HI! How ya doin'? Thanks for checking out my "MySpace" page. Yes, I too have one of these. Isn't that special. Peh. Well.....for what it's worth HERE IT IS.
OK... FIRST OF ALL... I'd like you to have a look at these:
THE TANKERAYS. That's the band I play bass in right now... (well, I TRY TO PLAY BASS!) and this other one as well...
KITTY'S JEWELRY - This page features jewelry and clothes I make and sell on the internet. Hey, I've gotta make a living just like everybody else. ANYWAY....."Show some love" here and "add" these two pages to YOUR "MySpace" page and I thank you for your help in getting my products out there.
I also have a
*•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•* OK, thanks for looking at those.
This other stuff is all about ME if you are REALLY all that interested......
If not ... and I can understand that..., then just scroll to the RIGHT side of this page and check out my "FRIENDS LIST".
There are interesting little on-line shops and interesting and colorful people so be sure to check that out if nothing else here.

OK..... I was a bassist back in Chicago, played with a bunch of bands there... etc.
(yes, I AM from there originally.
.... can't ya tell?)
then I was in Atlanta in a number of bands as well for a time.
I have played all kinds of music in numerous types of bands over time.
ANYWAY..... (blah, blah, blah....) I went to music college right out of high school and graduated a half year early because I wanted to "get on with my life" and "not waste time". Well, times were different back then. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, etc.
I now work in some 3rd party call center in some collections department somewhere in the Rockies.
Real glamorous, huh?
(Well, we all can't lead uber-impressive lives now can we? Well... maybe YOU can but I don't have that luxury.)
As for my "own thing", "style", "SUB-CULTURE of CHOICE, OR WHATEVER you want to call it in this day and age...."
I dig the so-called "Romantic Gothic" thing or whatever. Maybe "RetroGoth"? "Old School Goth" ? (Again, I don't really know WHAT they're calling it.)
Frankly, I'm just ME. Whatever I may be. I am La Mujer Extrana, and that's OK. You have your thing, I have my thing, and we co-exist. MEANING... I don't CARE what ethnic background you are. I don't CARE what religion you are. I don't CARE what sexual orientation you are.
HOWEVER..... I DO care if you are a DECENT and HONEST person, though. I am SOOOOO DONE with selfish and overly self-absorbed people.
*•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•*
OK... my strange taste in clothes....
Cosmic Debris/Emily Strange stuff seems to be one of my favorites as well and it is sooooooo cute! Never MIND if it's "not age appropriate". I don't care what other people think about me anymore. I am too old and too busy to worry about people tsk-tsking behind my back.
Also....I do "make-shift" sewing to a certain degree but I am NOT a seamstress by ANY stretch of the imagination.
I just know some REALLY basic stuff and that's about it. Nothing fancy... mostly, I'll take something from a thrift store place and modify/re-construct it to suit my tastes. (Yeah, and then hawk it on E-Bay to pay my bills!)
Another interest of mine is GHOST & HAUNTED HOUSE STORIES. I listen to all kinds of weird stuff on Coast To Coast AM Radio.
I am not really sure if I believe in all stuff like that but what the hell? IT'S FUN. (es verdad? Si! Es verdad.) There is also THIS website --------> CASTLE OF SPIRITS. *•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•*

*•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•*
Yes, believe it or not.... I AM a CHRISTIAN - - HOWEVER - - I DO NOT shove my beliefs on others nor am I fanatical about it. I respect that what YOUR personal beliefs are is YOUR own business and I mind my OWN business.
Furthermore....
I do NOT appreciate the numerous ways other so-called "Christians" act in public, n the media AND towards each other. (Son usted personas locas o que?!) C'mon, people! How do you expect to get any credibility when all you do is act like a bunch of moronic fanatics? Enough, already. *•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•*
MY MESSAGE TO ALL WOMEN EVERYWHERE:
Read this blow. Some of it I made up. Some of it I did not. Copy it. Print it. Hang it on your vanity mirror or whatever. Seriously. It might save you or someone else a world of hurt.
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. No....., not even getting knocked up by him, so ditch THAT idea.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. If "that little voice inside" tells you the man is an asshole, then he most likely IS. (DUH?)
Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's NOT meant to be. (If you are, it is obvious. Maybe not by YOU, but ask a close and honest friend.)
Slower is better. Watch your speed and give yourself time enough to THINK.
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then no, you can't "be friends." Sorry, but a true friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. (If this is not true in your world, then reconsider what kind of "friends" you associate with.)
Don't just "settle". STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE. You deserve it!
If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably IS.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are NOT better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is YOU. Not him, not his mother, not his best friend, YOU.
Stop being paranoid about "other women stealing your man". If that should happen, would it really be "the other woman" or HIS OWN DECISION to go with her? If your man loves YOU, he won't "get it" anywhere else no matter what "other women" do.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, Why would he treat YOU any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
If something bothers you, SPEAK UP, dammit.
Never let a man know everything. He might use it against you later.
You CAN'T change a man's behavior. Change comes from within... Not from being with you... or anyone else.
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has more education or in a better job.
Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are. YOU DO. Consider what YOU do for YOU. Anything?
NEVER "borrow" someone else's man. If he cheated WITH you, he'll cheat ON you. GET IT? Really, this is not hard to miss!
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs. There ARE good ones out there. Seriously.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two way street.
Just because your man is "hot" or good looking is not an excuse to have a baby with him. PLEASE...have the baby for the RIGHT reason. How about this: GET MARRIED FIRST if you want kids. A child needs TWO STABLE PARENTS.... Not confusion on Fathers Day.
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.
Dating is NOT fun...HOWEVER....even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. ... (or Mr. Always Right). You can PICK BETTER. Be selective. You are not fat and or ugly, so quit seeing yourself as such.
Make him miss you sometimes... when a man always knows where you are, and your always readily available to him-he takes it for granted.
NEVER move into his mother's house.
Never co-sign ANYTHING for a man. (are you out of your mind?!)
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need, (or does not want to).
Keep him in your radar but get to know others too.
Share this with other ladies..... You'll make someone smile, another re-think her choices, and another woman prepare. ... AND DON'T END UP LIKE THIS:
Who I'd like to meet: *•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•*
AGAIN...; NO SOLICITING - - - - >I am NOT on MySpace for dating, sex or any of that kind of stuff. I am happy to say that at the present time.... I HAVE ALL THAT RIGHT HERE AT HOME and that's where it SHOULD be kept as far as I'm concerned. I wish to network and promote what I sell and my wares do not include the sex industry. Sorry if you were expecting something like that.
*•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•*
The adjuration to be "normal" seems shockingly repellent to me; I see neither hope nor comfort in sinking to that level. I think it is ignorance that makes people think of abnormality only with horror and allows them to remain undismayed at the proximity of "normal" to average and mediocre. For surely anyone who achieves anything is, essentially, abnormal. *•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•**•-:¦:-•*
