About Me

Hello. I'm Maria. But, feel free to call me "Effin Maria" these days. I'm one of those people that a lot of people seem to know of, yet I have no clue who most people are. I live my life everyday being a firm believer that karma can be your bestfriend, or your worst enemy. I give everyday, whether it be in small or large amounts. Whether it be love, spare change, compassion, or a simple helping hand. I believe that music is the most beautiful way a person can express themselves. One day I will change the world. Mark my word. But until that day comes, let's spread the music, the love, and the hugs. Let's hug it out, shall we?

My Interests



♥ Well, I'm a simple person by all means. I'm a Vegetarian. I love animals. Music means the world to me. Art and museums. Witty people and sarcasm. Tree huggers. Sexual innuendos. Hippies. Vegetarians. Vegans. Open-minds. Fashion. The not-so-trendy. Vintage shops. Rummage sales. Poetry. Comedy. Clever minds. Downtown. I want to get into A&R work, and promote and market great music. I support thriving artists and local/underground talent. Parties, the mall, movies, and traveling, flying, concerts, the internet, AIM, Super Nintendo (Pass me the controller for some Mario 3 or Mario-Kart, thanks. ) bowling, billiards, working, daydreaming, driving around with no place to go, sitting under the stars... just gazing, going for walks, working out, getting together and going out for a bite to eat at all hours of the night, text messaging, Thai food, watermelon, talking on the phone, playing board games, dancing, karaoke, basketball, hockey, photography, waitressing, working with people, writing, movie nights at home. I do wear my heart on my sleeve, and I guess that's why it's been broken a few times. But you always learn from experience, and I live for experience. But, most importantly, I love to rock out and love. ♥

I'd like to meet:


I'm open to all kinds of people. I'm honestly the kind of person that gets along with just about anyone. I'm interested in meeting people who usually don't follow that horrid dotted line that everyone else seems to follow. Chances are, if you're open-minded, considerate of others, and know how to have some fun, I'd like to meet you.
Oh! And not to mention a sentimental boy who will write/strum/sing songs to me. Music is the key to my heart.I support the Detroit music scene. You should too.

I hate you, Cancer. I HATE YOU.

From the outside, it's so perfect.

I'm finally fed up. I'm fed up with being taken for granted. I'm fed up with being put down constantly. I'm fed up with being yelled at, with being criticized. Everything you can think of... I'm throu...
