The beingness of me...

About Me

So I'm supposed to write about myself. This is always more difficult than writing about somebody else. I could tell a thousand story's about thing's that have happened to me. Like that time Cynthia and I got lost on our way to Montgomery, LA, or that time that Kara and I called that "talk-line" on 3 way and pretended we were siamese twins. But talking about myself almost seems absurd, you probably haven't even read this far but here goes: I'm a student of life, after realizing there's no such thing as a "real paycheck" without a piece of paper saying you're intelligent, I've made the decision to go back to school. I'm majoring in Healthcare Administration and have been working for a Nursing Home for several years now. I'm getting married in November in Rome, the lucky bastard's name is Jason and I brought him back from Alabama to live with me here in Shreveport. We've been together about 5 years now and it's been okay I guess. I'm a little nervous. I lurk these myspace pages and see all my friends from high school married, with kids and here I'm just now starting out. I guess I just wanted to make sure it was right, you know. Anyway, I have a gorgeous American Bulldog named Honey. She's like my child, but I have no children of my own. I heard the other day that I may be an aunt soon. I'm in the middle of a couple of books I'm writing, but they're comming along pretty slowly. I am nervous about them too. Anyway, If you've made it all the way down here without falling asleep, kudos!
"I cannot exist without you. I am forgetful of everything but seeing you again. My life seems to stop there, I see no further. You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I were dissolving. I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion... I have shudder'd at it... I shudder no more. I could be martyr'd for my religion: Love is my religion. I could die for that. I could die for you. My creed is love, and you are its only tenet. You have ravish'd me away by a power I cannot resist."-Keats

My Interests

Art, especially bad art... I love crappy pieces of pottery or paintings. I like the golden girls too. My favorite animal is the three toed sloth, only because they are more agressive than the two toed version. Who actually reads this stuff?

I'd like to meet:


Ayn Rand is probably at the top of my list... second to that Johnny Cash... Jesus... and Mother Theresa...

Maybe even Sandra Bullock. ..

Music:

Anything folksy. I have a passion for things that are passionate. I'm not into screamo really, or country, or rap... I prefer something that's pleasing to the ears and I can still understand the words to so I can sing to my showerhead and to my dog.

Movies:

I watched Magnolia and was awe-struck. I had heard from some that it was wonderful, and from some that it was awful. I think that it is wonderful for those who finally get the point. It doesn't matter what you do, or say, or feel, if you are not true to yourself, and those who love you, one day you will regret it and it will become a fate worse than death.

Television:

I watch HGTV and the travel channel mostly. It keeps me motivated to try to achieve shiny things.

Books:

Ayn Rand, Aldous Huxley, Vonnagut, I like books I can lose myself in, and people I can lose myself in. I'm reading Malcom Gladwells "Blink" right now... it's pretty interesting. Along with a 1891 verson of "American Linguistics" that I found at a garage sale.

Heroes:

Gary Busey. "This camera has a bomb in it, that could blow your grandmother into sixty-four-thousand pieces."

I had forgotten what it felt like...

Loving is not just something we do because we want to. It is something we do because we have to. I may say to myself "I love you, because I want to love you" but what my heart is saying is I love you ...
