Music is amazing! I close my eyes and it just moves me. Music has the power to evoke memories of years ago. Hearing that song makes that moment tangible again. I love Jack Johnson it helps me fall asleep and reminds me of snuggling and feeling loved, Rufio reminds me of new love...it makes me cry. Pennywise (the best live show in the world), 311 reminds me of Santa Barbara and wanting to tell you I love you, P.O.D. (another awesome live show), Slick Shoes reminds me of flirting in the CSUN parking lot, Coldplay, The Postal Service reminds me of moving in to my apartment with Julie :), Immortal technique makes me miss love, Gnarls Barkley reminds me of smoking cigars, Bob Marley, The Used reminds me of parking 5 blocks from school so I wouldnt have to purchase a parking permit, 50 cent, Mos Def, Common, System of a Down, Talib kweli, Depeche Mode reminds me of Christmas time and only I know why, Juanes, Yellowcard reminds me of riding around San Diego with Robert, me and Bobby all in the front seat of a Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab because no one wanted to sit in the back by themselves. Sublime, Ivy Queen, Mana, anything 80's. I love just about everything. As I type I am listening to Tony Dize.

I love my family!! I love my nephews and my niece!! I love music, dancing and hanging out with the homies! When I'm not with the fam or friends I am probably running or swimming. I love being active in general. Here is where you will find me every morning:

Stupid White Men-Michael Moore, Even The Rat was White: A historical view of Psychology-Robert V. Guthrie, Chronicle of a Death Foretold-Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Life of Pi-Yann Martel, In the time of Butterflies-Julia Alvarez, Eva Luna-Isabel Allende, Mysteries of Harris Burdick-Chris Van Allsburg, The Great Gatsby-F. Scott Fitzgerald...one of my favorite quotes comes from this book- "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

My number one hero: my Mommy. my brothers and sisters are my heroes too.

I can't fully sum up my life in words. I have experienced many joys, suffered hardships and heartache and through it all I keep going. I don't know what life holds for me but I am optimistic that it will be great. There is so much more to me...just ask me and I'll let you know. :)
