I'd like to meet:
Family, Friends (past and present), Friends of Bill and Lois, social workers, people who I've caused harm to- I want to make it right.
Music:
I love most music. I don't want to live without it.
I desperately want to learn an instrument and be a rock star before I die, but my patience for practicing scales is slight.
Movies:
I love most movies. I recently saw Into the Wild and enjoyed it. Hero is one of my favorite movies. Gone Baby Gone was good. I love the Machinist as an amends movie. I cry when I watch movies. I love to laugh too.I stole this from Karm's profile:People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and god;
It was never between you and them anyway.-Mother Theresa
Television:
N/A - screw television, texting, yes even computers, cell phones- I miss just hanging out with people face to face without having someone look at the %#$!ing phone all the time!
Books:
I LOVE to read, so give me some recommendations! I hate picking up a book and investing time into it and it turns out to be crap! So I trust others' input- let me know what inspires you! I guess I should put some old favorites in here so that I can be of some help if anyone else wants a recommendation: The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, The Four Agreements, The Alchemist, Illusions, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, The Artists Way, The Fountainhead, East of Eden, Love in the Time of Cholera, The Little Prince, The Road Less Travelled, The Prophet, Middlesex, Lovely Bones, Dry, The Mists of Avalon, The Golden Compass.... so many more- if you think you like these and you want more recommendations or you have some to offer- let me know! :)
Heroes:
Everyone who has the guts to share their heart. Advocates of child welfare. Friends of Bill and Lois. My family and friends. My animals. I just love my Grandma to pieces and my Aunt is amazing. People who can let go and just abandon themselves to the here and now without expectation.
