About Me

You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !how am i ever going to meet people if i don't have the patience to write things in these little boxes?!? the idea of writing about myself in a way that sounds half-way intelligent but not arrogant or self-important makes me tired. i am hoping my vibes are coming at ya through the monitor :-) !! one argument for good old face to face human contact! peace ya'll!!

My Interests

absolutely beautiful in any language... so happy to be a part of something so special

I'd like to meet:

people who aren't worried about what people think of them. people who are secure enough to really, truly wish each other well. people who know that to allow yourself to see the beauty in others does not diminish your own. people who just are who they are. honest, feet planted firmly on the ground but spirits soaring, ambitious but not ruthless. i'm kind of hoping to meet those rare souls anywhere...even on a website!! call me crazy but it feels good to think it might happen...so i do!PS: although sometimes the people listed in my "top 8" are my actual friends, most often they are people who inspire me musically. i hope that when my friends stop by they will also take the time to go check these artists' pages, find inspiration and support their music!

Music:

music is like air to me. . . is there life without it?Donny Hathaway - Put Your Hands In The Hand
