About Me


A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You'd think more people would listen to what he had to say!
I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong?
What if you're making a mistake you can't undo?

The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves.
We have to make our own mistakes.
We have to learn our own lessons.

We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant.
That knowing is better than wondering,
that waking is better than sleeping,
and even the biggest failure, even the worst,
beat the hell out of never trying.

At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made.
So, you can waste your lives drawing lines.
Or you can live your life crossing them.

But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross.
It's when you cry just a little, but you laugh in the middle, that you've made it.♥
Sierra still wins at life, kthnx. I apologize for any confusion the lack of that being there may have caused.

I'd like to meet:

I like meeting new people in general, assuming you don't suck. :)
I want to meet people who think outside the box, anyone who can teach me something new or worthwhile.

Honestly, I'd just like to meet someone who can genuinely appreciate me for who I am, flaws and all. If you can do that, I will definitely reciprocate. If you find you have a habit of doing whatever it takes to help a friend in need, I want to meet you. There are not enough of us in the world, and we are taken advantage of far too often. I've found a handful of people like this already, they are my closest friends, and I love them to death.

I miss Jersey nights.
I'd like to meet someone with intelligence, a sense of humor, an eclectic variety of musical appreciation, and once again, someone who can teach me something new or worthwhile! I really enjoy learning new things!


Who I'd prefer not to meet:
I won't tolerate anyone's bullshit so don't waste your time with me if that's what you're all about.
Life is too short for me to deal with your drama!

Music:

The music section was well past overdue for an update, but why not just suggest more music to me anyway? Try me, you never know I might love it!

Movies:

I'm that one person in a room full of people who have never seen [that movie]. Someone should work on that, break my movie shell.

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Samantha Who?, Beauty & the Geek, anything on TLC, Discovery, or Disney ♥

Books:

Suggest one, I really enjoy reading. =]

Heroes:


Ally Francis. (owns Conan O'Brien.
Dave Chappelle.
Kristen Fluehr.
Sierra Carr.
Scruff McGruff .
