About Me

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly." - Chuang Tse.. AtomFilms.com : Funny Videos | Funny Cartoons | Comedy Central“Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.”—William James (1842-1910), psychologist, philosopher, author butterfly myspace layout Hmmm...well I am the middle child of Irish immigrant parents...so I'm first generation American but because I am the 1st generation here, I am also technically an Irish citizen. Which is cool because if our president continues on the path we are on- he might not have a clear "exit strategy" but I do. I would love one day to return to my homeland. I went back home for the first time in 15 years this past April and almost never came back.People who know me, think of me when they see a butterfly. I've been volunteering at the Museum of Natural History's Butterfly exhibit for the past 5 years and raising and releasing Monarch butterflies in season. Plus, the past few years I've been bringing the butterflies to the people via a traveling exhibit which is basically a 10x13 screened in mesh tent filled with Milkweed, Monarch butterfly eggs, caterpillars, chrysalis and of course live Monarch butterflies. At the end of every exhibit- all the butterflies are released into the wild.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Okay so I already have but we might be working together: ..“No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.”—Voltaire (1694-1788) philosopher, authorThat's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end. - Lise Hand, describing Irish journalist Veronica Guerin, who was killed as a result of her investigations of Irish organized crime.
