About Me

music. its life. my friend trent is an amazing musician--props to him for the songs hes come out with so far.
lifes journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body.... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting holy shit what a ride.
life is what you make of it.
the years of your life arent what count but the life in your years.
dont make someone a priority if they only make you an option.
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. Think different.
the stupidest mistake in life is thinking the one who hurt you the most, won't hurt you again.
there comes a point when you realize who matters, who never did, who wont anymore, and who always will. so dont worry about the people from the past because theres a reason why they didnt make it to your future.
it takes a couple seconds to say hello. but forever to say goodbye.
relationships are like glass. sometimes its better to leave them broken than to hurt yourself trying to put them back together.
man is not destroyed by suffering. he is destroyed by suffering without meaning.
At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your life drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.
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 hearts 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.
people say that before you die, your whole life flashes before your eyes...make it worth watching.
"in three words i can sum up everything ive learned about life: it goes on."--robert frost
sometimes things fall apart so that you can see how badly you need them to fall back together.
there are no shortcuts to places worth going.
"god grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference."--reinhold niebuhr.
life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who dont, and believe that everything happens for a reason. if you get a chance, take it. if it changes your life, let it. nobody said that itd be easy, they just promised itd be worth it.
nothing lasts forever. so live it up, laugh it off, avoid the bull shit, take chances, and never have regrets, because at one time everything you did was exactly what you wanted.
"never be bullied into silence. never allow yourself to be made a victim. accept no ones defintion of your life; define yourself. "--harvery fierstein
dont lick your wounds, celebrate them. the scars you bear are the sign of a competitor. you were in a lion fight. just because you didnt win, doesnt mean you dont know how to roar.
real eyes realize real lies.
"seven days without laugther makes one weak."--joel goodman
.my name is annalisa or depending on who you are i am vegas, egyptian, hips, or lisa.
my home...
its beautiful. i love it. and i am very proud to be from there. so dont put it down.
i miss everyone in vegas!...
.people call me conceited, but i call it SELF-CONFIDENCE.
.ive come to accept i probably read too much into some situations. oh well. its who i am. its what i do. all that matters is i can live w/ the way i am.
lifes all about ass. everyones either covering it, laughing it off, kicking it, kissing it, trying to get a piece of it, or just simply being one.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.' Need I say more?--Chris Rock
ive called in sick too many times. im calling in dead.
i hope life isnt a big joke because i dont get it.--Jack Handey
courage is not the absence of fear. rather the conquest of it.

cool new friends.

my current views on the 4-letter word.....

LOVE is giving someone the ability to completely destroy you and trusting that they wont.

dear heart. i met a boy today. prepare to shatter.

one day you are going to wake up and realize how much you care for her--and when that day comes, she will be waking up next to the guy who already knew.

love me because you can. not because you should.

you can only push a girl away for so long until she walks out of your life on her own. so be careful and make sure it is what you want because once she turns around she isnt coming back.

Quotes by her:
The most important thing is to enjoy life - to be happy - that's all that matters.
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labor exploitation and disease, and given them the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their full potential.
Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.
Whatever a man might do, whatever misery or heartache your children might give you - and they give you a lot - however much your parents irritate you - it doesn't matter because you love them.
Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it all in at once.
