Maybe waiting for your one true love really gets you nowhere

About Me

I'm someone who lives their life with no regrets - no shoulda, coulda, woulda - life is too short to wish something could have been done differently. Plus you'll only drive yourself crazy thinking of the different outcomes.
I believe the body to be a canvas waiting for decorative pieces of art to be imprinted on it. Hence why I have two tattoos. My first tattoo is a trail of tribal elephants on my upper left arm. The second one is on the back of my right calf - 14 Chinese characters that cover the entire calf.
I work in the entertainment industry. Used to work on the music side but flipped over to the home entertainment (DVD) thanks to the company laying me off - best thing that could have ever happened to me. Why the entertainment industry? I love pop culture, plus it allows me to wear my jeans to work :) I hated the corporate lifestyle and what better way to make a living - work in a casual, fun, somewhat laidback environment where I can wear jeans and talk about things I love - music, movies and pop culture.
It's amazing what one can learn in this industry. I've learned a lot about people - how to handle certain personalities, how to read people, body language and how you can tell who really is and isn't your friend. Kind of feel like I'm studying to be a psychologist - lol I've met a lot of great people that I thought I'd never meet in my life - people who have shared their wisdom and have made some sort of impact on my life and these are the people I will never forget. Funny - all of my really good friends are people I've met during my career and I'm greatful.
Video games - the best stress reliever. When I need to expend some anger, I hit the gaming platforms. I've always loved video games as a kid. So much so I actually purchased an Atari system to re-live those classic memories. Love this system so much I'm on the lookout for Coleco Vision and Intellivision (this is the very first gaming platform I owned). But the ultimate goal is to purchase a Galaga free standing machine. I don't know one person that did not like or love this game. There's something about it that makes me go goo-goo gaga.
I'm very cautious as to who I let close to me - either as friend or a significant other. Very few people in my life know me very well, in fact I can count them all on one hand. I choose who to let in and who to keep out. I choose who sees, touches, feels and experience my heart. I protect it as it's the only one I have. I believe in karma - I've seen it happen and it's a bitch when it swings back ten-fold. Everyone gets what they deserve whether it's good or it's bad.
The love of my life at the moment is my nephew Ben. He'll be eight months on January 21st but he's such a little man. Ben will definitely be a handful but looking forward to being there for every single important moment in his life.
I'm greatful for everything I've been given and have. Take nothing for granted as there are millions of other people who are worse off than me. My friends describe me as the person who would give people the last morsel on my plate, the shirt on my back and shelter over your head when needed.
My family and friends are my riches. When they're happy I'm happy, when they're sad I'm sad, when they hurt I hurt.
"If time were to stop, my world would keep moving as I never want to capture a single moment in time. To capture and live in a single moment would mean delaying the good things waiting for me to enjoy, delaying the lessons to be learned and keeping me from the people I want to be with." - Me

Your 2005 Song Is
Trapped in the Closet by R. Kelly

"And now I'm in this darkest closet trying to figure out
Just how I'm gonna get my crazy ass out this house"

For you, 2005 was all about insane drama! What Hit Song of 2005 Are You?

Movies:

Napoleon Dynamite, The Exorcist (uncut of course), Poltergeist, Batman Begins, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Green Mile, Forest Gump, What's Love Got To Do With It?, Hoosiers, A League of Their Own, Zoolander (What's this? A centre for ants?!), Shallow Hal, Scream, Darkness, Team America, Clueless (really is funny), Shawshank Redemption, Darkness, Super Size Me, Bowling for Columbine, Bandit Queen, Wal-mart: The High Cost for Low Price, Two For the Money, Bride & Prejudice, Deliver Us From Eva, Coach Carter, The Omen, Friday the 13th, Chicken Little, Chicken Run, Monsters, all Peanuts movies, all Muppets movies, Million Dollar Baby, Hitch, Just Like Heaven, Bend It Like Beckham, Charlie's Angels (all of them)

Television:

TV JUNKIE! Alias, Amazing Race, Big Brother, Friends, The Simpsons, Family Guy, King of the Hill, Medium, CSI (all of them), Law & Order (all of them), Oprah, Everwood, Buffy, Angel, Girlfriends, Desperate Housewives, Charmed, What I Like About You, Cold Case, Cosby Show, Ellen DeGeneres Show, Sex and the City, NCIS, The Biggest Loser, Without a Trace, Prison Break, Queer As Folk, The L Word, G-Spot, Smallville, The Peanuts, The Muppets, So You Think You Can Dance, ER, Survivor, The Apprentice, Will and Grace, Reba, Justice League of America (the original, old school series not the new one) and many more I can't remember - depends on my mood. My score on The Which Grey's Anatomy Intern RU Test :
Cristina Yang
(64% confidence, 44% compassion, 85% dedication)
Cristina Yang is an extremely intelligent and aggressive woman. She puts her professional obligations first before anything. She likes to do things by the book. However, her horrible bedside manner and inability to relate to her patients causes her to appear cold and distant. She’s also pretty arrogant and persistent. But I got to say she’s my favorite.

Books:

Not my favourite past-time but when I'm in the mood I enjoy it. The Exorcist (you thought the movie was scary???), Angels and Demons, The Tao of Pooh, Celestine Prophecy, Losing My Virginity: The Richard Branson Biography, anything by Tami Hoag, anything by Dean Koontz

Heroes:

my parents & every single person who has made a difference in my life and taught me things about myself that I never knew. Those who make me laugh when I'm down and even when I'm happy. Those who are real, strong and secure about themselves. Oh and anyone who can cook up a storm - especially desserts :)
