Music = life. It occupies my veins, my blood, my heart, my soul. It's pretty much my reason for existing.


I'm not going to lie - I love drinking! I go against my better judgement more often than I should when alcohol is involved. To put it simply: I'm trouble. I know my limits, I just choose not to follow them. Don't kid yourself because we all have our vices, even you. My weapon of choice just so happens to be alcohol. Don't judge me! Contrary to what some may think alcohol does not and will not define me. Got it? Good!


I have many acquaintances but few close friends. And you know what? I okay with that. This way I can't get hurt & I can't hurt anyone. I rarely let people in anymore. If you succeed in getting close, chances are I would take a bullet for you. I've never been "lucky in the game of life" or the game of love. I do not seek out relationships. In fact I do everything I can to avoid them. People think I have a big ego. Others think I'm a cold-hearted bitch. The truth is I can be incredibly insecure. I'm always worrying that I'm not good enough. Not pretty enough. Not smart enough. You get the point.


I live for being spontaneous and random. If I can find a way to do something -- I will do it. I hate being pinned down in one place for too long. I get antsy. I guess you could say I'm chaotic and unpredictable, bordering on stubborn and rebellious. I'm strong-willed and extremely opinionated. I'm known to be frank and outspoken. I can be tactless and rude. You're just going to have to deal with it or move along.


I think it would be sweet if Eddie Money was my dad. However, I will settle for my dad who resembles the likes of the man, the myth, the legend Mike Ditka. And if I had one wish I would wish for Steve Perry to reunite with Journey. Yup, that about covers it.
