Create a PollAbout me - I get along with people from all walks of life, and I like pretty much everyone. I can't think of even a handful of people that I'm not cool with. Respect means alot to me. I love to laugh, and I like to be around people who love to laugh. I love to hang out, hang around, get crafty, learn new things and see new place.
I am hoping to go back to school and finish my degree someday. I still haven't decided between Psych & English...both interest me immensely...we'll see what happens.


You Are Sunrise
You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.
You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward.
Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.
All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be. What Time Of Day Are You?

My Interests

I like to do a whole lot of things and none of them seem to go together. I love playing with My Kids most of all. I love to sit around the house and watch movies or football and play video games - especially the Sims 2 or any RPG. I love to play poker. I enjoy studying History, Herbs, Spirituality and Psychology. I scrapbook a bit and dabble in other crafts. I'm trying my hand at gardening.

I'd like to meet:

I love weird, interesting people who do things differently and who aren't consigned to "a box". I've not met very many people that don't have something cool about them. I have a very wide range of interests, and I enjoy being around people who like to talk. I will pretty much talk to anyone about anything.

Music:

Anything I can groove to. There's just way too much to list. My musical taste changes daily. My favorite stuff of all times is probably Classic 60s and 70s Rock. I never get sick of it.

!!!

Some of my all-time favorites are: Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Doors, AC/DC, Eric Clapton, REM, Motley Crue, Old skool Metallica, Allman Brothers, STP, Pearl Jam, CCR, Skynyrd, RHCP, The Eagles, Def Leppard and Journey. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Fleetwood Mac & Ozzy's Black Sabbath.
I'm currently jammin' to some American Graveyard and some classic Lou Ann Barton!!

I have recently been listening to my daughter learn to rock out with her new band The Sparkles. Check them out here at Natural Ear Music here in Austin, TX!

Movies:

.. ..
As a rule, I generally like anything that has Gene Hackman, Bruce Willis, Benicio Del Toro, Jason Statham, Helena Bonham Carter, Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, Cate Blanchett, Tommy Lee Jones, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Robert DeNiro or Gabriel Byrne in it. I'll even watch bad movies they are in just to watch them act.
Fun Fact: i have seen Tombstone at least 102 times. I believe Val Kilmer is one of the most underrated actors of our time.
I shy away from anything that has Will Smith, Julia Roberts or Cameron Diaz in it.
All-time Favorites:
Miller's Crossing, Lord of the Rings, The Godfather, The Royal Tenenbaums, Star Wars IV-VI, The Usual Suspects, Dogville, Adaptation, Being John Malkovich, Donnie Darko, Snatch, Coffee & Cigarettes.

Armegeddon, Happy Gilmore, State & Main, Bridget Jones' Diaries, old Jackie Chan movies, The Longest Yard, Little Nicky, Pulp Fiction, Goonies
Action:
Transporter, Pirates of the Carribean, Lucky Number Slevin, Braveheart, Payback, Pulp Fiction, All the comics (even the really bad ones)- Batman, Spiderman, X-men, Superman, Punisher, Hellboy, - hell, I even watched Mystery Men.
Drama:
I'm not that into dramas, but I did like the Fisher King and a couple of others... ..

Television:

Lost (hopelessly addicted), The Colbert Report, Scrubs, Family Guy, Big Love, Spongebob Squarepants, DIY Network, History Channel, Man vs. Wild. Really, I don't hardly ever watch TV, but when I do, this is what I watch. The only shows I watch faithfully are Lost & Big Love.

Books:

My favorite authors are Edgar Allen Poe, Kurt Vonnegut and Janet Evanovich. I am probably bipolar...Some of my favorite books are Lord of the Flies, The Shack, Flowers in the Attic, Galapagos, and America The Book. I also enjoy tackling General Psychological Theory by Sigmund Freud from time to time.

Heroes:

Ronnie - he is my rock. The only person in this world that I totally trust. The person I know will always have my back no matter what. He has always been there for me!! Luv u babe!!
My cousin Jenn - she is my inspiration, all the things I hope I can "grow up" to be!! The nicest, most elegant lady I know. She has overcome all the trials that life has thrown her without even an ounce of bitterness. She is the wife, mother and woman we all aspire to!! Luv u Cuz!
My friend Amber - One of the few women I know who is NOT a hater in ANY way. The most fun, positive person I know. Sure, we have our typical girl weaknesses (boys, boys, boys!!) but we aspire to learn from those who have what we want instead of trying to tear them down out of jealousy!! A toast to my best gal pal!

What the hell kind of political climate are we in where one has to be a Blue Dog Democrat to be considered "fiscally conservative?" I con-fuse.

Political Confusion - Its really long....

One of the things that really aggravates me is when people try to tidy up politics and give you a 4-minute soundbite that condenses it all and makes it sound so simple. If politics, or economics, or f...
