Student Of Life... Pass or fail?

About Me

Basic info... blah, blah, blah. I am a journalist at heart. I view life as a continuing saga that can be written and/or edited at any point in time. I love to write, doesn't matter what it is... Children's stories, novels, songs, I've done it all. I love to travel, been to 11 different countries on this tiny planet we call home. I have allowed myself to experience many different types of jobs, everything from working the grease pit at McDoanld's to owning my own business. I consider experience the icing on the cake of life.

My Interests

I'll try anything once, twice if I wasn't sure the first time around.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet Adam, The first man, and ask him just one question, "Was it really worth it?" I've always wanted to meet Christopher Reeves and find out what it was like to fly. Then after his accident, I wanted to meet him and ask him what his motivation was for continuing on. Now I guess it's too late. The one person I really want to meet is Jesus. I have a ton of questions to ask Him.

Music:

I'm into all types of music... but it depends on the circumstance. For example, if I'm on the computer or reading and want background music, I'll listen to New Age (no words to concentrate and compete with). If I'm cleaning my apartment or working on a project, I'll listen to something with a strong beat to get me in the groove. I refuse to listen to RAP music. As far as I'm concerned, that is an oxymoron. I even like... dare I confess this secret... elevator music. Only because it helps me take my mind off the fact that I have an uncontrollable fear of heights, a nauseating fear of confined/tight knit spaces, and an abnormal fear of getting too close to people in high, tightly confined spaces.

Movies:

I'm a very big movie buff. I like all types of movies, especiall those that make me cry, or that scare the $%^. out of me. My favorite movie is the Wizard Of Oz. As a small child, I was traumatized whan I first saw this movie. It was great. I also like movies that make me laugh out loud. Laugher soothes the troubled soul and heals the wounded heart.

Television:

Yes!!!!! The coolest invention since two-sided bread.

Books:

Love them. I especially like the fact that they are multi-functional (I have one holding up the back corner of my broken sofa leg). But really, I love to read.

Heroes:

I admire anyone who stands up for what they believe in, and won't buckle under peer pressure. Someone who follows their dream/dreams until they capture them. Someone who has been there, done that, and survived to tell about it.
