About Me


Salamé!
I am a glorious imperfect human. Very much amiable, 98% ethical, compassionate, & attempt to avoid conflict like the plague. I like a bit of routine, am pretty efficient, dependable, trustworthy, sensitive, imaginative, creative, & confused as hell.
Anything is everything to me.
I am a simple gal with a very complex mind. Yeah, thats right.. Im a reader. I think too much. It has been said that I have a heart of gold... but so does a hard-boiled egg. Hah.
I am devoted to & engaged to the only satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence. My heart, my best friend, my most favorite artist of all time, Big Gabe aka gabeskink.
If we all work on the assumption that what is told to be true & generally accepted as being true.. really IS true, then there is little hope for advancement in our lives. For life is a process of trial and error. None of us are immune to humanity. Especially when considering humanity is not always humane.
Think me crazy. But I want to heal & I want you to too, whoever you are. (It isnt easy & we wont always understand.) But It doesnt matter, I just want the worlds pain to subside. No matter what, your path is yours. Dont follow misery or worry. (Try to let it go.) Devote every moment of your life to improving your dreams. (Because you CAN succeed.) Love your world. (We are all we have.) Cherish the good you do. (Because most others will not.) Let go of hatred. (It can & will deplete you.) Dream of true, unconditional, love. (Because although rare.. it IS real.) Believe in truth & honesty. (They are the most valuable gift you can give or receive.)
All in all, Im just some kooky broad attempting to live this ephemeral existence. Nothing more. Nothing less.

My Interests


Hmmm. Tough one. I have SOME interest in just about everything really. My mind is something of a whirlwind.. full of thoughts, ideas, memories, fantasies & then some. Narrowing it all down has proven much more difficult than I initially anticipated & I am certain I will add more as time passes. Nonetheless, it suppose it goes a little something like this...

Movies:



    .
Flixster .

Television:


watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye. So of course, I do it anyway. I enjoy just about anything involving sarcastic humor, witty dialogue, forensic science, or intellectual gain.

In other words, an unhealthy diet of late night/early morning Adult Swim, First 48, City Confidential, Top Chef, Sci Fi Channel, The History & Sundance Channel... other channels. I am however currently obsessed with the series ICONOCLASTS! Seriously, If you have not yet seen it.. DO!

Books:


anything pertaining to poetry & prose, art, self discovery, biographies, print books, & general non fiction / fiction containing an interesting story line. The Classics, of course!

Anything & everything George Gordon, Soren Kierkegaard , Harlan Ellison & Deepak Chopra.

See It Through

In moments when my own soul denies me access to insight.. I turn to the wisdom of others.... Namely, poets. Go figure. *shrug* Nonetheless, I ran across this poem by Edgar Albert Guest & thought I...
