I am an up and coming confessional poet in the style of Plath, Sexton, Snodgrass and Lowell. I believe, fervently and powerfully, in following your dreams. I am a child of the universe just like everyone else. I am very interested in the raw and mysterious beauty of life and the cosmos. I am just as interested in Human Emotions and the complexity that makes up mankind.
I believe people are capable of whatever they put their minds to. I believe in the power of dreams and imagination. I believe in daring to have vision. I believe we can all fly.
Imagination is EVERYTHING. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. -Albert Einstein

I am an up and coming confessional poet with various publishings and awards. I am here to meet unique people and I try to respond to everyone. I am also an accomplished musician both vocally and instrumentally. I am in The Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus and The International Society Of Poets. I have performed all over the the city/country. I am greatful for any and all inspirational people and celebrities that have given me courage, determination and drive to continue pursuing my passions and dreams. I am looking for unique, beautiful individuals who have confidence, who have contributed to society and who are not disillusioned with an undeserved sense of accomplishment. I have seen the extreme upside of life but have also experienced the utmost downside of it as well.
Excerpt from "Miasma"
My God, what am I that people stop to point and stare? I lay here on my sodden couch staring at these blank walls waiting for happiness to come. I seeth in this white noise as my cats, little parasites, fail to take notice. Downstairs I hear the other tenants screaming and laughing in their blissful ignorance. They still look up at the sky and see the sun...I see a miasma.

Insist upon yourself. Be Original. Love Life. Love You.
"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the end, it is between you and yourself; It was never between you and them anyway."
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; he world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination re omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve he problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he eceived. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."
Coolidge
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Edward Everett Hale

Interests
I am drawn towards creative energies like a moth is to light. Before reading any further please understand that I am really only interested in meeting other creative, inspirational and innovative people that are making a difference in this world. I relate very well to all peoples contributing a unique and positive artistic essence to the world. You will notice that all the people here are special...and are very dear to me. My profile is open to the public in the hopes that I will continue to meet and befriend more people like the amazing ones on this profile. I believe in the power of connectivity and that even though we may seem different we are really all the same people with similair emotions, experiences and lives. I believe everyone is beautiful and that there is too much hate.
MySpace can be a powerful means of networking and establishing connections and I believe there is much good that can be accomplished here. Please help my amazing and inspiring friend Bryant McGill in his mission to promote the positive side of MySpace to the media and the world by posting this banner.
I have had the privelege of getting to know many brilliant creators and astounding personalities from MySpace and have even met many of them in person and done some collaborative work. To me this is priceless networking at its finest. That being said, please do not waste my time if you are disingenuous, have a negative attitude, or have a super-sized ego. You will notice all comments have to be approved before they are posted. That is because this account has been hacked, has had viruses sent to it and some people have even tried to display and super-impose their biased, personal viewpoints.
My page is not a public forum nor is it a place to advertise extremist viewpoints. If you have an opinion, that's great! So does everyone...please do not attempt to leave offensive or disruptive comments here. They will not be approved and I will probably sift through my list and delete you.
I have many passions in this short life but my biggest passion, by far, is to write. I have been writing every since I could pick up a pencil. I prefer the confessional style in the spirit of Sexton, Plath, Lowell, Snodgrass, etc. Or rather, this is the style that chose me as so often I do not control these forces it is the other way around. I believe that we are all small yet important in our miniscule quadrant of the cosmos. I believe the universe presents us with options.
Writing is and always has been my jetpulse. I am truly greatful for all inspirational people that have come into my life. I have had the opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest, from the obscure to the famous and I have never felt better than I do right now in my life. I thrive on pursuing my passions and will sacrifice my dreams for nothing and no one. To me pursuing your dream is the most important thing you can do in this life.

Hey!,Writing to a someone you have never met before I think is extremely difficult. Take this e-mail for instance,I had all the words in my head but could not seem to put a coherent sentence together, was going to start with hello hi there .... or hey how are you today??... but it just seemed too bland so I went with Hey!. Anyway I will get to the pulse of it all. I saw your profile too thought to reply to your ad. Well I was born in feb 02 1979, 27 years old lady, I am educated , I am an easy going sort of Lady,I enjoy reading, listening to live music , often go down to the jazz cafe- nu soul & jazz, also enjoy going to the theatre when there is anything good showing. In all modesty, I am different to most women who probably respond postings. Well that's all for now, i hope I have been able to captivate your curiosity to get a reply back from you. Have a nice one! i really want to hear back from you soon....sorry for being too pushy but i like your profile .this my mail if you can write me there and tell me more about you......soulmatetomeet@yahoo.co.uk hope to read from you there...........my name is becky
