Keepin' it real ... fidelity ... ignorin' rank ... bein' culturally literate ... appreciatin' the arts ... keeping promises ... travellin' ... motorcycles ... findin' humor in the mirror ... takin' responsibility for your actions.

Fakers ... players ... rankism ... bein' close-mided and ignorant ... Springer, soap operas, and wrestling ... being unreliable ... fear of goin' beyond your own front yard ... snooty biker-haters ... inability to laugh at yourself ... mind games and guilt trips.

I'm a mother and a child, a feminist and a wife, independent and dependent, loved and hated, proud and humble, giving and taking, affectionate and indifferent, honest and deceitful, sarcastic and sincere, naive and wise, a teacher and a student, beautiful and ugly, perfect and sinful ... I am all these and more ... a paradox of good and bad, up and down, yin and yang ... I love my husband ... he is the most important person in my life ... I love my kids ... they have broken my heart and simultaneusly made it anew ... I love this nation ... I respect those who have gone before us to make our lives easier ... One day I want to be sitting out on some porch, over-looking a plot we call our own, hand-in-hand as usual with my best friend and lover, still kissing and talking and laughing together with all our grand children around us. It'll happen. What more righteous desire can I have than that? Check me out at: http://www.myspace.com/76eve GO TITANS!!
