About Me

Still adjutsing to my new place in the world ~ we'll all figure it out someday. I moved to seattle in November 2006. Since then my life has proved to be the most topsy turvey adventure. Plenty of high moments to speak of - matched and continually followed by blows, the things that bring us down. But I stay smiling and hoping for the best, and in this life you gotta have some bitter to know the taste of sweet. I sell cars, but that doesn't mean I lie. I eat tabasco like its going out of style but its ok. Seattle is now my HOME. I miss things back east, mostly family and some very special close friends, but have made a very cool nest for myself with the hand I have been delt out west. I love my life and I love everyone who has blessed me by being in it :) "Possitive VIbrations Yeah! POssitivly outta my HEAD" fantasy layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments

My Interests

Eating....drinking!! laughing!! In general I love to smile:) I dig dancin with no shoes on alot. Sunshine - festivals - old dirty hippies..:)) Skirts... Big trees,wildflowers -laying in grass. I like watching football with lots of beer and SUPER HOT wings. Go Pittsburg. I love live music and love it best when I can watch it outside. Love Bushwallers it is like my personal concert in a teeny tiny bar... Music!!!! HIKES :))) I like camping, hiking and some kayakin. Experincing and testing myself outdoors has proved to result in great life lessons. GIG HARBOR!! I like hanging with my girls - even though now we have to drink with eachother from 2,700 miles away via phone - we still get our quality time in! MY SISTERS. MY friends are the coolest.... I love being in the moutains - spending some quiet / away time. I am into being in awe of nature's splendor, being humbled by it's power and reminded of it's balance, it's laws of cause and effect, and karma. I like watching good things happen to people who really need it and like the way I get that "warms my heart" kinda feeling, I like that alot. I LOVE WINE + eating great foods ... and I have been known to get down with fatty grilled cheese for 1$.... ;)

Which VW Are You?
by Auto Glass AmericaAND MY LATEST OBSESSION - WALT WHITMAN ~ A FEW I RELATE WITH PERHAPS YOU CAN TOO :"I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best. ""I say to mankind, Be not curious about God. For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God - I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.""Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth."" After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on - have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear - what remains? Nature remains. ""I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers."

I'd like to meet:

The list will not even reflect everyone :) for starters... every musical interest I have - and author listed as well... oh yeah and --Oprah

Music:


The world needs music and so do I... Greatful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band, Little Feat, Bob Dylan, Sublime, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jethro Tull, Jack Johnson, Dave Mathews, Nora Jones, David Grey, Incubis, Ben Harper, Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, U2, Cold Play, Neil Young, Buring Spear, tool, primus, Bluegrass,folk,JAM BANDS, Reggae....the list goes on and on - not even scraping the surface of all the types I appreciate. Not to mention anything I might pick up along the way - I am always up for new artists and bands. Got anything good? I can't live without new music and my old standby's. Music to make me dance - laugh - cry - reflect - be sad - open up - introduce - listen - learn - be happy - get crazy. Can't imagine life without it ~ it's wonderfull!!!

Movies:

Love ALL Terrintino flicks. And I like the Big Leboski, Office Space....fear and loathing, dumb comedies and documentaries on things that make my world a bit larger after I see them I like movies - most kinds but NEVER SCARY KINDS - not a real huge movie freak though...

Television:

Reality TV is proof that society is pleased with starving our brains and imagination. I fucking hate junk TV and refuse to watch it, no matter what. Fake mindless shit does not appease me. Cartoons however, they do stimulate.I do get caught up in law and order, why??? No idea.

Books:

Love the Happy Potter stories -and any real life books written by people in or around the 60's and the hippy-like, bay atmosphere,bios on my favorite muscians. Dylan, The Dead, Janis...ect... "The Electric Kool-Ade Acid tests" by Tom Wole, "Still Life with Woodpecker" Love the beatnik writers also late 40's early 50's. Burroughs " Naked Lunch" ect..., Keroak, Diane Di Prima and the rest.... Bill Bryson's books " A Walk in the Woods" is still my fav. I am open to alot of writers, I like to read and hear - all kinds of different things :)Give me any suggestions!

Heroes:

Anyone who has the courage to stand up against the masses in fighting for what is the right thing to do, even if it is not the easy thing to do. Good parents (and my parents) AND The Pittsburg Steelers!
