I don't know what the HELL I'm doing, have I mentioned that?
Music
I like lots of different kinds of music, the only genre I CANNOT stand is country. Just can't do it.
My favorite is jazzy, bluesy, soulful music... hence my love for Amy Winehouse. I've been listening to her nonstop for months. There's just not much else out that has captured my interest. Although, lately Lily Allen has been growing on me and Zooey Deschanel is pretty fantastic. Some of my favorites include:
Fiona Apple - Tidal
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
Nelly Furtado - Whoa Nelly
Erykah Badu
The Roots
Fugees
Lauryn Hill
Run DMC
Wu-Tang
Metallica
Beastie Boys
Sublime
Bob Marley
Amy Winehouse
Adele
Sarah Vaughn
Dinah Washington
Nina Simone
Mos Def
Method Man
Tupac
I also love Gospel House and just about anything with a fat beat. House, Hard Techno, Jump Up Jungle/DnB.... even some cheesy club songs.
My current infatuation - Adele - 4 Grammy noms, you GO GIRL!
Daydreamer [live] - so good makes me want to cry
Best song ever written... should be every woman's anthem!
Zooey Deschanel = Awesome
I am IN LOVE with Amy. She is the most talented and original artist I have heard in quite some time!

The painting above is by a man named Mike Lewis, AKA Jesus Painter. His testimony is as amazing as his art...
It began when his close friend, Christian songwriter Seth Haines, told him that he had written a song called "Intimate Portrait" and wanted Mike to paint a portrait of Christ on stage during the song. Although Mike was in art school, he had never really painted before. The request was actually rather unreasonable in terms of possibility. Seth wanted a portrait large enough for an entire audience to see and also a likeness to Christ painted in seven minutes. Artists will tell you that usually portraits are very time consuming and some spend years on a single piece. Intimidated by the request but challenged by God Mike decided to trust him and began planning for the painting. After several months of thought and preparation the night arrived. Mike did not have the available funds to do a practice painting so the first try was live on stage. After a short prayer with his friend Mark Herrera that whatever happened God would be glorified through the artwork he walked to the stage and began to paint. Mike says that immediately everything disappeared except the canvas. He has described it as his most peaceful personal time with Christ. He began to swirl colors from the entire spectrum into the face of Christ, then at the end of the painting when the face was recognizable he began to throw blood (red paint) right in Jesus' face. This can be painful to watch but we need to realize that we are responsible for the blood that he shed.
Carseat Confessionals
Candid shots taken of my son through my car mirror.
We were sitting in the car waiting for my husband who was LATE. The kids were getting on my nerves until I caught sight of this in my mirror. I started taking photos until he finally noticed. He was trying to make his little brother, in the backseat, laugh by making faces in his own mirror.

Who I'd like to meet:
People who do what they say instead of saying something because it sounds good at the moment (ie flakes).
People who aren't fair-weather friends/family.
People who aren't superfical (meaning they are just themselves and don't do crap because society says you're "supposed" to).
People that have a great sense of humor but can be serious when it's important.
People who are mature enough to be completely immature and goofy and know it's OK.
People of substance.
People with empathy and compassion who aren't completely self absorbed and arrogant (I know it's shocking to find out everything isn't about YOU).
People who can be respectful of others but still have a brain and can think for themselves.
People who's opinions don't change depending on who they're talking or listening to because they KNOW who they are.
People who are HONEST and mean what they say.
People who are confident, yet humble.
People with common sense (if you're educated... great, but it's not important to me).
People who don't put others down to feel better about themselves.
People who don't use me as a scape-goat because they can't own up to their own actions.
and most importantly
People who accept me for who I am and where I'm at without judgment, as God does (we're all growing and NONE of us are there YET, we all have our issues).
Is that so much to ask?
