I am here for Friends

About Me

REALLY QUICK ... GIANTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! GIANTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! GIANTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Ok now... lol According 2 my friends it was time 2 revamp my “about me” section so I set aside valuable time to amuse them with words. HERE YOU GO .... I have two beautiful daughters who have been breaking my heart and making me deliriously happy since the day they were born. It’s pleasure and pain to watch them grow up, pleasure when you share moments with them and painful when you realize that some moments have simply passed you by. I am not without baggage and I choose to embrace that baggage because IT’S MINE and has shaped who I was, who I am and who I will become. I live by faith, when life hands me a burden my faith tells me that it’s simply another valley I have to walk through with dignity and grace in order to find my place on the hill tops. I find calm in the face of adversity, humbleness in the face of great accomplishments, strength in the face of pain, grace in the face of hatred, and choose to leave every situation with dignity so I will always find quiet within…

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You know what .... Honestly, I have all the good close friends in the world that I need. I have wonderful daughters and a strong faithful family. So Im good for close friendships in such. If we are talking about just meeting folks ... shoot anyone I love people they fascinate me. And before you CREEPIES start sending me messages asking me to meet you on some dark deserted highway or even in a crowded diner for that matter... I am friendly but Im not tryin to get killed so dont bother!

There is only one thing we can do....

Last night I was thinking about my life and remembering how important music has been. So often I used music to lift me up, there were times where really that was all I had to inspire me.   ...
