long for a new adventure, challenge, or eve a completely different life.

You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds.

You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you.

Your near future is calm, relaxing, and pretty much what you want. And it's something you've been anticipating for a while now.

For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust. Inside the Room of Your Soul

I'd like to meet:

It's pretty simple... people that have some doggone sense and USE it. What can I say; gotta start somewhere. On the other hand, nowadays I might have the bar raised too high from the outset. I guess we shall see, ladies and gentlemen... let the side show begin!

Music:

If you've looked at my page more than once, it's evident that I love all kinds of music. The song that's playing probably won't be here for long. I'm loyally fickle to all the genres that are music (oxymoronic, isn't it?) Neo-soul (misnomer, if you ask me), gospel, R & B, the classics... classical, funky blues, bluesy funk, rock, eclectically syncopated rhythm accompanied by thought provoking lyrical content... or no... Music that says something without the need for words and when the artist decides to use words it makes perfectly blended sense in and out of the rhythm. Do you have interesting music on your page? Hit me up, I love to be aesthetically piqued by the unknown and the familiar... oh, I was supposed to put artist names here? My bad. (laughing heartily)

Heroes:

If you've lived your life in a worthwhile way, you're someone's hero, whether you realize it or not.

My Blog

You see, the problem is...

I got busy trying to be someone I'm not.  Additionally I tried to do some things that the person I was trying to be would be qualified to do, but alas, I'm not that person.  Who's that perso...

Thou shalt not have...

unrealistic expectations.  Yeah... unrealistic expectations.  In the day and age in which we live,  I think it's a good amendment to the Ten Commandments (although they don't need chang...

Go figure

The other night, I pulled out some photos.  I was looking for some pics of college friends and myself, but I ended up finding a wealth of photos of my little sister.  As I sat there, a ...

... is it, really?

In the Bible it says that obedience is better than sacrifice... is it, really? I've always taken that to mean that it is better to do what you know to be right (what you've been taught) than to g...

Cut the fat

Every now and again, it's good to get rid of your excess baggage.  That could be anything from crap you've been storing in the junk drawer at your house or in the garage, to your bad habits, or p...

Stir it up

Have you ever been going about your day and suddenly, a thought/memory pops to the forefront of your mind?  I don't mean like where you put your car keys or the name of that song that's been runn...

Perpetuation

When you're little, practically all you want is to be older.  People ask you all the time, "what do you want to be when you grow up?"  They make it sound like being a 'grown-up' is the prove...

Bustin' loose

My current contact box is a still from the movie, The Shawshank Redemption.  This is if not my all-time favorite movie, it is in the top 3.  For those who haven't seen the movie or remember ...

Take... me

The vast majority of our lives, we are taught that to make friends, you should show yourself to be friendly.  Most of us were taught or saw social graces which allowed us to find our way amongst ...

Ya know...

Even when you make a royal butt of yourself, something good can come of it.  When your plans fall through; I mean REALLY fall through... when they've gone through the floor to rock bottom and som...
