About Me

- Native Austinite. Well educated.. always learning in my own way. Strong-willed & opinionated. I believe in making a difference. I believe in making myself a better person.. in my own eyes, not the eyes of society.
Mainstream society, and the social mores it professes to hold as "normal," "average," etc. are all hogwash as far as I'm concerned. I am very much a "trail blazer" and I live my life that way.
If you want to know more.. ask me :)
to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting. - e.e. cummings

Controversial Arizona sheriff to endorse Perry in GOP presidential bid
"The sheriff's patrols are the subject of a civil rights investigation by the U.S. Justice Department. A federal grand jury is investigating abuse of power allegations against Arpaio's office."
DOJ needs to get on the schtick w/Arpaio investigation! As for Arpaio endorsing Guv Goodhair.. at same time doesn't seem surprising considering who Parry has around him -BUT- is surprising considering how extremist Arpaio is regarding undocumented immigrants (and Parry supports Dream Act???)!
