| Introduction | My grandmother recently died of lung cancer at the age of almost 90, almost twice my age exactly. The Summer of 2005, I decided that I didn't want to live potentially the last half of my life doing what was the "right" thing. I took control of the things I could control and made choices that were best for me. It's been quite the rollercoaster ride where I have learned so much about myself and made so many changes. Btw, eventhough rollercoasters can be scary and while you are going through it you think you are nuts for having gone on the ride. After it is over, I want to go back on that ride or look for another because it is during that time that you feel the most alive. Update: I went from 328 pounds to 144 pounds. Right now I fluctuate between 16 & 17% body fat! |
| Interests | I really enjoy doing things outdoors. There's nothing like going for a nice long bike ride and breaking it up with a little picnic. I also enjoy going to the movies, reading and exploring new places. |
| Favorite movies | Defending Your Life |
| Favorite books | I recently read the books The Alchemist and Blink. One was relating to our own personal journey and the other was about how our minds function in all different situations. Very diverse subjects but both very enlightening. |
Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?
"Michelangelo believed that every stone had a sculpture within it, & that the work of sculpting was simply a matter of chipping away all that was not a part of the statue." I think I should be carved in wood, since it would be something that lasted and was living at one time with chunks of stone scattered at my feet. I released me from the fat that encased me!
