About Me

"If you want to hate me, fine. Have a superficial time, as the center in you dies..." ~HURT
Graphics for I Love You Comments More than life itself! :)My video of my favorite song, "Pardon Me," off of Staind's new album, "The Illusion of Progress," recorded @ Staind's release party/concert for said album at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC on 8-19-08 (Btw, that is Howard Stern's, Beetle -the namesake of Staind's song "This is Beetle"- in the crowd and brought on stage):..Someone SERIOUSLY should help me to get a job in the music business! I live for music and seeing it performed live (just look at my calender below). I'm intelligent, articulate, strong, and love music from just about all genres. Seriously, I'll happilly be a photographer, concert reporter, roadie, or whatever! Just give me a job in the music business, someone, PLEASE!!!Okay, that being said, to me there is NOTHING like seeing Staind, Aaron Lewis, Hurt, or Blue October perform live. I've come to realize that it IS my crack. Unlike crack, however, it hurts no one and nothing but my bank account. So, if they try to send me to rehab I'll say no, no, no...I won't go, go, go lol.
I took this pic @ Staind's York, PA show on 9/11/06. It's so not my best, but I love it, anyway!
...
;) HahahaThree Days Grace is one of my other favorite current bands. And, I couldn't love or respect Adam Gontier more for not only facing his demons, but for doing so publicly to help others and give back. Mad love and respect to the rest of the guys in 3DG for supporting Adam with this, also (Please watch this as well as parts 2-4):******************************************************

Make sure to check out my boy, Otan at http://www.myspace.com/Otanvargas68 and let him know what you thinkof his originals. ******************************************************

Now, back to me...Don't even think about calling me before noon, unless you REALLY need me. I'm an insufferable insomniac w/severe tardiness issues. However, my depths of love and loyalty are unsurpassed. I'm sometimes honest to a fault, and will often avoid issues I don't want to talk or lie about. I am a Christian that won't actively try to convert you, but I will be praying for you. I sometimes have a truckers mouth, but not around children or the elderly, and I honestly think God cares more about more important things. For me, just about nothing is sacred when it comes to humor, including the dead. However, I do draw the line @ getting personal when joking around (humor is not meant to hurt). I believe that political correctness is just about the most politically incorrect thing around. I have no tolerance for ignorance, biggotry, or uptight, inauthentic, self-righteous, hypocritical people. I will do anything that's not immoral or illegal for my loved ones. I generally get too attatched to people and things. Once I love someone, I love them for life. I am the best friend, girlfriend, or worker one could ask for. I'm modest (haha). I love to go out and do myriad things and socialize, but I NEED my alone time. I am half Italian and half Jewish...and Irish by association. My name means Queen...I expect and deserve to be treated as such. I am addicted to Staind and seeing them and their singer/songwriter, Aaron Lewis, and HURT live. There is absoloutely nothing like seeing them live! I AM the CONCERT QUEEN...I have seen just about everything.

Oh, and...
