I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


WARNING! I will NOT approve you as a friend unless you send me a message first. I don't care how enlightened a message you have, awesome product you have to share, or fantastic body you want me to veiw on your web cam, you WILL BE DENIED! Network marketing means NETWORKING...NOT SPAMMING! Nuff said.
"If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid with regard to external things. Don't wish to be thought to know anything; and even if you appear to be somebody important to others, distrust yourself.
For, it is difficult to both keep your faculty of choice in a state conformable to nature, and at the same time acquire external things. But while you are careful about the one, you must of necessity neglect the other."
-The Enchiridion, by Epictetus
It's a brand new year!
As for adventure in life, activities and food, I'll try anything once. But I warn you... I've already tried mushrooms, oysters (BLECH) and calamari.
On a serious note, I prefer Cap'n Crunch to all other cereals (although it tears up the roof of my mouth).
Other info: For fun, I see movies at the theater with friends, go on short hikes and try to make frowning people at the stores smile. For business, I do graphic design (and have for 20 years) and love it. Also do artwork and write. Will happily talk about religion, but have my own path I'm traveling. Like hearing how everyone else's journey is going, though. Have a liberal arts education from Hendrix in Conway. I have become a coffee lover and frequent Pontiac Coffee Shop and Arsagas. I'm also a sucker for fine dining.

My Interests

I have many interests. Some listed. Some not. Love to learn about new things. If someone can introduce me to something new, so much the better. Generally, writing, art, graphic design, movies, my pets, wonderful family and friends and what is going on in their lives holds great interest to me.

I'd like to meet:



Enjoy meeting all sorts of people and hearing their stories.

Those who are active, driven, inquisitive, compassionate, slightly independent and communicative and, above all, positive in their approach towards life and success are the most interesting.

I'd also like to meet Kevin Smith. And while I'm at it... Kate Beckinsale.

Music:

I'm learning about new music at the moment. Trying new things out. Still partial to Classic Rock, but have a wide range of musical interests. Collection runs from Clapton, to Everclear, to Soundtracks, to Norah Jones, and on and on and on. Hard rock, heavy metal and headbanging is good in the right mood, but rarely played.

Movies:

Tons. Love all types. Old. New. Bad. Really liked Old School, 40 Year Old Virgin and Night at the Museum.
I'm humbled by other people's lists, so here are a few of mine: Philadelphia Story, Citizen Kane, Bringing Up Baby, My Girl Friday, Brigadoon, It's a Wonderful Life, North By Northwest, Singing in the Rain, Three Musketeers (1948), Guys and Dolls, Pirates of Penzance, Forbidden Planet, The Blob, Frankenstien, Dracula, The Mummy, Hammer Films, Star Wars, A Little Romance, Nightmare on Elm Street, Ghostbusters, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Halloween (or anything with Jaime Lee!), Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, Top Gun, Star Trek II, Army of Darkness, Apollo 13, Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, DOGMA, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Fifth Element...Wizard of Oz (I can still remember hiding behind the couch when the wicked witch showed up... and that was last time I watched it!)The Exorcist STILL freaks me out!High Fidelity, Say Anything, Jaws, Amadeus, Batman Begins, Twister, Anger Management, Office Space, True Lies, What the Bleep Do We Know, Lord of the Rings, Fight Club, Matrix, Underworld, 50 First Dates...All movies with/by John Cusack, Bryan Singer, Peter Jackson, Will Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Spielberg, Kubrik and M. Knight Shyamalan.I like movies. What can I say?

Television:

This one is easy. Have only a few shows I've allowed myself to get hooked on: My Name is Earl, Boston Legal and my favorite: Battlestar Galactica.

Books:

Some of my favs include The Count of Monte Cristo, Tale of Two Cities, What Dreams May Come, DaVinci Code, Slaughterhouse Five, Ender's Game, Jurassic Park, The Eight and The Prophet. Enjoy writing by Koontz, King (although I have a hard time reading his books for some reason), Clive Cussler, Michael Crichton, Dan Brown, Bradbury and Alan Dean Foster.However, in addition to all these, I have recently read a book that changed all of my perceptions and left me teetering on the edge of reality. And even more amazing, is that it was GIVEN to me. I'm going to order several to give to others.I've struggled for balance in my life and always felt like focusing on money would take me away from the interests I had, the people I loved and the person I had become.I was wrong. BUT...keep checking on me and I'll post my progress for you.The book had this to say on the back. I picked it up, and read it cover to cover in a very short time: "Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get rich easily, while others are destined for a life of financial struggle?"And what's even better, you get two FREE tickets to the Millionaire Mind Intensive THREE DAY LONG seminar. AND...I'm not trying to talk you into something. I actually experienced it. Met DOZENS of amazing people and witnessed amazing things all weekend long.Quiz me if you want.

Heroes:

I look up to those who blaze their own path in life and still make time to help others succeed. With great power comes great responsibility. And all that jazz.
