About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

I am perfectly, imperfect, and believe in forgiving myself for that as I continually strive to be the best "me" that I can.
I understand in my head that the things most worth having, require the most work, and hope to one day have my heart understand that too.
"Its not about how hard you hit, what matters is how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."
I know that the Serenity Prayer is NOT just for Twelve Steppers.
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference."
Some days I think that if I just focused on my spiritual beliefs and how they pertain to my life, I would be much less confused. But I'm not quite certain how to throw psychology completely out the window.
I believe in true love and know in my husband I have found it.
My daughters are the most incredible beings I know. They posses more strength, beauty and compassion than I could have ever dreamed possible. And they are that of which I am most proud.

My Interests

Caleb, Lauren and Ari, MUSIC, sportbikes, the outdoors (especially during the summer), romance, being playful, people who don't suck, silliness, riding my bike, hiking writing poetry, reading, jet-skiing, snowmobiling, not filling out stuff about myself, blah blah blah.

I'd like to meet:

Those who are at least working on being truly happy.
HONEST, positive, uplifting, kind, open-minded, flawed, beautiful, creative, respectful, genuine, diverse beings.

Music:

Music for me is catharsis, and driven by my mood. A glimpse of artists that move me ~
My all time favorite singer is my husband. Yeah, that sounds like a bunch of blah blah, I know. But seriously, the first time I heard him sing, it made me melt. He has talent he doesn't even realize. And THANK GOD for that 'cause I would have had to dump him if he couldn't sing!! (JUST KIDDING! Maybe!) And I'm not easily impressed. Beyond the fact that he has a great voice, can pick out the coolest harmonies, writes awesome lyrics, and looks HOT while performing, I get to take him home and have my way with him, without being called a groupie!

I pretty much enjoy all types of music, excepting "gangsta rap" and country, although I can appreciate that some of the artists are talented, most of it simply doesn't do a thing for me, and GARAGE music.

Movies:

Fall, Immortal Beloved, Fight Club, Original Sin, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Notebook, In the Mouth of Madness, The Wedding Singer, almost anything in the horror genre, School of Rock, Wicker Park, Grind, In Love and War, Clifford, So I Married an Axe Murderer, The Passion of the Christ, SLC Punk, Pi, Disney/Pixar flicks, Requiem for a Dream, Napolean Dynamite, A Star is Born (Streisand/Kristofferson), Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, The Phantom of the Opera, Spun, and of late I've fallen in love with old black and white films like Now Voyager and Under a Blue Sky.!

Television:

I don't watch much TV. When it's on it's either late at night for a sit-com, or Discovery/History/PBS type stuff.

Books:

Shampoo Planet and anything else by Douglas Coupland, TechnoPagan Octopus Messiah, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Davinci Code, The Harry Potter Series.... etc

Heroes:
