If you can't amuse yourself, who can you amuse?

About Me

I'm a lover not a fighter...I'm a mutt - I've lived all over the country: on both coasts, in the South, in the Midwest, in suburbs, in a city, on the road, with musicians, with hippies, with nerds, by myself, and I have to say, with absolute confidence, I love life - it has been good to me, and I try, dammit I try, to be good to it...I love to dance. Sometimes you can find me boogie-ing on the street corner, groovin' to the tunes in my head. People ask me why, I just reply - "because, I can't help it...", plus maybe they're getting some amusement they so badly needed that dayI love to be on stage. I am currently MFAing for it - so I can be certifahd. I love it, absolutely could not imagine doing anything else. It's my passion, my reason for being here - to entertain, to tell stories, to explore other worlds that I otherwise would not get to explore. It's almost unexplainable, you know, that primal rumbling in your gut, the verve and tingle of your skin when your mid-emotion on stage...intangible...I love women. Ah yes, women. I guess this is typical on sites like these, but it's true, gosh darnit, and I can't avoid it, so I will just embrace it - I love women, they make the world go 'round. without women, ladies and gentlemen, this world would be, how do you say - BOOOOOOOOOOORING!...Most importantly, though, there is one woman in my life who now makes my world go round - she is the yin to my yang, the other pea in my pod, and I thank Nature that she is in my life every day. Heck, I'm even gonna marry her one day...Okay so this wouldn't be complete without the Do Not Likes, but that list is short: onions, sauteed spinach, and PEOPLE WHO DON'T PAY ATTENTION!!!So, that's me, Taylor Valentine, in a nut-shell. Which, really, is not very fair because how can you know someone through a set of letters and punctuation. But it's a start. So, if you want, give me a buzz, let us chat.
