Pass the weak, hurdle the dead.....I AM A RUNNER

About Me

PACERS RUNNING COMPANY WEBSITE
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength,
who makes enormous demands on me,
who does not doubt my courage or my toughness,
who does not believe me naive or innocent,
who has the courage to treat me like a woman. -Anais Nin
Hi old and new friends. How goes it? Welp to start I guess I can say I'm a movie and history buff. History-specifically US history and native american history. . . thus the major. In the near future, I hope to become an elementary school teacher or do something with college recruitment/advising, but I think I'm gonna put that on the side for a bit to take a break from school! And yes, it’s been a long break, but I’m definitely exploring other options life has to offer.
Recently, I started my own part-time home based business with Arbonne International (click on the link to the left) which is in the health and wellness industry. Over the last year or so I’ve really become more conscious of the things I’m putting on and in my body. You can’t expect to run a marathon and not take care of yourself. Arbonne and it’s products can definitely benefit almost every individual. So check it out and hit me up if you have any questions: [email protected]
I love hanging out with all my amigos. I'm always down to do a little Taco Tues., Happy Hour at Dave and Busters, or even some good sampler platter at Black Angus Wednesday with my friends. Oh the potato skins. Yummy!
To stay active and in shape, I’ve really dedicated myself to my running. Joining a running club has been so awesome and taught me so much. If you ever feel like joining us for a run day, just come on down. All are welcome. When I’m not hitting the pavement or doing trail runs with my club, I like to do easy mountain bike riding, pilates, trail walks and running around after my nephews!
Family is definitely an important part of my life. I love my Mommy! I have an older sister and my lil baby brother is a tough Marine who has served over in Iraq twice and come back safe! I’m in the Arbonne business with my sister and I couldn’t be happier that we have definitely reached a whole other level of our relationship. I'm a proud aunt, with two nephews and a niece!
"I know why familles were created, with all their imperfections. They humanize you. They are made to make you forget yourself occasionally, so that the beautiful balance of life is not destroyed. -Anais Nin "
Personalitiy wise: I'm pretty laid back, except on the road! I hate traffic, gawkers that slow the freeway down, and people who drive 65 in the fast lane! I love my friends, don't take shit from anyone, and always try to stay true to myself!
So feel free to drop me a message or leave a comment . . . .new and long time friends! So . . .there's me in a nutshell . . .if ya wanna know more hit me up on the old myspace or .. Stinkums00

I'd like to meet:

"Each friend represents a world in us,
a world possibly not born until they arrive,
and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."

Music:

Where words fail,
music speaks

I am a total music lover. I listen to everything from oldies, hip hop, country, salsa, rock en espanol to punk. Hip-hop favorites . . . .anything with a good beat and I'm shaking my ass to it! Anybody who's been to the club with me knows that! Yea, Sonia girl!
I go absolutely mad for the old school jamz - Earth, Wind and Fire, Delfonics, Isley Brothers, Stylistics, and the chicano old school jamz like War and El Chicano. My favorite oldies song of all time is I Only Have Eyes For You by The Flamingos. I absolutely melt! My fav singer from way back . . .Miss Lady Day herself . . . .Billie Holiday!Gotta love her sound and words---
"A kiss that is never tasted, is forever and ever wasted." Along that same jazzy blues line: Nina Simone, Diana Krall, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington.
Also, I'm definately a child of the 80's . . .Berlin, Depeche Mode, Blondie, The Cure, Tears for Fears and of course, Prince are just a few of my flashback favorites!
Alternative, punk favorites and other misc.(being added by the day) favorites are Live, Counting Crows, Beth Hart, Tony Lucca, Stone Temple Pilots, Adema, Bad Religion, AFI, Disturbed, Metallica, NIN, Deftones, Cranberries, Stained, Mazzy Star, Emiliana Torrini, The Matches, Plain White T's, Bush, No Doubt, Evanessence, Linkin Park, Incubus, Dynamite Boy, Heart, Eagles, The Doors, , Thrice, Cake, The Mars Volta, Monsters Are Waiting, Social Distortion, RxBandits, Violent Femmes, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Weezer . . again only to name a few!
:)But right now, my ultimate fav is Mrs. Gwen Stefani. I've loved that girl from way back. Can't wait for No Doubt to come out with a record again.

Movies:

"If the people we love are taken from us, the way they live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever..."
"If the people we love are taken from us, the way they live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever....People once believed, that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens, that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes the crow could bring that soul back to put the wrong things right."
I love all kinds of movies! anything with Fred Astaire, Dumb and Dumber, Adam Sandler movies, Ben Stiller movies, The Lost Boys, The Goonies, Weird Science, 80's Brat pack movies , Rocky movies (stallone could have stopped at ..4), Usual Suspects, Brad Pitt movies, American History X-- "There was a moment... when I used to blame everything and everyone... for all the pain and suffering and vile things that happened to me, that I saw happen to my people. Used to blame everybody. Blamed white people, blamed society, blamed God. I didn't get no answers 'cause I was asking the wrong questions. You have to ask the right questions...Like what?...Has anything you've done made your life better?" ,
Smoke Signals, Beetlejuice, call me crazy but I really liked both Mummy movies, Dirty Dancing, Labyrinth, What Dreams May Come-- "Everybody's hell is different. It's not all fire and pain. The real hell is your life gone wrong." ,
BOMB MOVIE RIGHT HERE----- Crash------http://www.crashfilm.com/ .. , Walk the Line--LOVED IT!

Girl Interupted, Velvet Goldmine-- "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person... Give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth."

,Full Metal Jacket, Circle of Friends, Love & Basketball, The Color Purple-- "Who you think you is? You can curse nobody. Look at you. Your black, your poor, your ugly, your a woman, your nothing at all...I'm poor, black, I may even be ugly, but dear God I'm here, I'm here!" ,
Kings of Comedy and the kiddy movies like Finding Nemo, Ice Age, Robots, Lelo and Stitch, Incredibles--Edna Mode is the shit, daaaaaaaaarling!

Television:


Alright anybody who's even met me once or even talked to me knows my favorite television show:The Simpsons!!!!!!!!! I just love that dysfunctional nuclear family. Plus, there are such good one liners, The Simpsons have a phrase for any occassion. I LOVE IT! Simpsonism:
"You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.''''Son, when you participate in sporting events it's not whether you win or lose, it's how drunk you get.''"Church, cult, cult, church, so we get bored somewhere else every Sunday."''I saw weird stuff in that place last night. Weird, strange, sick, twisted, godless, evil stuff. And I want in.''"Mom, can we go Catholic so we can get communion wafers and booze?""
My most recent additions are Grey's Anatomy,The L Word, and The Tudors
.. width="425" height="350" ....
Ghost Hunters on SciFi and Going Tribal on Discovery.....I totally dig these shows! Check em out! Some other fav shows are Nip/Tuck, The L Word (1st season with Karina Lombard), Law and Order:SVU, Smallville(gettin a little corny though), Desperate Housewives, Married with Children, Everybody Loves Raymond, Will and Grace, WildBoyz, Boiling Points, Surreal Life, Golden Girls, I love Lucy, The Backyardigans (due to my 2 yr. old nephew), and from way back in the day My-So-Called-Life:"This life has been a test. If it had been an actual life, you would have received actual instructions on where to go and what to do."

Books:


Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.netI'm a big fan of Anne Rice: Vampire chronicles and the Mayfair Witches series. I used to read SO MUCH and loved it, but college definately killed any desire to do outside reading. Tragically I can't even concentrate on a book for more than 15 min. before I realize I'm just staring at the pages. Academically, I like God is Red, The State of Native America, In the Spirit of Crazy Horse and anything else that tickles my fancy...

"A people is not defeated until the hearts of its women are on the ground."

PIMA

Heroes:



My lil bro for being brave for all of us and kicking ass over in Iraq.Of course my Mommy who raised 3 kids on her own! She's super mom. She's always been there from day one, I can count on her for anything (except to pick up her cell phone-adults and technology don't mix), always there to support me and give me that little boost of motivation, and she's the only one I would turn to if i was in trouble or needed a shoulder to cry on. Plus, she'll kick your ass if you mess with any of her kids!
You are a true nature girl!
