About Me

"If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once a week...The loss of these tastes is a loss of hapiness, and possibly injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character."-- Charles Darwin"Black Angel" by R. Salas..
Cool SlideshowsI am a very blessed person, i have a wonderful son who is almost 4 years old. He is unique and intriguing. He has been diagnosed as severly ausitic. He makes our lives beautiful.I have a handsome hilarious boyfriend who treats me better than anyone ever has. He spoils me and spanks me...what more could a girl ask for.....hm?I suppose I am a "hopeless romantic" in the sense that i believe there is good in everyone, from every culture or lifestyle. I do however have strong views on descrimination. I think that "there's room for everyone in this world" and we need to just figure it out. I love nature, and i strongly feel that we survive all together or NOT at all.Charlie Kaufman said it best: "There's a certian orchid [that] looks excatly like a certian insect. So the insect is drawn to this flower...it's double...it's soulmate...and wants nothing more than to make love to it.And after the insect flies off it spots another soul-mate flower and makes love to it, thus pollinating it. And niether flower nor the insect will ever understand the significance of thier love-making. How could they know that becouse of thier little dance, the world lives? But it does. By simply doing what they were designed to do something large and magificent happens. In this sense, they show us how to live. How the only barometer you have is your heart. How when you spot your flower you can't let anything get in your way."(Sun, Moon, and Star all in one by Rick Salas)The following photos are from a very unique experience I shared with some extraordinary volunteers from the Channel Islands Naturalist Core on San Nicholas Island in June of 2006. Much thanks to all those that participated (worked our asses off) and to those that made it possible for us to be there!..
Cool SlideshowsI make no claims of being good at filming, but this was too amazing even though the scene is shaky. This is what is known as a feeding frenzy, usually the male dolphins will swim in a large circle permiting the females and thier young to feed in the middle as the males corral schools of fishes. Nature follows a divine order. They really enjoy surfing as as we rode past them they would ride the waves at the back of the boat. All in all there were about 2,000 dolphins...I am a spiritual person, but not religious, i think that fanatics come in all shapes and sizes. i can commune with God in nature. i guess am a tree hugging animal loving WANNA be hippie. LOL. I think my life is full of wonderful oddities, and i find that i am blessed beyond measure. My family is the coolest (especially my sister and brother=they keep me on my toes=), even when we are disaggreeing. I live in a beautiful area, with lots of agriculture. But my true passion is the ocean...
Cool SlideshowsI think that i can love unconditionally, which can make me rather cheezy, but i wear my feelings and opinions on my sleeves. I can have a great chuckle with a wanna be player, but will never indulge in thier games. I am extremely analytical, to a fault. But with this comes personal security and happiness. I tend to be impatient with shady people, including politicians and "religious leaders", I look for humor in everything that surrounds me, and my friends have to pinch me every now and then to remind me to laugh at myself, which i love to do! I am always open to meeting new people, from all backgrounds, and i love diversity. I tend to embrace other cultures wholeheartedly.

Add to My Profile | More Videos

I'd like to meet:

"Rock Autism" on VH1 Classic PSA

Add to My Profile | More Videos(La Rue by Rick Salas)People with something interesting to say, I find that I get bored quite easily, and become restless. Intellects are always favorites, I have a special place in my heart for Einstein, and Henry Rollins, because there is so much more to them then what they are famous for. The story behind the story, thats usually more interesting. i would love to have one on one conversations with these two heroes...I not only want to meet this dude I WANT TO BE this guy!

Music:


All of it from the blues to the 80's then to hip hop and rock and back again, but Boingo & Bob Marley (yes the poet and the prophet)are daily musts!("In His Element" By Rick Salas)

Movies:

Rising Sun, Motercycle Dairies, Valentin, Il Postino, 1984, The Others, Sense and Sensability, The Village, Beautiful Mind, Miss Conginality, Monty Python (all of them) Cheech and Chong (all of them) Star Wars,Scarface, Godfather,Usual Suspects... actually i love suspense but any well written and acted movie makes me happy.

Television:

..

Books:

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Currently I am reading, "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", "To Love Is To Be Happy With" and assorted poems.. but the following are a few of my favs..Mans Search for Meaning, Vampire Chronicles,Edgar Allen Poe, Walt Whitman espeacially Song Of Myself, Ernesto Gueverra's writting (incredibly and sadly overlooked.)

Heroes:

Audry Hepburn, for loving humanity so purely. My spanish teacher C. Milan who refined my taste in literature, My son A. Raven who has taught me how to truly see without any prejudice, and my bffs Chris and Beth who have always been there for me through thick and thin and then some...( and If im really being honest my little sister who loves unconditionally and makes the world more beautiful and my little brother who refuses to conform to AnYthiNG!!)
