My Interests



Sadly, nobody can ever owe you some kind of love. It's given, or not, but you can't keep a balance book for love. Love isn't logic or math or science. -Chris Isaak

Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them, but they are always there.

You Are an Old Soul
You are an experienced soul who appreciates tradition.
Mellow and wise, you like to be with others but also to be alone.
Down to earth, you are sensible and impatient.
A creature of habit, it takes you a while to warm up to new people.

You hate injustice, and you're very protective of family and friends
A bit demanding, you expect proper behavior from others.
Extremely independent you don't mind living or being alone.
What Kind of Soul Are You?

St. Theresa's Prayer: May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.... May you be content knowing you are a child of God.... Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

Deep within us-no matter who we are-there lives a feeling of wanting to be lovable, of wanting to be the kind of person that others like to be with. And the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving.-Mr. Rogers

"Life isn't like a bowl of cherries or peaches, it's more like a jar of Jalapenos--what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow......"-Unknown

I'd like to meet:

Vince Young, Colt McCoy, Mack Brown, Brett Favre, Tom Brady, Josh Duhamel, Tom Welling, Joaquin Pheonix, Reese Witherspoon, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Tobey Keith, Dave Matthews, Rob Thomas, any Longhorn fan, the list is endless...

Our capacity to make peace with another person and with the world depends very much on our capacity to make peace with ourselves." -Thich Nhat Hanh

"Things that are real are always given and received in silence."-Meher Baba

Choice, not Chance determines our destinies.-Unknown

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.~anonymous~

The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is not a problem of physics but of ethics. It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil from the spirit of man.-Albert Einstein

Never take away someone's hope...it may be all they have.~anonymous~

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.~ghandi

Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.~unknown

Knowing is better than wondering, waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying.~ Stolen from Tara's page! Thanks!

Love is like a car accident...you never know when it could happen, and you never know how messy it is going to be. ~Chris Garver, Miami Ink

Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.-Mr. Rogers

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.~Audrey Hepburn

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you have decided to see beyond the imperfections. ~unknown

You don't get to choose. You just fall.~unknown

Don't wait for the one you can live with, wait for the one you can't live without.~unknown

"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived". William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins), Meet Joe Black

If you don't stand behind our troops, please, feel free to stand in front of them! ~unknown

Music:

everything...I will listen to just about anything except Alicia Keys. I like mostly older stuff, classic rock and 80's hair bands. I LOVE Cross Canadian Ragweed and Pat Green. Chris Isaak and Jack Johnson hold special places in my heart as do Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bob Segar all for very different reasons.

Movies:

RENT, Harry Potter series (I know I'm a nerd), nothing that involves blood and guts, but basically everything else...I do like a good chick flick.

Television:

GREY'S ANATOMY!!!!!!! american idol, and CSI:Las Vegas...those are my must sees...but I really like home makeover shows...there's this one on A&E called Flip this House...I love it....probably b/c I am still a renter...

Books:

lets just say if it has pages I will read it

Heroes:

my dad, and my brother, my Pa-Paw...any person who has served or is serving our country in the military, no matter what branch, active or reserves.

My Blog

A year sometimes makes a HUGE difference....

I am sitting here in my office today, trying to ignore the people I work with and keep myself busy for the next 8 hours...I stuck my head phones in, and cranked Jack Johnson's new CD up, but I can sti...

Holy Crap!

This time last year I was really unhappy. I was working at a go no-where job, dating no one, and really was bummed. Things have done a 180 since then. I am working at a good job (granted I am over wor...

Dryer Sheets and Broken Hearts

This is a story.   It starts at a concert with a boy protecting me from crowd surfers falling on my head.  I was always a sucker for boys who like to protect and take care of me.  He w...

It's all okay...

It's strange. Something just occurred to me. It's all okay. No matter what I do I will be fine. Everything has a way of working itself out. I have heard many people say that, and now I know what they ...

The beginning...

Tomorrow is my first day at my new job. I am kinda nervous, and excited at the same time. I haven't changed jobs in 7 years, and honestly if Dillard's would have treated me better I probably wouldn't ...
