Do I take up a lot of space? Yup, I do!

About Me

Society will always dictate some kind of norm or popular opinion. As individuals, I think it's admirable to challenge the norm and to follow our hearts and desires, no matter where that may lead. (within reason, course, if you are a chicken like me)I don't think it is posted anywhere that beauty is subjective. We have to figure that out on our own. I am beautiful because I truly believe that the beauty I possess comes from within. I do not consider myself a conventional beauty, but I do know that I have so much more to offer in terms of intelligence, support, opinion and compassion.I particularly love musicians. I am a bit of a poet myself, but have a deep respect for those who have the gift to write and play music. When a person can sit down and create a piece of music that touches so many people, you have to be just a bit jealous. We all have something to say, but musicians struggle to be heard and do it for the love of creating. Only a handful make it big, and the rest do it for the love of the art. You have to love that.I have seen many artisits perform and there are only a handful that stay true to themselves. I envy that passion. After all is said and done, we all know the meaning of "Hit the highway........"

My Interests

Art, Anthropology, Sociology, Diverse Cultures, and anythng that promotes an understanding of what makes this world a better place to live in.

I'd like to meet:

Joan Jett, Gina Gershon, Angelina Jolie, John Mellencamp, Chrissie Hynde, Eric Stoltz, Albert Einstein, Benjamin Frankln, Robin Williams, Steven Tyler (so I can introduce him to my baby, he's the only one she can have other than me ;) ), and all the interesting artistic individuals out there who are making our world a beautiful place to live in.

Music:

Perpetually stuck in the 80's!

Movies:

Action Flicks and Intellectual Thrillers with a weakness for period pieces.

Television:

Food Network Junkie who dabbles also in the Discovery Channel, TLC and somewhat of a reality TV junkie.

Books:

I am ashamed to say that reading puts me to sleep. I have NO attention span.

Heroes:

My Mom and Dad, Aunt Elizabeth and all the people out there who are fighting for their right to live their lives in the face of adversity.1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.6. You mean the world to someone.7. If not for you, someone may not be living.8. You are special and unique.9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.
