About Me

"LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND. LOVE DOES NOT ENVY, LOVE DOES NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD. IT IS NOT RUDE, IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS. LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN THE EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUSTS, ALWAYS HOPES AND ALWAYS PERSERVERES." -1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7************************************** "Time is money. Money is time. So, I keep seven o'clock in the bank, and gain interest in the hour of God. I'm saving to buy my freedom. God Grant me wings. I'm too fly not to fly. Eye sore to look at all humans w/o wings. So I soar. And find tickle in the feather of my wings. Flying hysterically over land. Numerically, I am seven mountains higher than the valley of death. Seven dimensions deeper than the dimensions of breath."**Saul Williams.*************************************************** **I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.***Marilyn Monroe

My Interests

"You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you spent wasted with your friends! So, STAY OUT LATE. Go out on tuesdays with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'till sunrise. The work never ends. But college does!" -Tom Petty***************************** Love to cook, dance, laugh, music is my passioin though. Learn as much as I can about history and art.
