IM AN ART JUNKIE! (mostly other peoples) All kinds of art; movies, music, drawing, painting...etc. I love to watch people and pick peoples brains. I write down pretty much everything I think of or hear that I find interesting. Sometimes I use it somewhere, but mostly I'm just glad nobody else has seen it. I usually have a notebook, but most shit ends up on napkins, placemats..etc.
Some of my fishies!

This will pretty much sum up why I love movies; Making all the elements come together the way it was seen in the creaters mind... acting, directing, editing, muisic, lighting... Just all of it... I love seeing what a good director can create. I find the 'brilliant' in the 'subtle'. And I LOVE to be shocked......"BOO"! I love watching actors act and seeing thru the eyes of the director.

Heroes
LEAKEYS ANGELS
Diane Fossey (Mountain Gorillas, mainly), Jane Goodall (Chimpanzees), and Birute' Galdikas (Orangutans). And other wildlife conservationists who spend almost all their time educating people as to why its so important to not only protect what beauty that's left in the world but to learn about and study it (in non threatening ways) in order to unlock some answers to our past as well as learn what not to do in the future. Steve Irwin was an immense loss for all of us. He was a bit nutty but I loved to watch him simply because he was one of the few people I've seen who had such a huge passion for our environment / wildlife that you
could see it in everything he did. I consider him a true hero.
Primatologists who want to find answers to our past and discover why WE are the way we are.
PEOPLE WHO COMMIT RANDOM ACTS OF GOODWILL
i.e.. Tom Dimebag. He started a sight here on MySpace called 'Mohawks For Cancer'. They have one goal; To get people to donate their hair to cancer organizations that make wigs for chemotherapy patients. This way anyone can help with no money needed. The reason I consider him to be a hero is due to the fact that this idea came to him for no other reason other than wanting to do something good. There's a link on my page to the sight. Any information you need is provided on their page as regulations differ from state to state. I do it about once a year and promise that you only cry for a day or so until you get that feeling that you just did something really good for someone.
DOCUMENTARY AND INDEPENDANT FILMAKERS
Who make movies with little or no funding and seem to get the job done out of sheer determination and a belief that they're doing something they need to be doing.
THOSE WHO DIED DOING THIER JOB
Firemen, Soldiers, Policemen..and others who died protecting or serving us.
Ya, this is my Unfolding Universe and it's gonna end up being long so if you dont have time to read it I really must ask you, "What the FUCK are you doing on MySpace that you dont have time to read my profile"?? ... Kidding. Anyhow, for now,.....THIS IS MY PROFILE;
I dont believe every situation needs to be a tangled web of Rubik's Cubes and decoder rings. I cant spell and rarely spell check. I'd love to see "PEACE ON EARTH" in my lifetime. I was born in South Miami in 1972 and somehow ended up in Pittsburgh. If you get injured but are clearly not "Bleeding Out" I will probably laugh at you. When I was little we had a Pacer X and a Gremlin. My favorite colors are Crazy and Purple. My favorite non-color is Black. I deface ALL paper money, "In Dog We Trust". I think there should be a ribbon we could wear to represent all the people who wear ribbons for causes. I will never pretend to like music, movies, books, art, etc.. just because you like them, but love discovering a hidden treasure in meeting new people ;). I will NEVER invade your privacy. I think that the most HUMAN thing a president has done in the last 20 years was getting caught getting a blow job. I dont believe that biscotti needs to be involved in order to buy a book. "YES, I'm the chick with the Star Trek pin, and NO, I wont take it off." I still sleep in the Doctor Demento T-Shirt my dad gave me when I was 7. My biggest Religous moment was my parents smoking their Buddha Bong (his tummy gergled). I will mace anyone who sprays perfume on me, I have taken ashtrays from diners, but always tip well, I will never send back my food..I worked at 'Eat N Park', trust me, DON'T SEND IT BACK! I always carry my Zippo, PocketWatch, Swiss Army Knife, BlackJack (Phone, not weapon.. Man, I love that phone!), and Cinnamon Listerine Pocket Packs. I dont get jealous, it's dumb. I dont understand how John Candy continued to make movies after his death. I Know how late I am in the mornrngs by how many times I hear, "And Here's Your Local on the 8's". I think Comic Sans should be the only acceptable font. Im a self proclaimed primatologist, (left school due to illness...nothing catchy). I collect stars (I think they're beautiful), I always know when the cable is out because there are extra sirens racing down the street. Regarding TV, I don't believe you need to have a laugh track if it's funny! I dont talk while the movie is on and I HATE RINGTONES. My phone stayed on vibrate untill I could find the right ringtone,"The Twilight Zone". People, I dont want to hear your phone ring. I've wanted to sleep with James Spader for more that 20 years now. If I ever start a band (which I wont), it will be called "Oprah and the Sinkhole Serpants"... long story. Growing up, I was the kid on the block from the Jewish family with lesbians and a Christmas tree. I have Synesthesia... I vividly see every sound I hear. I think Bill Kurtis should narrate everything. I think everyone should be allowed to wipe out one person..NOT KILL..just...Make Dissapear, (Mine would be Bill O'Reilly.) I LOVE Clever Comedy. I'm not into 'one liners', but I love good lines. And I once tried to prove that Oxy-Clean only works in a clear bowl but I was wrong, it doesn't work at all.
Last, I hope to someday understand how some people sleep at night given some of the things they do to one another.
~Happy Feeding~!
Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet people who aren't 'Slow On The Uptake'! People who care about other people. People who can live wih the fact that I am a complete clutz. I want to meet people who can make me laugh AND think at the same time!! I also want to meet people who can be a dork and laugh shit like 'Jackass'. I want to meet people that are people watchers....People who have good stories to tell about the life they've lived...People who are true to themselves....People who like Movies and see the brilliance in good directing and writing, acting...etc.(and can shut-up while trying to watch it.) People who are master smartasses, but not dragging everyone else down. AND, people who were confused as to status entry; Married, Single..etc.. You know, "Everything's a situation"!
I could go the rest of my life never meeting any of my idols if someone would just "SAY SOMETHING FUCKING INTERESTING"!!
Here's a list of People I think are interesting enough that I wouldn't mind having a conversation with, People who I think are brilliant at what they do/did, and some other folks are in this list because I wanted them there. Alot of these folks are dead!! But it would have been nice!

The Focus Group who invented 'Encore Herbs & Spices: No Salt Seasoning' so I can say Thank You. They should really rename it, cause it's not a salt substitute in any way.
