No one can be right all of the time, but it helps to be right most of the time.

About Me

I AM A
Hi! Welcome to my site. I'm Rachel - A 33-year-old (Grown & Sexy) young woman from... well all over the place. I've lived in several different places in different parts of the country including Cape Cod, Kansas/Missouri, Iowa, New York (City), Jersey and now Indianapolis. You could say I'm somewhat of a nomad! Truth be told, I have yet to find that which I would like to do for the rest of my life so I'm still in "search mode". I earned my degree from Iowa State University and consider myself to be a strong, intelligent, sincere, fun-loving individual. The best part of me? The AWESOME 12-year-old diamond named AJ who is my pride and joy. Hi Baby Boy! (Smile) My little Actor-to-be...

My Interests

Writing (my passion) and football. I'm a HUGE Herm Edwards fan (Go Chiefs!!) I consider myself pretty athletic (avid tennis player as of late and runner) and I've been called a "nerd" because I'd rather read a book than do pretty much anything else. Strange combination...

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

I'd like to meet:

Angela Bassett (My idol), Michael Jordan (who wouldn't), Alicia Keyes (beautiful soul), President Bush (so I can ask him what the hell is his problem?), J.K. Rowling (for those of you who don't know, Harry Potter author - that's the writer in me), John Legend and Anthony Hamilton (these two speak for themselves), Barbara Walters (the journalist in me), Stephen A. Smith (he's a tripp!), Busta Rhymes (doesn't he seem like he'd be madd cool?), Dave Chappell (I admire his candor and he's funny as hell), Russell Simmons (greatest business mind ever), Bill Gates (need I explain??)and of course, Oprah (she's an amazing woman).

Music:

R&B, REAL Hip Hop (old skool like Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Eric B and Rakim and L.O.N.S.) and Jazz (both contemporary and traditional)

Movies:

I love Comedy, Action and some dramas. I can certainly be sappy and watch the chick flicks but I prefer action adventure more than anything (like Lord of the Rings or Mission Impossible - that kinda movie).

Television:

SPORTSCENTER!!! At least during football and basketball season. The summer sucks for ESPN - who cares about baseball and golf? I LOVE CSI Miami (Horatio is the man!!) and Without A Trace. I miss ALIAS already (so sad) and I'm completely hooked on "So You Think You Can Dance?" I often wonder if I'm too old to take up ballet...

Books:

Any... I am a FREAK when it comes to reading. I enjoy both fiction AND non-fiction (mostly biographies) - Two books I would definitely suggest are Divided Soul: The Life of Marvin Gaye by David Ritz and Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. Also, for those of you who enjoy a little light reading, the Harry Potter series is surprisingly well written (yes it's enjoyable, even for adults). The Art of War by SunTzu is amazing too for those of you business minds...

Heroes:

My hero is Jesus Christ. Who better? But as for me.... I am The Flash The Flash 85% Hulk 80% Wonder Woman 75% Iron Man 75% Robin 70% Spider-Man 65% Green Lantern 65% Superman 60% Supergirl 60% Catwoman 50% Batman 25% Fast, athletic and flirtatious.
