Heroes
My 96 year old grandmother (may she rest in peace), my friend Hue for living life like he wants to and not putting up with bullshit, David Gray for having more soul and passion that I could ever hope to muster. All the amazing musicians of the world that create masterpieces for the world to enjoy without sacrificing their integrity in the process.
I think of myself as a true individual, and I don’t fit the typical stereotypes. I keep people guessing, but not intentionally – most people just can’t quite figure me out. I used to be pretty shy, but not so much anymore. I love to do things that most people think are insane. Spontaneous road trips to ride roller coasters or go to the beach are not uncommon. I like to do the unexpected as much as possible, because it makes me feel more alive. I try to live life to the fullest every day so that I don't look back and wonder why I didn't live more or do things that I wanted to do. Some of the happiest days in my life have been days that I decided to take a trip at the last second, put some stuff in a bag and ran out the door. I’m not afraid to take risks – I thrive on them actually!
Although I live in Atlanta, I try to travel as much as possible. I'm usually gone at least one weekend out of every month, sometimes more. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the world in the next few years. It is something that I've put off for way too long.
I love music, and it has been a big part of my life since I was a kid. I sort of retired from DJing in the club world, but I still enjoy the feeling of lifting someone’s spirits with music. Check out my Pandora stations if you want to get a feel for what I listen to. Good luck trying to find any pattern. My iPod has changed my life, and it basically goes everywhere that I go. I love to listen to music in the car, and I love road trips. For me, music makes driving more fun, and I don’t think about the time as much.
I believe things happen in our lives because we attract them to ourselves. This is a concept that I really want to get my head around so I can apply it more in my daily life. I know I attracted my soul mate and I've never been happier!
Who I'd like to meet: People who have a similar grit and determination as I do, but also know to have a good time. I love being around people that aren't afraid to do something silly AND admit it to others. I like people who share my sarcastic wit and enjoy turning less than ideal situations into sources of entertainment. Basically, anyone who is not jaded to the point that they cannot crack a smile and laugh at themselves from time to time.
