I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

my name means "protector of the sea" ....I listen to music way too loudly... (resulting in me being hard of hearing and in my 20's...) I like to laugh and be loud ...my Grandma once sent me a birthday card saying "those born in your month are loyal, logical, strong, determined, enthusiastic people who sometimes display shocking behavior!" and she knows best ......nuff said.

Music:

I'm a big fan of it. rock; indie rock, punk rock, classic rock....I'm stuck in a bit of a 90's grunge phase...there are just too many bands I love to list! and I don't want to list just a few...cuz that would be discriminating.... but, Obsessed with Pearl Jam, always have been... I do though, have a little "list" of songs that thrill me....... Songs that consistantly give me goosebumps: "That's Just the Way it Is" Bruce Hornsby, "Hunger Strike" Temple of the Dog, "Imagine" John Lennon, "Hard to Imagine" Pearl Jam, "I Believe in Miracles" Pearl Jam cover of the Ramones song....amazing! "Gimme Shelter" the Rolling Stones ....can listen to from cover to cover, again and again...Radiohead "The Bends" album Songs that consistantly make me happy, no matter how I'm feeling: "Over the Hills and Far Away" Zeppelin Ramones "California Sun","Rockaway Beach" "Breath" Pearl Jam, "Ruby Soho" Rancid, "King of the Rodeo" Kings of Leon anything Beach Boys, especially "Don't Worry Baby" possibly one of the best songs ever: "Can't Hardly Wait" the Replacements
