Am I right, or am I right?

About Me

I'm a pretty normal person, but not necessarily your definition of typical. I am defined by what I love - the things I adore with a relentless passion. I know what I want my future to hold, and I'm looking forward to making those dreams a reality. "The best thing about life is knowing you put it together..." I expect the unexpected and live with no regrets. I'm up for anything and I'm all about fun and spontaneity.
"You got one life; Live it. Follow your dreams, quit your job, drop out of school, tell your boyfriend that he’s lousy and walk out the door. This is your time, this is your life. Dream as big as you want to; it’s the cheapest thing you’ll ever do." -J.L.
"See the animal in his cage that you built... Are you sure what side you're on? Better not look him too closely in the eye... Are you sure what side of the glass you are on? See the safety of the life you have built... Everything where it belongs. Feel the hollowness inside of your heart... And it's all, Right where it belongsWhat if everything around you, Isn't quite as it seems? What if all the world you think you know, Is an elaborate dream? And if you look at your reflection... Is it all you want it to be? What if you could look right through the cracks? Would you find yourself, Find yourself afraid to see?What if all the world's inside of your head? Just creations of your own? Your devils and your gods, All the living and the dead And you're really all alone? You can live in this illusion, You can choose to believe... You keep looking but you can't find the woods, While you're hiding in the trees" -T.R.
"I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes. I've learned that it takes years to build trust, and it only takes suspicion; not proof, to destroy it. I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others; they are more screwed up than you think. I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon, and all the less important ones never go away."
-Marilyn Monroe

My Interests

My life pretty much revolves around music. I'm a concert person... I'm always going to shows and I enjoy seeing awesome bands with my concert buddies! I'm a horseback rider (been riding since I turned 7) and I own two horses. I'm somewhat artistic and creative and I like writing a lot in my spare time.

I'd like to meet:


"So brown eyes I'll hold you near,
cuz you're the only song I want to hear,
a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere."


Trent Reznor, Dane Cook, Josh Freese, Dave Grohl, Kathy Griffin, Conan O'Brien

Music:

I like my rock rough around the edges. I'm into bands that are unpredictable and know of no boundaries... true artists that have something to say and know how to say it... musicians who have the power to shatter the barrier between artists and listeners... music that is loud and in your face...

Let yourself be educated:

Movies:



I like any movie that stars Kate Hudson, Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Harrison Ford, Hilary Swank, Christian Bale... just to name a few people.

Books:

I'm an avid reader... I can't fall asleep without reading a book (believe me it's a curse). Some favorites: Water for Elephants, Coma Therapy, The Great Gatsby, The Alchemist, The Notebook...

Heroes:

My mom, my older brother, my best friends, Spongebob Squarepants, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Jesus the Christ, Gumby, KROQ, Trent Reznor, Roald Dahl, Noah Webster, Shel Silverstein, Walt Disney, my horses, my cat... they have all been or still are a great source of help or escape.
