About Me

Who am I? Well if you don't know who I am then you either have the wrong person or you need to get to know me. I promise, I don't bite... often.

My Interests


I'd like to meet:

The person who invented the chop-a-matic...come on it chops, dices, juliennes and even cleans your toilet.

Michael Buble's cousin's neighbor.
John Mayer's hair dresser's mother's sister's second cousin twice removed.
Who would I like to meet...is this like Make-A-Wish? Do I actually get to meet the people I put down?
You know, I don't even get to visit my mom as much as I would like so I guess I don't have time to visit famous people...unless they are buying dinner. Then I could oblige some time. Hey, its free food.
Who would I not like to meet even if they were buying me dinner. Now that is an interesting list.
As you might have deduced from my page, I adore John Mayer. I have some friends who don't know him and so I would like to introduce you to him.
John is first and foremost and amazing guitar player. He is also a superb songwriter with a voice that will soothe all your troubles away. He is a trifecta with his songwriting, voice and guitar.
Many of John's fans find him even more appealing because of his humor. He is a funny man with an approachable, honest way about him.
John has said on several occasions how proud he is of his fans and how lucky he is to have them. Well John, we are lucky to have you and we are extremely proud of how you are growing as an artist and a man. Keep following your soul, it is leading you the right way.

John Mayer Quotes

"Big is the best movie of all time. If it’s a Sunday afternoon and you just got out of the shower and big is on, you will sit balls naked on the end of the bed till that movie is over because it’s that good”

"Who needs prozac when you've got Arizona Iced Tea?"

Interviewer- you said I just found out there’s no such thing as a real world just a lie you got to rise above… John- "Yeah I was a little angry that day”

"Osaka, Japan, say hello to Dela!" Then after the next song he said, "Being on the road can be rough and tumble, and someone backstage just informed me that this isn't Osaka, Japan - we're in Indianapolis!"

"I've always said I've got the coolest fans, and I brag about you like grandchildren when I talk to other artists"

"I'm looking for my ideal soul mate. That is somebody who is confident enough to feel love at a moment when love is not being given. A lot of times, I feel like I'm on the road to support a family I dont even have yet. I dont have to tour as much as I do, but I want to for that future family."

"I wanna be a better man. I'm trying to figure out what I can do in my life to make it so that one day when my wife tells me she hears something downstairs and she wants me to go check it out, that I don't completely wet myself as I'm going down the stairs."

"I love coconut, because when you think you're done eating coconut, 25 minutes later, a little piece of coconut comes out of the back of your mouth, and then you say, "Hey! It's more coconut!" I think any food with that kind of determination needs a little respect"

"I speak about my guitar playing like it's something other than me, because in many ways, it is. Same with the singing. I stand on stage with these two children who have to play nice together, and when they don't, I have to spend most the time on stage making sure they don't beat each other up. Do I concentrate on singing and let the guitar playing happen on its own, or the other way around? "Yes" is the answer."

Need a chuckle. Here are some funny clips to make you smile.
Old woman humor

Match Game
Macarena
Charlie bit my finger.
Star Wars according to a 3 year old.
I stepped out in a sunlit grove
Although deep down I wished it would rain
Washing away all the sadness and tears
That will never fall so heavily again.
-Diana Krall, Narrow Daylight
I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
-James Blunt, Cry
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train.
-John Mayer, Stop this Train
Driving away from the wreck of the day
And it's finally quiet in my head.
Driving alone, finally on my way home
to the comfort of my bed
And if this is giving up, then I'm giving up.
-Anna Nalick, Wreck Of The Day
