About Me

I have a few great passions in my life....my guitars, my writing, my friends, and my daughter (but not in that order) I think anything worth doing is worth doing to the best of your ability. I think it's amazing there are over 5 billion people on the planet, but in your lifetime, you may not even interact with more than a thousand on a personal level. Hundred dollar bills and friends..... there is no such thing as too many! I love all things music and all things Star Wars. I am very outgoing and can talk to just about anybody, though I am not fond of cheaters and liars. While I love getting friends requests, I will not accept anyone who doesn't at least send a message. I chat in some form or another with almost all of my friends. I'm not collecting people on here, so send a message if you want to be friends! ;)SPECIAL NOTE TO THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T READ MUCH - IN HOPES YOU'LL SEE THESE CAPS: I am NOT interested in being your friend if I have to "download Myspace Adult Content Viewer" and no, I don't care how you made millions on the internet, and finally, I don't want to see how to get a free PS3 or IPod.When I'm not getting into trouble, I like to sing.....I am the lead singer of the hard rock band, VEILSIDE. Look for us in late spring at a club near you!!MY BAND, VEILSIDE - go check us out! And check out this cool banner....And check out my slide show........

My Interests

Winter is in full swing and I am a summer person :( I love to sing, and do a bit of karaoke from time to time as well as write my own songs. I currently am working on a solo project as well as being the lead singer in VEILSIDE. I still want to be a Jedi, but I'm convinced I couldn't use those powers for good, so I'm sure I'd go to the dark side (scooby snacks and cookies!)STAR WARS ROCKS

I'd like to meet:

Fun and interesting people!! People who have similar interests, people who have nothing in common with me! I've met Hayden Christensen, who got knocked for his acting, but I thought he did a pretty good job. Oh HELL with Hayden (sorry, bud) somebody send me Natalie Portman!! (Although she sent all my nude photos back) :(How well do you know me? Take this quiz and find out!!

Music:

I like all kinds of music, and it doesn't even have to be in English to be good! But for those who love lists....Def Leppard, TOOL, Type O Negative, Hikaru Utada, Maroon 5, James Bonderman, Ryan Cabrera, Craig David, Howie Day, Liquid Soul, The Roots, Dashboard Confessionals, Rob Thomas, Matchbox 20, PM Dawn, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Pantera, Counting Crows, Jesus Jones, Trixter, Pete Loran, Journey, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Dead Can Dance, Lil John, Fitty-cent, Matthew Sweet, Radiohead, Goo Goo Dolls, Bascom Hill, Rascal Flatts, Hinder, Supermercado, Slick, Kenny Charles, David Kav, Court Jester, Dave Matthews Band, Usher, Mario, Megadeth, Keith Urban, Buck Cherry, and much much more!! I also write songs, as I own five guitars, and eventually I will be able to play the hell out of them! A killer guitar certainly makes you sound better ;) OH, AND I HAVE TO LIST MY BAND HERE, RIGHT? VEILSIDE!!

Movies:

I have more "chick flicks" than most women (I blame my mom for the hopeless romantic in me), but my favs include: Serendipity, The Family Man, Say Anything, Hi Fidelity, Must Love Dogs, The best love story of all time - The Notebook, and of course all the Star Wars movies!GO SITH!!

Television:

I don't watch much TV at all, but I'm a political nut, so I love watching CNN, as well as ESPN's Sportscenter for the scores. Without question the best damn show on TV is Nip/Tuck. It's the only show I would run home to see. Christian Troy is the bad boy I sometimes wish I was!!My band, VEILSIDE jamming at the Underground Lounge on May 19th - our rendition, of "Tush". Jonny broke a guitar string halfway through the first solo and STILL managed to pull it off!

Books:

I'm not much of a novel reader, but the bestest book ever is "Where the Red Fern Grows" by Wilson Rawls. I'm currently reading "The Science of Sex" by Dr. Kevin Pezzi (hey, it came recommended). I mostly read magazines like Men's Health, Men's Journal, Maxim, and Forbes. I think as I got older, I recognize the value in seeing the movie ;)

Heroes:

I admire different people for different reasons. My idol growing up was Joe Elliott of Def Leppard. I also admire Rob Thomas (great guy!), Barack Obama, John Edwards, and my friends, who have been there for me countless times. Without them, I have no idea if I would still be around!
