"If history teaches us anything it is simply this...every revolution carries within it the seeds of destruction and empires that rise will one day fall."
--"Children of Dune" by Frank Herbert
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." -Julius Caesar
"To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
"Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

About Me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most importantly -- I am a FUN chick. I dislike wasting my time, I have little of it. HONESTY in people is important to me. I have a ginormous heart and love doing special things for those I adore in life. I am a good listener and advice giver. My biggest pet peeve is when people say they are going to do something and then don't -- no matter how big or small. Be true to your word. I am a firm believer in karma. You get back what you put out there.
I LOVE music. Having friends in the industry has afforded me many awesome opportunities to see and meet others in the industry. Traveling to shows and listening to people make music=therapy.
I dig scary roller coasters, haunted houses, cotton candy lip smacker, banana milkshakes, acai smoothies, eating lunch with my grandma every day, my family and my friends.

The rhythm in my step, the turn of my table, the peak of the party. I Remember The Time I realized The Way You Make Me Feel. I Blamed It On The Boogie but it was just Human Nature. You were Bad; you will always be Bad. I Can’t Help It, Mike; I Never Can Say Goodbye. I Want You Back. Until the day I Burn This Disco Out, I will always Rock With You. Thank you for making me believe in magic.
