L.A. BRat

I could write a book about mi vida loca...this story needs to be told! "I've got fire, fire, fire shut up in my bones!"
Passion is the log that keeps the fire of purpose blazing.

I really am not on a mission to find love, it's not love that hurts people, it's the mission to find it. I say leave the mission behind and just be patient with compassion. Things come when they come. I am a good friend and a good listener, but don't have time for ridiculous drama. I care deeply about people and am genuine. I dont put up with anyone's shit, but if you are loyal, not passive aggressive (so lame I fucking hate that shit) Someone who wants to talk about how to make your life better, have a sense of humor and good taste in music... then it's on like Donkey Kong!

"You cannot become a butterfly, if you are content being a catapillar."

However I'd like to give credit where credit is due and here are some people I admire...
My family in certain ways, My grandma Mary, Oprah Winfrey,bands and artists who are out there fighting the good fight and not conforming, anyone who has overcome struggles in their lives and gave a shit enough to find the strength to do so and not make it someone else's problem, Tori Amos... and last but never least, the master of makeup and a true inspiration of the heart, the late, great, Kevyn Aucoin.

People who ask the question, "Where do the Soul Train line start at?" This dance ain't for everybody, only tha sexy people!

Peeps with tha moves 'n' grooves, Positive people. People who dont give a fuck about what other people think. Confident people with class and tact. People who march to the beat of their own drum. The underdog.

Now this is where it gets real important to read oh so carefully...
I WILL NOT ADD YOU IF YOU ARE UNDER 18....SORRY!
LISTEN UP FOOLS!...VERY IMPORTANT YOU ACTUALLY READ THIS! MESSAGE ME BEFORE YOU ASK ME TO ADD YOU... CAN YOU FUCKING READ?!
IF NOT GO BACK TO POLL DANCING ON THE MORNING SHIFT OR QUIT BEING A


I want to meet REAL people, no fake motherfuckers, no drama addicts. Handle your scandal or leave me be! Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people... Be real or be gone....dont waste my time. As Joan Jett says,"You don't lose when you lose fake friends!"

I also want to meet people with something real to say...creative, deep, interesting, unique people with originality. People with substance, heart and soul baby! Mean people get to steppin'. Stupid people can stay...you entertain me. Conformists get a life and get out of mine you make the world a dull place to live in...Y A W N

If you're lame, fake, emotionally retarded or are addicted to chaos...or any one of the loser types I mentioned above, if you own a beer mirror, or an oak waterbed, or have a "BORN TO LOSE" tattoo on your arm or anywhere else for that matter, have "Neurotic Peter Pan Syndrome", "Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder" get lost!
If you need a swingset to go with your mood, dont message me, I'm begging you!

Be careful of what you say to me, warning...I am actually listening. I DESPISE gameplayers and insecure energy suckers!

Oh yeah...and if you're as deep as a birdbath,you need not try to talk to me unless you can entertain me by making me laugh not WITH you, but AT you.

Be REAL or be gone people...wurd to your mother

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything.
What we think, we become.
