In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

About Me




Hey - Life's too short and sometimes taken away unexpectedly...if you have friends and family that you love and appreciate, be sure to tell them...often.
The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him; and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him and show your distrust. ~ Henry Stimson

Women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.
~George Carlin
About me, well.... my name is Kristen Rose...depending on what group of friends you're in, I'm Kris, Krissie, Kristen, Duff or Duffy...hopefully that's all. I was an extrovert for years, though I've grown a bit more introverted in the last few. Still, I speak my mind, I don't like to hold back or hold things in, I like everything out in the open; although sometimes I have a hard time getting it out there. I could use a little more patience, would like to lose my uncanny ability to over-analyze some things...but my friends know how I can be and they still love me to pieces...guess that's what matters most. I can be incredibly loopy, pretty cynical and at times, inCREDibly sappy, but I'm always sensitive, compassionate, caring & honest. I tend to put my heart into everything and feel things very deeply - sometimes that's good, sometimes it's bad, but I can't help it - that's part of what makes me "me". Oh, and don't mess with me, my family or friends unless you'd like to see me go into Linda Blair mode! Don't say I didn't warn ya. Rawr!
The people I'm closest to are people I've known for years, there's a few in particular that I've been close to for many years now - they know who they are - they've helped me more than they know and I love each of them. "Our little group has always been and always will until the end". I also love that soul-smiling feeling of re-connecting with an old friend you haven't seen or talked to in years and having such a natural connection with them that it feels like the last time you saw them was just yesterday. :)

I get amused and fascinated by very random things...I like the little things and the small details. I've learned that it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular. I love being around creative people; as well as being one of them, I feed off of them and have so much admiration for those who create. To think that a piece of music, a dance, art, a building, etc, starts out as nothing, a blank page; then that first note, step, etc. enters the creators mind and the rest stems from there; it truly amazes me. I love people-watching - it's amazing to look at each person and how everyone has their own little universe; passions, skeletons, heartbreaks, etc. I believe that where we are and who we are at this very moment is the result of decisions we ourselves and others have made throughout our lives...sort of like The Butterfly Effect I guess. It's funny how life unfolds isn't it? One more thing...I'm not afraid of silence - I don't feel the need to constantly talk - sometimes it's good to just sit back & soak up the company and atmosphere....so on that note...

Now PLEASE PAY ATTENTION HERE...I DO NOT ACCEPT FRIEND REQUESTS FROM PEOPLE OR BANDS THAT I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW - and if there's a possibility I won't recognize you, email me! And although I appreciate the emails from men saying things like "Great smile", you're not going to get a reply so don't send nasty emails asking why I didn't send one...I'm not here to flirt with strangers. Nothing personal. Thanks. Ciao.

That's it. Everything else is up to you.

My heart keeps playin it through
With you, my friend...
I'll take my chances on you
again and again.

Fear breeds withdrawal,
Jealousy breeds insanity,
Acceptance breeds maturity,
Conceptually to be me is to be me;
A self-sufficient entity.

And being alone is the best way to be,
when I'm by myself nobody else can say goodbye.

we can control what happens inside us.

now you are real...
So like a stranger,
Colder than steel.

Music:

Music has always been a main ingredient in my life...about 99.9% of the friends I've made and have kept throughout the years initially started out due to a mutual love for music. I practically lived at the old Living Room from 1986 til it closed, then Rockit and then worked at Club Baby Head for a few years...good times. Some think my taste in music is strange; maybe it's just too varied for some to accept. Some favorites are: Dave Matthews Band. Motley Crue. Led Zeppelin. Erik Narwhal. Patrick MacAloon. Jason Mraz. Blues Traveler. Rush. Faith No More. Silvertide. Metallica w/Cliff. VanHalen w/DLR. Sabbath w/Ozzy. Old Extreme. AC/DC. NIN. Chucklehead. The Chili Peppers. Devin Townsend. Queensryche. Death Angel. The Beatles. The Black Crows. The Beastie Boys. Foo Fighters. Pantera. Slipknot. Danny Elfman. Ray Charles. Temple of the Dog. Heart. Eva Cassidy. Fiona Apple. Bonnie Raitt. Joss Stone. Sarah McLachlan. Cheesy 80's Metal. Silly 80's dance. 70's rock. Some oldies, some Motown. Old School Rap/Funk. Classical guitar. Flamenco guitar. Steel guitar...any guitar I guess. Steve Vai. Tony MacAlpine. Billy Sheehan. Jeff Buckley. Steve Morse. Eric Johnson. SRV. KWS. Robert Johnson. Hendrix. Buddy Guy. My Buddy Tim. Jason Becker. Marty Freidman. Alexi Laiho.
And the single, most talented person I've ever known; Dave Suzuki.
