My Interests

My interests are varied. I like having a balance between my social life and nature.. I'm extremely extroverted but equally introverted.. I can be the life of a party but totally pursue my quality time alone with myself, friends and relationships.I prefer to be around people who are genuine.. those who can be truthful with themselves and others. I don't have a problem communicating and really appreciate others who can do the same. I'll put my cards on the table and hope you will too.I'm into a healthy and spiritual lifestyle.. mind/body/spirit.. Yes, rockers can live a healthy lifestyle!!! I train hard in the gym, I work hard at all of my jobs and I definitely play hard..

I'd like to meet:

Heck I love most people!! I love meetng individuals with substance... those that have a real zest for life. I get inspired being around people who know what they want in life and are willing to go after it. I am very passionate about my own life and all that I do and love... I want to meet other like-minds!I'm enjoying meeting so many fabulous musicians on here. Wow, it's like a candy store for people in the music biz. Awesome!

Music:

Freddie was my all time musical hero. I grew up studying every move and every breath he sang.

Movies:

I love going to the movies at least once a week.. I love all types of movies except horror flicks.. did that when I was younger and now they creep me out.. lol.

Television:

Lifetime.. okay laugh.. I love that stuff..

Books:

I prefer non-fiction. I guess you would say I'm a truth seeker.. always searching for ways to better myself and enlighten my soul.. The experiences I have gone through are put into my writings and my songs..

Heroes:

Ah come on.. it has to be my Mama!! She has been an inspiration to me and always encourages me to follow my dreams. You rock Mom!
