I am here for Friends

About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I am real, and I am really here right now. I am idealistic to a fault, but I don't want to put the burden of creating a better tomorrow on future generations. My life has been blessed with infinite possibility. I consciously and deliberately chose this path I follow. I wake up every day with the faith that music will solve our problems. Music is the one language we all speak and the common bond that can bring us all together. Playing drums, expressing my feelings through words, and loving my family and friends are my reasons to live. I've been accused of being arrogant or judgmental, but I would counter that I am misunderstood by my insistence on saying what I am thinking. I believe everyone is equally gifted with the opportunity to make things right in the world. If I am talking to you face-to-face, please look me in the eyes and give me the honest truth. I will respect you for doing so. I yearn for honest communication. Like most people, I am looking for that special someone, but I am an independent woman who feels complete as is. Whomever you are...wherever you are...please know you are alive in my heart...TOGETHER WE ARE EVERYTHING!!! I mean all this.Your Proud Warrior,carolinei am both and neither. at times floating gently through these waves and at times consumed with a hungry sense of self. i give. i take. and there's music playing ALL the time, except for in my dreams. well sometimes in my dreams, but more often conversation. i have lots of conversations. people are the best mirrors. i love words and soup. i have a very difficult time making up my mind, but it's easy to know what my heart wants. and i'm pretty positive that all the hearts in the world want the same thing. so that makes me just the same as you.

My Interests

Anarchy, playing drums, integration, death of science, travels to exotic places, astrology, neurochemistry, quirks, surround sound, miracles, unity, music festivals, feng shui, TCU basketball, karma, apocalyptical postulations and solutions, collecting mp3's and Lp's, rhythm, disentrainment, collecting Camel Cash, family, ebay, sleep, sunrises, synchronicity, cats, food, and total awe, brightly colored fungus, Amsterdam, dreaming away the day, art that is alive, dives and other old bars, juice, glass pieces, hats and headbands, my mother's cooking - she makes the very best vegetarian food you'll ever eat, road trips, camping and hiking, the city of Ft. Worth, the possibilities of the internet.

I'd like to meet:

Intelligent drummers. Jose Pasillas. People who give a damn and can explain why they do. Good listeners. Illegal immigrants. Time travelers, people who have never eaten a vegetable (except potato chips), quantum physicists, singer/songwriters who are taller than 6'4", those who project their astral body at will, Cypriots, hat-makers, talking marshmallows, Neopagans, convincing storytellers, revolutionaries, fire signs, anyone who knew me before I was 10, snail pornographers, someone who wants to chill and color some mandalas, and you, too, if you're still reading this.

Music:

Scott Yarbrough, Scott Griffin, Ableton. I'm alive for this. I like my vintage Ludwigs and the sizzle of the slightly open hats. Does anybody really care what I like? It changes every day. I listen to music every free moment I have, but nothing could ever compare to playing music I helped create. No, nothing. Not even that.
