AND LIFE GOES ON...AND ON

About Me


I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH DAYDREAMING…I’LL ADMITT THAT. OFTEN TIMES I CAN’T FALL ASLEEP AT NIGHT BECAUSE I’M SO ENGROSSED IN THOUGHTS OF MY FUTURE. PERHAPS I’LL GROW OUT OF THIS…BUT I HOPE NOT. ANYWAY…I WAS AWAKE AGAIN LAST NIGHT DREAMING ABOUT MY DREAMS, AND IT SUDDENLY CAME TO ME JUST AS I WAS STARTING TO DRIFT INTO THAT FUZZY PLACE BETWEEN WAKEFULLNESS AND SLEEP THAT I SHOULD WRITE SOME OF MY DREAMS DOWN AND CHECK THEM OFF AS THEY ARE DONE. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT GIVE ME AN INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE ON MY LIFE, AND IT HAS. SO HERE THEY ARE…SOME I’M SURE WILL HAPPEN…OTHERS MAY NOT. BUT THESE ARE DREAMS, AND WHAT IS LIFE BUT REALITY IN THE PURSUIT OF DREAMS???

My Interests

SCUBA DIVING, TRAVELING, PAINTING, READING, WATCHING MOVIES, LISTENING TO MUSIC, AND PROOVING TO BE A GENERAL NUISANCE TO GLOBAL SOCIETY.

I'd like to meet:

PEOPLE WHO WOULD ACTUALLY READ WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN ON MY PAGE AND NOT JUST LOOK AT MY PICS. GENUINE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T JUST LOOKING FOR ANOTHER FAKE MYSPACE FRIEND JUST SO THEY CAN BRAG ABOUT HAVING 788 "FRIENDS." PEOPLE WHO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR BUT ARE STILL NOT AFRAID OF HAVING A REAL CONVERSATION.

Music:



GEE WIZ...THE ONLY MUSIC I REALLY CAN'T STAND IS RAP, BUT EVEN THEN THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS. SO TAKE YOUR PICK--COUNTRY, CLASSICAL, ROCK--I LIKE EM ALL. MY FAVORITE BANDS/SINGERS ARE LIFEHOUSE, SWITCHFOOT, THE CRANBERRIES, LOREENA MCKENNITT, SUFJAN STEVENS, SARAH MCLACHLAN, JOHNNY CASH, DEAN MARTIN, FRANK SINATRA, AND LUCIANO POVAROTTI. BUT I ALSO REALLY LIKE SOUNDTRACKS FROM MY FAVORITE MOVIES.

Movies:

LORD OF THE RINGS, HARRY POTTER, RAT RACE, SUPERMAN RETURNS, EVER AFTER, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, THE ENDLESS SUMMMER II, NAPOLEON DYNOMITE, SIGNS, THE VILLAGE, X-MEN 1 AND 2, MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, EMMA, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, DRACULA 2000, AND DEAR FRANKIE.

Television:

I AM COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY OBSESSED WITH THE LOST SERIES!! IT CAN BE SO MUCH FUN TO BE COMPLETLY CONFUSED ALL THE TIME. THE CSI SERIES AND SURVIVOR ARE FUN TO WATCH TOO, ANNNNND...OH...HOUSE! I LOVE THAT SURLY DOC!

Books:

WELL RIGHT NOW THE BOOKS THAT ARE ON MY LIST TO READ ARE... THE LAST IN THE INHERITANCE SERIES, WHEEL OF TIME BOOK 12, A WHOLE FREAKIN STACK OF CLASSICS THAT I BOUGHT ON EBAY (WAHOO EBAY!!), AND PRETTY MUCH WHATEVER ELSE COMES MY WAY AND LOOKS DECENTLY APPEALING. IF YOU HAVE ANY GOOD SUGGESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I'M ALWAYS SCOUTING FOR A GOOD READ, AND I'LL READ PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING.

AS FAR AS WHAT MY FAVORITE BOOKS ARE...THEY ARE, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER...THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, PETER PAN, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, THE GIVER, THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA SERIES, LORD OF THE RINGS, THE HOBBIT, HARRY POTTER, ERAGON, ELDEST...

Heroes:

JESUS, MY MOM, MY DAD, MY OLDER BROTHER, AND A MILLION OTHERS FOR A MILLION REASONS.

My Blog

Wool coats, Tie-dyed jeans and Muslim filled Streets Oh my!

As anyone who knows me personally may tell you, I love...no...adore to travel. Every couple of months at least I must leave my home and go somewhere. If I do not I find that I become irritable and los...
