I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a 28 yr old mother of 2, happily involved with the love of my life. I love spending time with my family. I am an avid reader and knowledge seeker. I retain information well (most of it useless info about rock bands)and am always looking to fill my brain with more. I was born and raised in Western PA, and aside from 2 and a half years in Seattle Washington I have lived in PA. I have a strong desire to travel with my family and teach my kids that this is a big big world and what we do while we are here impacts everyone on this spinning orb called Earth.

I'd like to meet:

everyone and anyone but if i had to choose I guess dead people like Ghandi, George Harrison, Bhudda, Jesus Christ, Akira Kurosawa, and Salvador Dali. From the world of the living Stephen Colbert, Nellie McKay, Martin Scorsese, Elvis Costello, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Oh yeah and Chewbacca! I guess i have to put Kurt Vonnegut now in the list of deceased folks i would like to meet. Tis a sad day. :(

Music:

everything and anything. i've got an open mind when it comes to all things musical. my favorites as of right now are the beatles (duh), wayne renner, modest mouse, sondre lerche, they might be giants, the talking heads, arctic monkeys, cat power, bright eyes, rilo kiley, nellie mckay, the shins, kayne west, jenny lewis, the decemberists, james hunter, lady sovereign, wu-tang, the beastie boys, george harrison, elvis costello, the cure, the clash, the smiths, beck, etc. and on and on. seriously i could be here for years. too many to name. music is life, life music.

Movies:

you name it, i'll watch it. Or I have already seen it. I worked in a video store for 6 years. But a few I recommend are:Amelie, Sunset Boulevard, LOTR, Twin Peaks, Dr. Strangelove, Garden State, Run! Lola Run!, The Motorcycle Diaries, A Very Long Engagement..... gosh, i like some depressing ass movies. I also am quite fond of Alfred Hitchcock. As for funny stuff i love Cannibal! the Musical, Rushmore or any Wes Anderson movie, any Monty Python movie you can name, Half-Baked, A Prarie Home Companion, Caddyshack is a classic, The national lampoon Vacation movies, and The Big Lebowski. Music wise HELP!, Hard Day's Night, Yellow Submarine, Pink Floyd the Wall, Purple Rain, and any movie with David Bowie in it. Kids selections Wallace and Grommit Curse of the Wererabbit, Muppets in Space, Muppets Take Manhattan, Nightmare Before Christmas, any Tim Burton really, The Princess Bride, and E.T. Any movie by Jim Jarmusch, not for the kids though! Any big budget Chinese epic...they look fantastic. Woody Allen rocks too!

Television:

The Daily Show and the Colbert Report. Stewart/Colbert '08!!!! Anything on the History Channel except the WWII shit and the guns specials(if you can't tell, i don't really like war). Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations on the Travel Channel. Mythbusters and the Planet Earth mini series is rocking my socks right now.

Books:

i love books. skinny books, fat books, short books, tall books..... i love them all. my favorites include East of Eden by John Steinbeck and Peoples History of the United States by Howard Zinn. Tom Robbins is great. Hunter S. Thompson, William S. Burroughs, Chuck Klosterman, and JRR Tolkien are favorites. Anything by Irvine Welsh or Chuck Pahlaniuk, they are both in the same vain but Irvine writes his filth with a scottish accent. Anything by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. I'm toying with the idea that he may be the smartest man alive today. Alas, Kurt is gone. But he leaves us with this taken from God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater: “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’ ” Anywho, fiction or fact, novel or short story, i heart the written word.

Heroes:

anyone with enough balls to go after whatever it is that makes them happy. and of course my mother. and yes shes got balls. 'bout the biggest pair you've ever seen, dingleberry!
