About Me

At the age of 20, I work like a dog (40plus/wk in a factory) and am trying to get through college for journalism (keeping an equine studies minor). I own my own business and am really excited about the places I see it taking me. I am starting a mentoring program to prepare me to do foster care when I'm legally allowed (age 21) because I have two foster brothers who have taught me what it really means to love someone unconditionally. I don't bullshit and I don't straddle fences. And I don't waste time, ever. I know what I want and I work my ass off to get there. I'm a big believer in self-awareness, knowing strengths and weaknesses and educating oneself. Man, do I sound like a bitch there. Well, maybe I am a little hardcore sometimes, but life's just like that. I quit my job because it hurt and I was starting to yell at people. What do you expect, I hadn't slept in two years?!? I'm going to start writing for my college paper as soon as tax season is over and I'm out of a job (I work at H&R). I'm also freelancing for a health magazine, getting paid to write is awesome. I decided not to do foster care, helping raise the boys is more than enough, I'm not even sure if I want kids because of those two. Besides, I'm madly in love, I've never met anyone like him. Being so comfortable in a relationship that you never have to worry from one day to the next if it will last is amazing. He puts me before himself, and I've found that I don't mind doing the same for him. I'm looking forward to doing the career thing, hopefully international journalism. It's nice to know that he'll be by my side no matter what. Look for it ladies and never settle for anything less than perfect. You'll know perfect when he farts and you laugh and his feet stink, but you rub them because they hurt and he's holding your cramping belly or giving you a massage...This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5

My Interests

horseback riding, rock climbing, anything outdoors... reading and writing... my family, mom and the kids are just the world to me

I'd like to meet:

If only I knew. Anyone, everyone and noone.

Music:

Pretty boy stuff, I listen to music to calm me 'cause I'm wound tighter than a virgin's knees: lifehouse, googoo dolls, dave matthews etc... I'm a sucker for husky boy voices singing to me, or husky girls (nora jones, macy gray etc...). Country is my background noise because, well, it's my background. I'm in So. Il. so country is everywhere. I'll listen to just about anything, but I hate all things heavy. Being screamed at sucks so even though metallica has good lyrics, they irritate me. Hip hop is good to dance to, so is some rap. Really anything from Marvin Gaye to Ludacris to Don Henley.

Movies:

The kind that make me think, like the butterfly effect and eternal sunshine. The type that take me to different times and countries, like beyond borders (love angelina jolie) and vanity fair. Edge of your seat scary movies (the corny horror movies are only good for talking back to) and almost all kids movies (finding nemo, ice age etc...). I recently had a rocky horror picture show experience (the first and last time that I have ever worn a mini skirt or a lipstick v on my forehead), the movie was horrible, but the audience was great. I hate stupid movies, but sometimes it's all about the company.

Television:

Gilmore Girls, something about the quick wit and 80s pop culture references, I actually have all 5 seasons. I won't pay for cable because I'm cheap and never home, so I'm not up on all of the new stuff, but I'll give almost all shows a shot or two.

Books:

I'm barreling through the classic literature lists, but I'll read anything. Love Jack London, man's writers. Trashy love novels are all the same, but when men write, they tend to be more to the point however, some can really intrigue a person. I've heard I should read Hunter Thompson, but I can't get through all of the books I have to get to him. Every time I go into a book store I come out with a stack that I may never finish.

My Blog

Sundays at Joe's, Toxic kool-aid, and annoying family

    Life's pressures can, metaphorically speaking, crush the breath right out of me.  Be it work, famliy, school, regret, pain, anger, fear (sometimes terror), I walk around gaspin...
