The thoughts in my head have minds of their own.

About Me

I'm a combination of everything you could like and dislike in a person. I'm a humanitarian, who stutters in company. I'm bold and daring. Charming and caring. I love the challenges of everyday life. The ups and downs. I endulge in my emotions and have tendacy to get to caught inside my mind. I'm nervous and anxious. I'm a lover and a fighter. I have very few solid opinions. I like just about everything. At first I'm timid and quiet. And then when comfort settles in, I talk too much. I'm a ball of passion. Artistic and loyal to my creations. I have the ability to see inside of people and find the words to soothe them. Yet I'm not judgement. I'm not racist, fasist, or political. I'm a helper bee. Finding solace in the smiles of those around me. I'm the type who would much rather slip on a banana peel to get laughs then to throw one down and wait. I'm not afraid of much. Mostly people I find very attractive. I'm gathering confidence with age and feel I have a purpose in the world. Yet, I'm not egotistical. I get depressed, and I spend too much time alone. I like the outdoors. Mother is beautiful. I adore animals and usually they like me right away. I'm very interested in the differences between us. I don't argue much. I see multiple sides to everything I believe. I have an alarming talent for poetry and prose, and a fabulous sense of humor. I have bad skin, but wonderful eyes and lips. I'm peaceful and neurotic. A loyal friend and a symaphathic lover. I enjoy the guitar-though I'm not much good. Music is a wonderful thing. Especailly when striped of anything but emotion. I'm listening to a lot of classical lately but will always love the rock and roll. I've been lucky to have met so many great people. My family and my friends are my cornerstone. I love them all. They inspire me to great lengths.

My Interests

Art(ALL types), friendship, strangers, emotion, life and death. Abstractions and metaphors. Mother Nature. Atypical Conversations. Spell check.

I'd like to meet:

Elvis. King Kong. Captain Crunch. Strip Club owners(that would be cool huh). The Little Mermaid. Jack in the Box. Christopher Columbus. Thomas Jefferson. The guy who does the voice overs in every movie preview. Any girl in any television commercial(They are all so happy and sexy and unreal). James Ridden Howerdowl(I made that one up, but if you know a dude with that name please refer him to me). Someone who smiles all the time so I could tell them something depressing(maybe just make them watch the news for a few hours). Someone who cries all the time so I could give them a hug and tell them something nice. Davey Jones seems kinda neat. A group full of Critics. Oh, I got one. The people who get to decide what is good and bad as far as looks go. Not the actors they make wear it, but the people who design it and make the actors wear it so you want to buy it. I have a few things to say to those people. A person who knows a whole bunch about each major religion(I'd just listen for a full day to each one). One of those ultimate fighting champions. And...the richest person in the world(Is it Gates, I don't know) so I could ask for a couple bucks to buy a better Who I'd Like to Meet: section. HA! My wifey wife. My soul mate. My eternal lover. My childs mother. (All 4 of those last ones I would like to reside inside the same person). Yeah, I'm a dreamer.

Heroes:

The Grey Area

Traded in this old shadow.  Felt it old and worn out.  A blade of grass more wonderful than a lifetime laced with doubt.  It moves inside of me up and then down.  As sad as a brand...
