About Me

I AM A SURVIVOR

Sadness is easier because its surrender. I say make time to dance alone with one hand waving free.

"The dead were and are not. Their place knows them no more and is ours today...The poetry of history lies in the quasi-miraculous fact that once on this earth, once on this familiar spot of ground, walked other men and women, as actual as we are today, thinking their own thoughts, swayed by their own passions, but now all gone, one generation vanishing into another, gone as utterly as we ourselves shall shortly be gone, like ghosts at cockcrow"

My Interests

OVER TWO MILLION AMERICANS WILL GO TO BED HUNGRY TONIGHT. 90% OF THEM WILL BE CHILDREN. PLEASE HELP TO ABOLISH POVERTY. AMERICANS HAVE AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY. WE HAVE IT WITHIN OUR POWER TO ELIMINATE EXTREME POVERTY AND AIDS IN THIS COUNTRY, AND AROUND THE WORLD. WE CAN START TO MAKE POVERTY HISTORY....ONE BY ONE BY ONE. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR YOUR MONEY. WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR VOICE. ONE.org

I'd like to meet:

I do not have many things that I look back at with regret in my life. I have had the opportunity to meet many wonderful, and inspiring people in my lifetime. But if I had to chose one person it would DEFINITELY be, Pope John Paul II. I have read so much about him, and whole heartedly believe, he was one of the most intelligent human beings on this earth. It would have been an honor to meet him.

Music:

The music of U2 has always been about heart and mind, body and soul. Down the years the band have succesfully thrown a spotlight on the work of key campaigning groups who are trying to make the world a better place.From Amnesty International and Greenpeace through to DATA and the Chernobyl Childrens Project, U2 have used benefit concerts, songwriting, public campaigning, special visits and fund-raising projects to promote a range of charities and activist communities worldwide.
