First off im a 27 year old Female born in Houston Texas, raised most of my life in the south Texas in the small
town of Edinburg Texas. I graduated from highschool in 1998 from McAllen Memorial HS. After high school, I moved
back to Houston with my HS sweetheart David Salaiz, lived there for about 3 1/2 yrs. Then Moved to Austin Tx. where I lived
for about 4 yrs. I got married in 2003, to my HS sweetheart. In 2004 we moved to Phoenix AZ. with that move came
some sad memories i try not to think about, I got a divorce in Feb. 2005. Months later, I moved back to south Texas
where my family and mother live. Which is where i reside now.
Ive been through all kinds of issues, from drugs, gangs, school, friends, relationships, family, and work.
I dont pride my self too much in who I am as a person, I feel like I lost a long time ago. I take life as it comes
everyday now. I use to have a differnt outlook on life, and what my future might entail for me, but I no longer look at it
like that. My divorce really changed me as a person and a living being in general. I thought I had met my soul mate and that was
the person I would spend the rest of my life with. It just boggled my brain that the one person who was suppose
to love me no matter what, was the meanest person to me. Im not saying I was a angel either, I fought
back, and with me doing that it made things worse. Id like to think that someday Ill be able to get back what I
lost as far as years. I will never forget my ex-husband, he brought so many great memories and taught me so much in our
8 year relationship. I wish him the best in his future as he deserves it, just the way I do.
I am now working as a Fine Art Instructor, and working on my BFA (Bachlors In Fine Arts) in Fine Arts. I love
art and music, it is what gets me thorough each day. I could not live a day without music to my ears. Which brings me to how
i got involved with ICP . When I first heard of them, I thought how ridiculous is this, but in time,
i started to like them for other reasons, not what their lyrics said, or what they sang about or who they represented them
selves as. It was more from an artists stand point. I fell in love with their concept, and how original they were. There I
was analizing them, as TRUE MUSIC ARTISTS, which now a days not alot of music artists can say that for them selves. I could
not get over how their concept was so original, and brilliant. These two guys came up with this whole Dark Carnival, and who
they were, and who their fans would become, this wasn't like just some overnight super star stardom, this was truely artistic
talent.
The whole concept of Insane Clown Posse, and their 6 Jokers Cards, reeles me in like a big fish on a fishing pole.
I was hooked from then on. I do consider my self a Juggalette, however many may look at me and say "NO" she isnt. See
there is alot of controversy that upsets me, alot and most people out there when they here Juggalo or Juggalette, they think
of this trahsy, uneducated , goth or gangster dressing person. Well I am the complete oposite of that. I am clean sophisticated,
educated, human being, who considers my self a Juggalette. I live for the Carnival! Being a Juggalo or Juggalette, is being
who you are, with no one telling you how to be, all you need to do is be yourself. It doesnt matter if your white, black,
hispanic, asian, or anything else. Juggalo is YOU and who you are. So just because I dont look like every other lette you
have seen in person or on the internet, doesnt mean that I am not one.
I am currently in a relationship with my very own Juggalo, he is 30yrs old from Macon Georgia. He has put
a smile back on my face, and I intend to keep it their for a good while.
I am currently working on an art exihbit for my students, I hope to get some of the gallery pictures up on here
soon as well as some of my art work.
Anything else you want to know about me feel free to ask, either through email, or in the guestbook, you can also
find me on myspace.
