Never make someone your priority when to them you're only an option...

About Me

A little more on my profile quote...

The problem with making someone else a priority is your vision becomes so narrow & clouded trying to ensure that their needs are fulfilled, that you forget to look at the big picture to see if their needs even include you anymore...

"I am determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." ~ Martha Washington
One of the best compliments I've ever received about my singing was after a Sunrise Service, Easter Sunday, 2007. A gentleman and his wife came up to me after the service and asked me if I knew who Eva Cassidy was... that my voice sounded a lot like hers... I nearly cried...

Let's see, where do I begin...? My passion in life is singing... There's nothing more exhilerating to me than being on stage in front of thousands of people. One of my pictures is me singing at Lowe's Motor Speedway for a Busch Race in 2004. One of my hidden talents is working on automobiles/bikes (for those of you who like a girl who doesn't mind getting her hands dirty...) I love motorcycles and have a 2005 Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom. Any chance I get, when the weather's nice, I'm riding... I enjoy riding four wheelers as well. I typically take mine to the local tracks, or behind my house on some trails... I'm very organized and detail oriented (can you say OC?). I love to ride Horses. Italian food is my favorite...
I played Volleyball in College my first two years, and still like to play around town in the occasional pick up league. I also play softball with a coed league close to town. I have a dog named Harley, and she's well, a little bit of everything! = )
Love to cook, and eventually want to own a restaurant... (I know, and a Computer Geek?!?! Does it get any better than that???)
I graduated from Wofford College in 2003. Eventhough I do occasionally attend a Wofford football game or two, I'm a born and raised Gamecock fan!!!

Lyrics
It's sad... although I love to watch movies, everyone tells me that I've missed out on so many of the "classics..." One problem I have is I don't actually remember which movies I've seen sometimes. I'm one of those that go to Blockbuster, pick out a movie, get it home and watch 5 minutes of it, only to figure out that I've already seen it. Yeah it sucks. Heh. But some of my favorites (that I remember watching) are: Bed of Roses, Inside Man, All of the Mission Impossible Movies, Remember the Titans, Ocean's Eleven, Erin Brockovich, Pretty Woman, Steel Magnolias, Shakespeare in Love, Finding Forrester, Two Can Play that Game, The Fugitive...

Television:


"The fantasy is simple. Pleasure is good and twice as much pleasure is better. Pain is bad and no pain is better. But the reality is different. The reality is that pain is there to tell us something. And there's only so much pleasure we can take without us getting a stomach ache and maybe that's ok. Maybe some fantasies are only supposed to live in our dreams."
~ Meredith, "Grey's Anatomy"
"Here's the thing, I'm supposed to be the guy who gives you all the words of wisdom because I've been married for so long and the truth is that I don't know crap really... I only know one thing. I love her. I mean, I truly love this woman, as much as I did the first day she walked into my dorm room fifteen years ago... And as far as advice on marriage the only thing I can tell you is this... You know when you're fighting and you're having problems and maybe you're even thinking it might not work out, just take a second to imagine your life without her. Really, just take a minute and think about all the things that you love about her. I don't do that enough, but I'm doing it tonight... I love you..." ~ Dave Grecco, "What About Brian"
"It comes in waves. There's a lull and then another wave hits you. It's ok not to be fine sometimes." "But I miss him all the time, I miss him. It's not waves, it's constant, all the time..." ~ Izzy Stevens, "Grey's Anatomy"
