More human than human.

About Me

-I create music. .poetry. .pictures. .stories. .messes. .jokes. .memories. .dances. paintings. .and an overall rocking good time.
I love to learn, reading books is a must.- (If you don't read, you might not want to talk to me, because I find that horribly unattractive. You're missing out on SO MUCH in life. Go grab a damn book.)-

My Interests

Music, art, religion, life...well really- just about everything.

"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now? Reality leaves a lot to the imagination." - John Lennon

"The future of the world lies in having enough self-esteem to accept others different from ourselves." -John Vasconcellos

“If you shape your life according to nature, you will never be poor; if according to people’s opinions, you will never be rich.” - Seneca

"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent." -Victor Hugo

"It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong" - Voltaire

"And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh." -Friedrich Nietzsche

"The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance - the idea that anything is possible." -Ray Bradbury

"Nature does nothing uselessly." -Aristotle

"A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read." -Mark Twain

"Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputations, can never effect a reform."- Susan B. Anthony

"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others." -Peace Pilgrim

"Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist, the parachute." -G.B. Stern

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." -Jimi Hendrix

"The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge." -Elbert Hubbard

Sometimes manual labor sounds appealing, I'm sure to most in the business I'd sound crazy, but being a woman- you don't get many opportunities to play with heavy machinery and flex your muscles. ...
