About me:

.... ..If you want to add me that's cool, but please atleast send me a note saying hi or something. I'm not into collecting friends who I've never talked to. So...are you going to shoot me a holler or what!? =)..


I am an artist, on many levels. I love to create. I spend a lot of my time doing things related to photography, but I'm also a poet. I draw a lot and I'm not so good at painting.

I'm a free spirit which has got me into trouble once or twice. I can venture off on my own accord without the need of company. I love company, but if something intrigues me and my curiosity is running 1000MPH, then I'm going to investigate with or without other people. I like doing new things. I embrace the unknown with a sense of adventure. I usually jump at the opportunity to do something I've never done before. If I had only one self-philosophy that I followed, being dynamic would be it. I strive to be dynamic in my everything. My thoughts, my actions, my feelings, etc.

I have a really strong interest in understanding people. I have a gift for naturally being a psychologist/therapist but without the degree. I'll listen more often than speak. Though, I'm neither shy nor quiet. I like to hear what people have to say, to understand where they're coming from. I can just about always relate to just about anyone. I like meeting new people who offer a lot to learn from. I especially like meeting people who are quick to getting real. Who don’t need to know someone for weeks before opening up. I like meeting people who dive right on in and can engage in deep conversations. I love that more than anything...being at a party or where ever and talking with a complete stranger for hours on deep, mind-bending philosophical topics or perhaps deep emotional conversations. Somehow I find it really fun to talk/counsel complete strangers who are going through a lot.

I'm a hopeless romantic. For the most part, I’m a very positive thinking person. Though, I’m a realist and reality isn’t always positive, but it can still be embraced with positive acceptance. I believe there is something I can learn from every situation, from every person. It’s just a matter how I view something that will alter how much I can learn from that something or that person. For example, even a complete drunk who is acting obnoxious offers at least one thing to be learned from. Don’t drink as much as he/she did. ;)
