About Me

**MS WALK 2008! I NEED YOUR HELP! PLEASE SPONSOR ME ON MY 5 MILE WALK!**CLICK HERE TO DONATE

I'm guilty of random acts of kindness. My friends call me Saint Dawn .. patron saint of kindness. (haha) I'm a sucker for making people smile & laugh. I love everybody (and I hug everybody too!!) ... I dont judge people by the way they dress, if they have tats or piercings .. but how they treat others. To me, thats much more important than anything, cuz mean people suck!

Music is a BIG part of my life .. 24/7. Most likely you'll see me at a local show cuz I love going to concerts every chance I get. Music helps me get through the rough spots in life, and trust me, there are plenty of those .. so needless to say, that means the music is always flowing :)

My Interests

My interests are an eclectic assortment:

*anything ARTISTIC (drawing, painting, sculpturing)

* MUSIC ... I breathe, eat and sleep music, its my therapy. Without it I'm sure I'd be institutionalized. LOL.

* WORKING OUT ... its another thing to keep me sane ... and helps with the attempt to stay clean and sober.

** GOD ... to me, He is wicked cool. I don't preach, I don't feel comfortable telling people what they should believe or how to live their life. That's not what I'm about. But if ya like, I can tell ya what my faith means to me .. just ask

I'd like to meet:


GET LIFTED!

REVOLUTION HALL VOTED BEST CONCERT CLUB -- 2 YEARS IN A ROW!!
Best Concert Club

Revolution Hall
425 River St., Troy

"Revolution Hall is simply a comfortable place to see a show. The rich wood floors and inviting balcony recall some of our favorite venues in New York City, and the sound inhabits Rev Hall in such a way that there really is no bad place to hear the show. The acts booked at the Hall have gotten progressively more interesting and worthwhile. With a little more variation in their booking, the Hall could well end up being the most overall appealing concert venue in the Capital Region."
