My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/27/2005
Band Members:

I enjoy the use of superfluous exclamation points!!!!!!! But only(!) in my own writing!!!!!!

Influences:
INFLUENTIAL FOLKS --- My Grandmas
people who bear great weight without complaint along with uppity people who speak for justice,
and people who are terribly beautiful because of their ugly honesty;
Famous folks whose work I admire: John Lennon, Frida Kahlo, Tonya Harding, Diane Fossey, Toulouse-Lautrec.

GREAT TEACHERS in my life who all share as a common thread passion and compassion:
Ray Westberg-life and proactivity;
David Gaer-art and living in a small town;
Gerte Shupe and Coyne Burnett Sr.-music, discipline and poise;
Phil Harding-architecture and happiness;
Kym Adair-confidence, rebirth and empathy;
Mr. Tim Hoffman-ferocity and determination;
Gregg Marshall-diplomacy;
Alfonso Batista-patience, forgiveness, remembering to dream and following happiness.

AND THEN the time my brother fed me the crystals from his chemistry set,
travel, deep and shallow thoughts,
whiskey and billiards,
times I have made unexpected journeys that became pivotal,
and times I made dear friends when and where I least expected it.
Sounds Like:

I like it when I hear the words "flusterated" and "Warshington" used in a sentence.
