Just because I'm wandering, doesn't mean I'm lost

About Me



Iamabundleofcontradictions...I have traveled alot but haven't yet reached my destination...maybe the journey is the destination. I have a persistant need to move, yet I crave stillness. I am optimistic yet suspicious...I'm passionate, affectionate, restless and tolerant. I have a huge bleeding heart and almost always root for the under dog...I can be empathetic to a fault. I am a bit naive, I trust a little too easily and have been known to be a bit clumsy. I have made most of my decisions from my heart, not my head and haven't regretted it...yet. I am a chronic wanderluster who actually does likes piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. I am travelling through life with a soundtrack, but now and then I need to be reminded to hit the pause button long enough to think it through, to re-assess the melody...re-assess the tempo :) I am having a tumultuous affair with Manhattan...It's love, but my eye is always on the door... Here are some of my memories:..

You...especially if you dream in technicolor and breathe music...

Music:

I have always loved music...all of it, well except maybe modern-day country...and polka, I draw the line at polka. I do like music that makes me think "Wow, now there's something I havent heard before". Much like I enjoy meeting people who don't have personalities that I have already encountered....

Listen to your music in the dark, with your headphones on...loud, very isolated from the rest of the world. Because it is not 'today' music, it's more of a time that exists in your head...

I like to see you move with the rhythm; I Like to see when you're dancin' from within - Bob

Those that danced were thought mad by those that could not hear the music...

Movies:

The House of Flying Daggers, The Big Lebowski, Dirty Dancing, Almost Famous, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Matrix...the original and none of the rest, The Bourne Identity trio, Old School, Wedding Crashers, I ♥ Huckabees, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; both of them actually, The Wall, Karate Kid, Jurassic Park, Jaws, The Godfather Trio...especially the 1st one because I love Marlon Brando, Indiana Jones (all of them), Kill Bill 1 and 2, Pulp Fiction, From dusk til Dawn, The Breakfast Club, Pretty much any movie if Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller or the Wilson brothers are in it....The Shrek movies, Ghostbusters, Donnie Darko, Edward Scissorhands, Fright Night, Amelie, The Goonies, Spiderman 1 and 2...I didn't like #3, Sixteen Candles, Predator, Elizabethtown, The Princess Bride, Best in Show, Help, Desperatly Seeking Susan, Walk the Line, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Hero, The Village, Blazing Saddles, Groundhog day, Napoleon Dynamite, Austin Powers; all 3, Lost in Translation...and at least 99 more...

Television:

Boston Legal, Lost, Scrubs, Private Practice, Ghost Hunters, Monster Quest and CSI Las Vegas. I also like Geico commercials, the Food Network and late night skinamax.

Books:

“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.” - Oscar Wilde

Heroes:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do." - Mark Twain

"I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine. - Caskie Stinnett"

Anything less than mad, passionate extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life and love shouldn't have to be one of them...

"You cannot define obscenity without being obscene" - Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

~Goonies never say die~

Choices are like connecting highways, they all take you to the same place...some just take you longer to get there.

The last refuge of an insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world...
