An Intimate Look

A little about me here.. hmm.. well I am currently living in Tucson Arizona....
(land of cactus and palm trees) I moved here 5 years ago with both of my
beautiful sons, Andrew and Anthony.

I grew up nestled in the beautiful mountains of Idaho. This is Shoshone Falls, in Twin Falls. An hour from my front porch <smile> Everyday I could open my eyes to the mountains circling around me.

I grew up listening to KISS and Led Zeppelin... right off the bat it was obvious I wasn't like other kids LOL They were jamming GoGo's and I was screaming Love Gun... something wasn't right here. LOL And what exactly IS a Love Gun they would ask? I knew I was onto something here when I knew evil taboo things before anyone else lol...

On to the future.... I became quite fixated on heavy metal.. it being my main music meal of the day.... old Black Sabbath tunes would fill my room, my mom would hear shouts of "Fairys wear boots and ya gotta believe meeeahh" "War pigs have the powerrrr" and "I AM IRON MANNN" I'm sure she did a regular hunt for narcotics at this point when I was gone lmao.... to Led Zepp singing me the Lemon Song and my wicked smile listening hhehe

Then I was off and running with Fates Warning (Ray Alder kicks assssss), Metallica, Slayer, Testament (Chuck Billyyy *grrRRRROwl* , PANTERA, Sepultura, anything I could get my hands on.. I went from a war pigs cry to "AM I EVILLLL??? YES I FUCKIN AMMM" wooohooo... (my mom was already positive of my mental unstability)...... I was torn apart when Cliff Burton died.... and I rejoiced the first time I heard The Lady Wore Black by Queensryche. I was hooked for life... and all the men I saw afterwards with long hair made me drool and pant... they ALWAYS will.... AMEN! ^5

I listen to most everything except rap and country LOL
And Pantera being the choice fav of the metal category these days.

Later on I settled down a little...(Sheeeyeah) had some kids... and started on Jazz and Blues a little more.... started actually turning ON the radio for a change <gasp>, and heard some new stuff..old stuff..forgotten stuff. It had been years! lol Yellow Jackets, Tony McAlpine, Eric Johnson, Al Dimeola, Dream Theater. I heard Blues Travellers ripping it up on Letterman one night...and loved it... saw Live on MTV (Pain Lies On The Riverside) I was hooked!

My first glimpse of Tori Amos was her "perched" side saddle on her piano bench, thick full lips glued to the microphone in front of her... and she was gyrating and singing like angels and demons in battle... OMG I was totally taken by her... and find her one of the most amazing people. Her work for sexual abuse victims has taken on a life of its own. Tori is incredible :))) *KISS

Enya was the next wonderful gift to find... her haunting music has calmed this red heads near nervous breakdowns many a time LOL Shes an inspiration for mind soul and body... *breathe innnn breathe outttt*

Someone from my earliest best childhood memories is John Denver. I have adored this man ever since I can remember. Myself being from Idaho and having lived in Sun Valley where the heavens meet the earth, I truly had a close feeling with him, and everything he ever sang about. His close connection to all that was free, alive, good, and whole was something I never had to guess about. I felt the same exact way. My heart races when I see an eagle soar or wild horses running *Eagles and horses, high on a ridge in a race with the wind*

His founding of the Wildlife Conservation Society has yielded safe haven to millions of acres of precious rain forest and wildlife habitat. I've never considered his style of music "Country music" and neither did he. He was unique in his own right...and lived a beautiful FULL life. *I've been lately thinkin about my lifes time.....all the things I've done and how its been. And I cant help believing in my own mind....I know I'm gonna hate to see it end..... I've seen a lot of sunshine, slept out in the rain........ I have to say it now its been a good life all and all... its really fine to have a chance to hang around* His body passed on while he was doing one of the things he loved most, flying. *My body is merely the shell of my soul* And his soul does live on. Everytime I sing a song to my children at night, the same ones my mother did me... he is living on.

*serenade the stars that shine from a sunny mountainside*

* You fill up senses ,like a night in a forest,......like the mountains in spring time, like a walk in the rain..... like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean... you fill up my senses, come fill me again*

I love writing poetry and short stories.... I've had one of my poems called "Free" published twice. Once in a book called A Celebration of Poets, and another called On Wings of the Wind. I was very excited about this... and hope to see other things in print someday... who knows :))

I love anything outside in nature.... from travelling to YellowStone Nat. Park and the Tetons, to Mt. Olympus and Mt Rainier in Washington. Grand Canyon and the beautiful countryside of my home land in Idaho. From every bird flying in the sky, to every mouse, lizard and snake in Arizona... I love all that is free... and enjoying spending time breathing in the clean sweet air and being happy :)))))))

I enjoy native american music, culture and artwork. A very huge fan of a certain CD by Hans Mayer called Native Spirit. It was one of a series called Natures Harmony.

In 1999 I began researching what happened in Waco, Texas in 1993 when over 100 armed agents of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) attacked a church of 100 people, killing 6 members and 4 of themselves. The more I learned and researched for myself, the more unbelievable I found the whole situtation. I could not believe the documents from the government showing exactly the OPPOSITE of what was told to us by the media! Lie after lie after disgusting lie, I picked apart the "official spin" and saw through the bogus mess.

What I found shocked me and thus began my life's passion. To educate others about the Waco Massacre to show them the web of lies for what it truly was... a web of deception and murder. I work every day to try and open the eyes of Americans who are still 'sleeping'. I travel to Waco to visit with the survivors and they have also visited me here in Tucson.

I have never met better people in my entire life.

Rather you agree with the governments actions or you do not...
put yourself into their shoes and....
Take a moment to Picture This...
