Truth, like surgery, may hurt, but it cures.

About Me



I am an MD in Georgia. Married to Steve. I have a mini-dachshund Spencer who quenches any need to further propagate the human race.
If you want a honest opinion, just ask me. I'll try to spare your feelings, but sometimes the truth hurts. It makes us stronger, right? As Han Suyin said, Truth, like surgery, may hurt, but it cures.
I believe you should live a life where you have no regrets. Live life to the fullest. Dont be afraid to try something new...whether that is a super spicey Thai dish or conquering your fear of water by whitewater rafting. Don't be afraid to admit you are wrong or to fail. Being pushed will only make you go further...so push yourself and don't depend on someone else to push you.
I don't let many into my inner circle. If you think you understand me, you either have under-estimated me or you are VERY close to me.

My Interests

***Currently honing my photography. Ive discovered a love for odd angles, macrophotography, candids and closeups.
***I love college football and sports in general. I'm also an indoor co-ed soccer enthusiast (right fullback or stopper) and whitewater rafting.
***My current schedule leaves little freetime. I try to sneak in the occassional salsa dancing, discussion about politics, or road trip.
***I am the definition of high stress type A personality..but I'm working on that. So though I would love to be near vegetative, I end up being more like the ADHD kid with a ton of things going on in a frenzy.
***I also enjoy wines and hope to become a collector once I am a little more settled in my career.

I'd like to meet:

Just interesting people who can hold a meaningful conversation...or can make me laugh. You don't have to agree with my political views..but be willing to agree to disagree and have a heck of a debate.

Music:

Some noteworthy tunes include: Dave Matthews, Everclear, The Killers, Plain White T's, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Counting Crows, Carlos Vives, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Shakira (the Spanish CDs), OK Go, No Doubt, Beck, Cake, The Cure, Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Chemical Brothers, Sting, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, The Doors, and The Beatles. Primarily alternative, non-pop (unless its latin pop). Particularly 90s alternative. I also enjoy Latin music and world music, such as Gypsy Kings. Not a hip-hop or R&B fan, though there is the occassion tune that catches my attention. A good song writer goes a long way in my book as well!

Movies:

Prefer dramas or epics to comedy or action. Faves include: Moulin Rouge, Braveheart, O Brother Where Art Thou, Gladiator, Good Will Hunting, A Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man and My Big Fat Greek Wedding (which depicts my family to a T). I enjoy Sci Fi but haven't had the chance to see anything really worth mentioning since The Matrix.

Television:

From the networks: Grey's Anatomy (tho its becoming a soap opera), House MD, and any of the CSI shows. TLC and History Channel are two of my fave networks.

Books:

Prefer the classics and great poets. Great Expectations (Dickens), Wuthering Heights (Bronte). For modern works favorites include: Anything by Arthur C Clarke, Eudora Welty, Ray Bradbury, I. Asimov, Faulkner, and specifically House of God (Samuel Shem), Once an Eagle (Anton Myrer), and Hot Lights, Cold Steel (Michael J. Collins).

Heroes:

Anyone who can be committed to something and show preserverence. Its better to be your own personal hero than rely on others. I also greatly respect those willing to fight for our country. Whether you agree or disagree with the politics, I believe you should support the troops. You can always voice your opinions on election day.
