Please visit when you get a chance! Ummm...I'll just put my favourite quote:
I am still learning.
--Michelangelo (1562)
But for a little more information...I've lived in four different countries, traveled all over the world, hope to never stop!Am married to the greatest guy in the universe (my anam cara)...and it looks like my acting/singing/modeling career is FINALLY about to take off! (Albeit verrrry slowly. But I'm okay with that!!!) I feel like the Silver Girl in Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters": 'Sail on, Silver Girl. Sail on by. Your time has come to shine...all your dreams are on their way. See how they shine?'
You Are A Fig Tree
You are very independent and strong minded.
A hard worker when you want to be, you play hard too.
You are honest and loyal. You hate contradiction or arguments.
You love life, and you live for your friends, children, and animals.
A great sense of humor, artistic talent, and intelligence are all gifts you possess.
You belong in London, but you belong in many cities... Hong Kong, San Francisco, Sidney. You fit in almost anywhere.
And London is diverse and international enough to satisfy many of your tastes. From curry to Shakespeare, London (almost) has it all!
Who I'd like to meet: In no particular order...also not limiting myself to those that are alive...Elizabeth I, Princess Diana, Judy Garland, Lord Burghley, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, FDR, Eleanor Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Anne Frank, Agatha Christie, Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand, L.M. Montgomery, Frank McCourt, Ralph Fiennes, Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain, Jane Austen, Judi Dench, Cillian Murphy (so dreamy!),Kevin Spacey, Brenda Blethyn, Billie Holiday, Robert Sean Leonard, Cate Blanchett, Ella Fitzgerald, Kate Bush, Nathan Fillion (because who doesn't love Mal?), Kate Winslet, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Broadbent, Mickey Rooney, any of the Windsors... and, of course, the man who put the "bop" in the bop-she-bop-she-bop.
We would be interested, definitely...what kind of tunes would they need? Scotty (Sante Fe) writes more country, heartland flavored stuff, and I slide around there, R&B and heavier Rock...
Heya Christa!!! We are puttin' together our caravan for the trip out to Buzzard's Roost in Lamar, CO and thought you might want a heads up... It's a decent drive out there, but it's a great bar, our second home, and best of all the Passport Inn hotel (where we stay) is right next door, within stumblin distance. Heh-heh :) Let us know if you're interested in the joining the adventure and we'll get you dialed into our plans and put you in touch with the hotel!
Okay Mr. President? I look forward to meeting you.
They knew he was coming and they couldn't even give him a peaceful welcome? Where's the change he was talking about?! This is a young man who decided to be the change, should have been welcomed by the butler atleast. Mrs. Obama should have had the girls out front, to see the change thier father has been talking about. Not to mention he has his own book. "The only One that can stop Me is Me." Oh and his numerous speaking engagements he has under his belt. This American Soldier should have been Welcomed alot better than he was!!!! Change? Will See!! Here's the # to the White House(202)456-1111. Call them ask them Where's the Change? And send it to all your friends and family. Check out Jovans' web page www.changeispossible.bravehost.com />

I just wanted to stop by and drop off some love! Thanks for your friendship! If you know of somebody who likes to read send them my way. Thanks for your support! Your friend, Brian
First off... I'm sad to see that I'm not in your top friends, and neither is our radio show. :(
Second...I finished the slide shows (finally), so I think you should head over to our page and check them out and be sure to leave a comment and let me/us know what you think.
Yay for only getting five hours of sleep! Hope you have an amazing day and can't wait for a comment back from you!
