About Me


Ally, Me, Tina & Steve at the Highline Ballroom to see Amos Lee LIVE:
In loving memory of Jorge Enrique Maldonado - immortalized thru art:
My name is Rochele, notice the single "L"...and blame it on my parents. At the awkward age of 10, I acquired the nickname "Roach the Coach" while playing on the Mighty Mitts and Wayne Tigers softball teams. The nickname stayed with me through Volleyball, Swimming, Track, Forensics, Band, and Choir then continued all these years and is still used by family and friends alike. Eventually it evolved and I was also known as; Roachie, RoCha-Cha, Cock Roach, Roll Roll Roll your Roach, Roach-a-luscious, Ro, RoRo, Rocheley, and sometimes Bug (go figure). My pornstar name is Ann Annapolis (middle name and the street you grew up on). But really, what's in a name?
About me? Hmmm. I am a loyal friend with a checkered past who practices compassion thru giving to others and loving everyone. One of my greatest passions in life is to give service and make people feel special and good about themselves. I choose to believe the best in everyone in this world filled with unlimited possibilities. I don't honor good or bad (or) right or wrong...to me, there just "is". There is what we do and what we don't do...everything else is judgment...and I'm not a big fan of judgment. I'm a firm believer that we create our own future and all pain, suffering, bitterness, anger, and drama we continue to carry is our own creation. It took me a while to find a philosophy for living, but thru trial & error, with forgiving & tolerant friends by my side, thru meditation & teachings, I have finally found a path that works…a path that brings great peace & clarity. I seek to surround myself with like-minded people.

Heroes:


"I don't believe in some force outside of ourselves that creates bad things. I just think of it as all dysfunctionalism of one kind or another."
-DAVID BOWIE
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, I look light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change"
-ANI DIFRANCO

-OPRAH
"As you think, so shall you become" and "Willing is not enough; we must do. Knowing is not enough; we must apply."
-BRUCE LEE
"Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything...whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out."
-TINA TURNER
"Everybody loves you when they are about to cum"
-MADONNA

-JOHNNY DEPP

-Ellen Burstyn
"Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now; and if the past cannot prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?"
