About Me

Myspace Contact Tables
Try the BEST MySpace Editor and MySpace Layouts at MySpace Toolbox !I never know what to say here, since it's impossible to boil my personality down into a few pithy lines. Basically, I'm 44 years old, a writer/special ed teacher/film student. Polish/Irish native New Yorker who's lucky enough to be a snowbird and spend the winter in FL. I'm very much a smartass, will argue with you if you like, and will talk your ear off if you let me. I love theatre, movies, sports, art, my kids, my fiance. I'm a great cook. I can't draw but I paint very well. I'm a Libra, Aries rising, Capricorn moon. Anything else you'd like to know, ask me.

Which Star Wars Jedi/Sith are you?

Yoda
Dynamite in a small package, and long-lasting, like the Energizer bunny. While you are wise and calm, you are able to call on your killer instincts and be kick-ass. Some may call you a ‘sleeper’. With such great power comes some arrogance, but you are quick to return to humility and fix your mistakes. You have certainly left your mark on the world, in good and bad ways, and it was kinda sad to see you go. But no need to worry, you have gained immortality even though you can’t wield your toothpick of a lightsabre anymore.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Sometimes everybody, sometimes nobody, since we're all the same at our base. I'd love to meet most of the people whose art I admire, just for the conversation. And anyone that can make me laugh. Not just snicker - really laugh.

Something to Make Me Stop Hating Holidays

I finally have evidence that holidays can indeed bring about joy and healing, all previous evidence in my life to the contrary. As most of you probably know, I'm not a big fan of holidays, mainly beca...

Home

I've been dreaming a lot of home lately. By home, I mean Riverdale, years ago, back when I was growing up. I've been dreaming of flying down the streets, the night cold and dark, the trees bare and bl...

What a Difference a Year Makes

I used to hate New Year's Eve. To tell the truth, I haven't had a lot of spectacular New Year's Eves in my life. Mostly, they've either been spent at insufferable parties that I attended to be polite ...

Nomi’s Lament

It's amazing how easy it is to travel back in time. It really doesn't take much to send you on such a trip; all you need is a sensory image. Just one little trigger - a picture, and aroma, a sound. In...

Everyone Can Change

Everyone Can Change   I've heard this statement so many times - "everyone can change". So why does this sometimes not matter? I'm feeling a little ambivalent about my family right now. Not my hus...
