About Me

I'm Sagittarius and have been playing bass guitar on and off since the age of 15. YES! I did the whole college thing, worked as a zombie and slave in a corporate cubical torture chamber for a decade and then I got married to my hubby and had my children whom I cherish! I also worked as a part-time aerobics instructor and personal trainer as well for an entire decade. But, that side thing came to an end *thanks* to idiots that must have gotten their driver's licenses in a Cracker Jax box on acid!...Anyway..........I played with a local blues/rock band until about 2 months ago called " The Tongue Tramps". Right now, I am just taking a break trying to find where I truly belong with music and art, study and spend more quality time with my family. Actually, I just bought a Fender Strat in Sept. and I'm interested in getting more involved with guitar than bass these days. I also enjoy writing about everything. It's probably my one true gift. I love reading and writing poetry as well.I am not the shy type and I am very locquacious. But, ask anyone who knows me...I am very modest and I'm my own worst critic! I take this life seriously and believe in Karma. I REALLY love to laugh!!! It's true! Laughter is the best medicine...oh, and I like wild horses.Just searching for some light and trying to be as much of one as I can be in the darkness. Nothing more, nothing less...I feel it is my calling to be some kind of guide in a twisted way...I gave up on all the material goals - they will just keep you chasing rainbows IMHO."Most people think Great God will come from the sky Take away everything And make everybody feel high But if you know what life is worth You would look for yours on earth And now you see the light So stand up for your right." (Bob Marley R.I.P.)

My Interests


I edited my layout at MySpaceMatrix.com , check out these Myspace Layouts!
Nuturing my family with as much love as humanly possible, MUSIC, did I say MUSIC!?!?,organics,nutritional healing, social psychology, history, spirituality, fashion, the art of humor, film and "WHY?" (inside joke) and anything and everything basically. I am not interested in couch jokey'in, auto shows, WWF and cheezy stuff.I encourage ALL to invest in organic farming and agriculture and support your local organic ( health/whole foods) stores!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is a gem..... width="425" height="350" ..

Music:

neo-classical melodic rock/metal ....In case u haven't noticed, hee hee, I have what some may see as a fetish for Uli Jon Roth -- in reality, he is my muse in MANY ways and I feel as though he demonstrates and teaches the highest standard of musicianship in the world today and he's my living guide...I am also just as much inspired by his brother "Zeno" Zeno Roth: check out his profile on my top friends list. He has a totally awesome new CD out "Runway to the Gods" I am metal to the core, but, I am also growing to appreciate the work and genius of the Master Composers and find neo-classical music and melodic metal the most powerful and dynamic avenue to self-expression...musically speaking).I also like and appreciate artists and musicians across all genres. (i.e. reggae)May I mention that I believe I've spotted an absolute treasure whom has to be one of the most underrated and underacknowledged prodigy whizzes on guitar. His music is just into another realm ! His name is TOBY KNAPP ( Remember his name or you will hear of it eventually!( goddamnit! ;) Toby..hee hee! ) I just invested (and will continue to invest) in this artist. Check out his latest releases on CD: "Polarizing Lines" and "Waxen". Check it out metalheads! One of his tunes is playing on my profile...ALL INSTRUMENTAL METAL!! ... AWESOME!I'm very excited about this artist "Toby Knapp" and support this label - "Metalbolic Records" as it was created to support underground Metal artists with heeps of talent and to get their music HEARD as the artists deserve and for the audience as well. img src="http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/fd3476c794.jpg "

Movies:

Tombstone, The Wedding Singer, The Perfect Storm, Pulp Fiction, The Shining, War of the Worlds, The Matrix...drawing a blank all of a sudden. Ahh! New one: Se7en

Television:

OFF as much as humanly possible. I HATE t.v.!!! There's so much more to see (experience)out there than just sitting like a zombie in front of the t.v. ...as long as it's something you can learn by or get some mental stimulation from. Gotta love Blue's Clues and Oobie! MY pet peeve is hypocrisy in the religious sect and can't stand televangelists....To that I have to say: .. width="425" height="350" ..not here to offend anyone , just particulary annoying and FUNNY!

Books:

Anything I can learn from..."A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it's not open." Frank Zappa (R.I.P.)

Heroes:

Doc Holiday ( Tombstone reference ),side note:I tend to find a little bit of a hero in just about every person ...

If you are a musician, please read

Most of us musicians are all on the same journey. We were inspired to play our instruments at some point and to develop our talent and nurture our gift. Think back to when you listened to a song by yo...
