About Me

I decided that I needed to update this section...as usual, my life is continuously changing. I am truly a work in progress...sometimes I feel that I am taking only one step forward and twenty steps back. But throughout the whirlwind of my life, I have managed to grasp and hold on to the realization that everything happens for a reason. I rely on a higher power to help me on my journey of self-discovery and when I look back on the past I can honestly say that everything has always worked out the way it should. So as I continue in the betterment of myself as a human being, I seek the serentity that for so long I thought did not exist and I hold on to the belief that whether I know it or not, "...the universe is unfolding as it should. ***********************************************************I burp but I'm classy. I swear. I smoke but I'm going to quit. I hate putting a label on myself. I'm definitely crazy at times (in a good way). I hate drama. I talk about my feelings. I HATE when people say they're going to do something and don't do it. I'm in the beginning stages of vegetarianism. I can't deal with ignorance, stupidity, or people that don't try to help themselves. I want bagpipes at my wedding and funeral. I have the greatest family in the world. I'm opinionated and open minded...I make my own decisions and think for myself. I'm a hopeless romantic but I have standards. I can hang out with bikers or politicians. I've been to Europe. I've had a best friend die. I've been effed over more times than I'd like to think of but I'm glad it happened. I owned a house with my ex who is still one of my good friends and we have joint custody of my 4 year old Boxer. I'm sarcastic and I laugh at myself more than anyone else. I've been through a lot but I've dealt with it. I'm realizing just how strong I am. I don't hold anything back so ask away...

My Interests

Skydiving, motorcycles, the Sox, Pats, the human mind, criminology, dogs (love my girl!), being with family and friends, coffee, sushi, stimuating conversations, educating myself, thinking, tattoos, photography, love, passion, traveling, anything to do with Ireland, live music, meeting new people, astrology, the law of attraction.

I'd like to meet:

I love meeting new people who can have fun and make me laugh. People who can enlighten me and who think for themselves. Anyone who knows who they are and is willing to do whatever it takes to be a better person. I'd eventually like to meet my soul mate...aww, I'm such a sap!

Music:

Pretty much everything! Depends on my mood, I guess. Dave Matthews will always be my favorite musician, though, along with Tool and O.A.R. I know, very different! My dad and uncle are drummers so I've been exposed to so many genres, especially rock/classic rock and country. Some of my favorites also include 311, Ani DiFranco, Secondhand Serenade, David Gray, A Perfect Circle, Sick Puppies, Elliot Smith, Ben Harper, Jeff Buckley, The Bravery, 30 Seconds to Mars, Godsmack, The Fray, Imogen Heap, Fuel, Our Lady Peace, Plumb, Radiohead, Crossfade, Papa Roach, Bob Dylan, Ray Lamontagne, Tori Amos, Louie DeVito...I have a pretty diverse collection in the IPod!!

Movies:

The Boondock Saints is the GREATEST movie EVER!! As my friends know, I'm not much of a movie person! It's not because I don't like to watch them, but more like I just never did! So I have quite a few to catch up on! I'm a big fan of Goodwill Hunting, A Bronx Tale, Seven, Swingers, Running Scared, Fight Club, A Princess Bride, and some others that I actually did see!

Television:

24, Prison Break, Law & Order, Grey's Anatomy, Miami Ink, LA Ink, TLC and the Discovery Channel.

Books:

I've read so many!!

Heroes:

My mom and dad...Two of the greatest and most amazing people I know. For all that they have each endured, their strength and courage never ceases to amaze me. I only hope to be half of what they are.And all the men and women in the Armed Forces who are fighting for us...inexplicable appreciation and admiration for them...THANK YOU!!! :)
