About Me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hello..well, what can I say? I moved to Washington State in 04 from Atlanta and lived there before that since age 10. I love the West Coast and the get homesick for the East Coast too. I miss mostly the cardinals in the Springtime and the loud chriping crickets & cicadas in the warm, air-conditioned Southern nights, lol.. but really being here is an adventure too. I live next to some of the most majestic, beautiful mountains in the world.. I have a panoramic view from apt (if its not raining)of Tiger, Squwak, and Cougar Mts and the tip of Mt. Rainer on a clear day. I am blessed with a loving family both here in Seattle area and in Atlanta. We have hit some bumpy places and been faced with some insanely crazy situations, but we are always somehow managing to pull each other through this. I am Spiritual and grasp and uphold a strong set of beliefs. I do feel, though I hate the word eclectic, it incorporates more than just one fixed doctirne. Its very complicated to put into words, but I think if you know me you understand what I am referring to, or perhaps explore this page.. maybe it will reflect some, maybe not; Though, obviously, I am not my "friends"... I am me, an individual struggling to survive in the world like everyone else. I get sad, lonely, and depressed...but try not to wallow it. I lost someone very close to me when I was 27 whom I met when I was just 14; I have never "gotten over" it completely. I believe he is in a better place now. I want to believe that.XOXOXOXO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AROUND HER WATERFALLS DANCE
IN TURQUOISE, LIGHT RAYS SHINE A DAY
FULL OF LIFE.. AND COLOR, AND REFLECT
THE PERFECT...AND IMPERFECT MOMENT
JUST LONG ENOUGH TO RETURN AGAIN
TO THE CLOUDS.
A SLIVER OF THAT SOUL IN HER EYES,
SHE FEELS DREAMILY REMINDED
OF A STORY FROM LONG AGO..
WHERE THAT MOMENT LASTED FOR AN
HOUR, AND AN HOUR LIKE ETERNITY
WITH ANGELS, ASKING HER THE WAY
TO HER GARDEN PLAYGROUND

Okay so there are a few bands besides the Grateful Dead..lol (though not many;) People who have known me a while know my other deep love is the Cocteau Twins ..and my obsession (along with many other devoted fans) with Liz Fraser's voice. Cocteau Twins formed in Scotland 1981, later moving to England until their break-up in 1996. Liz(lead vocalist)has performed with artists such as Peter Gabriel and her voice can be heard in background of many motion soundtracks including Lord of the Rings and A Midsummer Night's Dream. I feel so lucky to have met her backstage one of the two times I got to see them perform. {Also if you touch with cursor the bottom of either YouTube screens, small windows will appear and you can view some of my favorites right from this YouTubeBox..while your at it..watch more}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
