About Me

I'm still here but I think I am starting to look more and more like my great-great aunt Polly. My life's a roller coaster but I refuse to get off the ride. So there.With inaction we surrender our power, act!!!

My Interests

I am just plain interested!

I'd like to meet:

My great-great aunt Polly. She just looks like she has all the answers.

Lucinda Williams, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Andy Williams (blame my mom), The Chieftans, Stranglers, Dean Martin (I have no one to blame), Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, all of Texas Blues and Delta Blues. A good dose of Rolling Stones, The Clash, My Chemical Romance, The Killers, just some good solid rock!!!!

Movies:

All time favorite, To Kill A Mockingbird. The Haunting (the original) Duck Soup, The Great Dictator, City Lights, The Postman Always Rings Twice (the original),Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast(1946), Casino, Goodfellas, Departed, Goodfellas, Deer Hunter, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Jackie Brown and Goodfellas (a perfect insomnia night starts with Goodfellas, goes to Casino, slides into Deer Hunter and ends with an encore of Goodfellas!)

Books:

I read the ones with words in them.

Heroes:

My Mom.
