My Bio
Born in Santa Barbara, CA. My parent's divorced when I was three. My father got custody of me and remarried immediatly. He and his new wife drank a lot and did drugs. As a result of the neglect that produced I developed a huge imagination. I wrote my first poem at 7 and my first short story at 10. Escapism was the way ot for me. My father became violent and almost killed me at 12. I ran away and went to live with my mother. She was a magician in Hollywood. After 9 months she met a man and moved to Austrailia, without me. I moved in with my aunt and uncle. They thought I was on drugs due to my detached nature. I was instituionilized for 5 months. My mom came and got me out of lock up, and put me in a group home. Fed up with the 'Adult's' in my life, I got emancipated the day I turned 16.
I went to UCSB and got a degree in Business/Economics. Then went on to get my MBA. I moved to Texas to take care of my mother. At first we had no idea what was wrong, only that she was in constant pain and found walking difficult. After many different doctors and specialists, in August of 2004 we went to Parkland Memorial Hospitol. Two weeks later the worst possible news was given us. She had A.L.S. (Lou Gerrig's desiese). Her request to me was that I not put her in assisted living. I promised her I would not. I hired private care staff and took care of her. During her illness,I had a beautiful boy, Henry. She got to spend the first 10 months of his life knowing him and watching him. She passed peacefully on April 29, 2008.
I still live in Texas with Henry and own a Golf Course.
We have a good life and are very happy. I hope to expand the business in the near future so that my boy can have a secure, happy and comfortable life. I still write but am very busy so it's really just something I do in my spare time (when I have it).
I hope to someday be able to live near the ocean again. I don't think a woman needs a man to be complete and always take the road less travelled. It may be harder, but the rewards are worth the trouble.
Why I'm a Fan
I have loved Christina Aguilara for longer than I can remember.
Her Stripped album really spoke to me, my mother was diagnosed with A.L.S. and I had to take care of her alone. The honesty and beauty of CA's voice and lyrics got me through when I didn't think I caould go on. Back to Basics was in my CD player so much that I had to buy it over again cause I actually killed it from overplay!
She is so strong, open and honest. There is no drama involved in her media, that is something really special for an artist of her caliber. I will never forget seeing her live at the AA center in Dallas! I was seven months pregnet with my son Henry. I took a friend and while the P.C.D's were on I said, 'Man the sound quality is not so much'. she said, 'It's always like that live.' I said, 'Not Christina, you watch!' When her voice came on, after the Montage for the opening, I got to watch my friend's mouth drop and do a fish out of water. She goes, 'You weren't kidding!'. That concert lit my whole season up. I even felt my son kicking around, like he was dancing. It's was a little sad cause by that time my mom was compleatly paralyzed by the desiese. When she sang 'Oh Mother' I couldn't stop crying.
When my son was born, we played the album and the two love songs on it are my song's to him. He loves music now, I think it's cause he subconciously remembers her voice from the womb.
My mom passed last year, it was peaceful. I still have my son and love him with everything. He's my best friend and my joy. Christina is my sountrack to the happiness and sadness in my life. She's just good like that.
