Interests

Interests:
My family, sweet granddaughter, 2 cats and a rabbit
Hobbies:
cars, books, teaching, art, dancing, renovating houses and furniture, gardening, reading & walking.
Television:
Life on Mars (UK version) United states of Tara, weeds, Dexter, True Blood, six feet under.
Movies:
The last movie I saw was "men who stare at goats" I loved it. Avatar, High Fidelity, Shine a Light, Grand Turino, Crash, Crazy heart, so many..
Music:
There is so much good music that its hard to narrow down a few. I first heard Frank Zappa when I was 15, my then boyfriend loved the music, my next boyfriend played my Zappa albums and became a convert for life! We married young and one of our sons is a musician who loves Dweezils guitar work, he has become a better guitarist from watching people he admires. These days my taste ranges wide and far, from Sarah Mclachlan to Tony Joe White to Everlast to KD Lang, Springsteen, Social Distortion, Black keys and even my sons' band the Chainsaw Hookers from Perth.
Books:
So many books and so little time..I work with books and multimedia all day. I like to read non fiction biographies and books about well being and philosophy. Just finished the biography of the lead singer of the Eels, Mark Everett "Things the grandchildren should know" ....what a story....a man who overcame such an insane childhood."the harder the life , the sweeter the song?"
About me:

Hi, Just me here ...
Enjoying the adventure of life, my 9 - 5 finds me working as a Librarian, helping others, sharing information and teaching.

The rest of the time I endeavor to keep it simple, I am long past trying to make sense of the crazy world we live in and I no longer waste my time trying to understand the people who have the power to make a different world on a global scale. They never seem to change. The obscene amount of money spent on defense and weapons could feed and house the poor many times over and sustain systems to protect our environment. The pursuit of greed is killing our planet, polluting oceans and waterways.

It is ...What it is..
but I will never give up wishing it wasn't....

Therefore I quietly go about my business navigating my way through it all daily, guided by my intuition and my heart. Life doesn't come with a GPS for emotional and catastrophic events.

Along the way you can find me enjoying music, movies, friends, random beauty in nature, art, my kids , my pets, cars, passion , the love of a good man, photography, profound writings in books and lyrics, earthy food, good wine, ethical treatment of animals, preservation of forests, oceans and wilderness...

call me naive, but I dream of a day when superpowers use their powers for good....a time when we will have world leaders who think outside the box and actually do some humanitarian acts of kindness and take responsibility for their actions.

I hope for the death of marketing, greed and mindless disposable consumerism.Bring back quality, simplicity and longevity.

I'll step off my soapbox now folks. xx
