About Me

What you see is what you get. I live life with an All-or-Nothing Outlook. Give 110% or don't give at all. Life is too short to waste on doing things Half-Assed. I love attention but avoid the Spotlight. I would hand over my life if I thought you needed worse than I did...
I'm Manny... I'm Raw with Animal Instincts... 110% Wild. I play hard, work hard, live hard and sleep so hard that if the house were to fall down around me... after the dust had settled, I'd probably still be there sleeping. I love adventure, love to travel and love a challenge! I have seen and done a lot more than most people, but I live on the edge and have a tendency to live for today. My hands are hard, my skin is thick, I've worked from the desert of Southern California to the Top of the Winter Rockies in Colorado. I've set steel in a New England winter and poured hot tar in a Miami summer... You cannot Beat Me! Kick your Balls and Go Home!
I'm a General Contractor, an Engineer, an Architect, A Builder, Project Manager and Superintendent and a Long time ago, I was a Nurse. My experience incorporates Commercial Roofing and Residential Remodelling, but there isn't much I can't do well. I'd rather work myself and know that the job got done right than sit in an office pouring over paperwork, sales, finances and politics. I'm very "Hands-On", I can visualize in my mind, Exactly what it is I want to do - and then without prints or drawings, go and do it... I have a Photographic Memory and am great with places and locations and Numbers, But I am terrible with Names.
I have the best friends a person could have. I've travelled extensively, lived in many other states, travelled outside the country, worked many different jobs... A person couldn't hope to have better friends than I do. Thank You! I love you guys!
I'm a positive individual. I see the good in people and situations. Everything happens for a reason, even if that reason isn't immediately apparent. Even the worst life-struggle, works out in the end to a purpose. I believe that there is nothing that can happen to me that God and I can't handle. Yes, I'm a believer... You can't look death in the eyes as many times as I have, live to talk about it and not be a believer. Death does not frighten me... What frightens me, is Not accomplishing everything that I want to accomplish, before I die.
As calm as I may seem to appear, I am in a constant state of thought. I live with my heart and soul. I'm quite emotional; I've learned however that getting excited doesn't help. "Water under the bridge" doesn't cease where it's going just because you can't see it any more. But you can't go back and change history either, you can only influence the future by making smart decisions now. And if there is a storm coming, you can't hold back the flood... But you can prepare, you can be ready. When I was in school, I wasn't the kid that asked the most questions... I was however that Nerd that went and studied the subject matter from 10 different angles, so that no matter what kind of turns the classroom discussion took, I'd have an idea about what was going on.
If you want to know more, Just ask. The art of Conversation has been lost to Instant Messaging, Text Messaging and Graphic Media... I'd rather buy you a Coffee, a Tea or a Soda in exchange for an hour of your time and Conversation.

My Interests

Music, Fresh cut grass, Premium Vodka, Computers, Answering the door naked, California, Shoes, Ebay, Classic Literature, Texas, Getting naked, Mountains, Arizona, Fishing on the shores of an ice cold river, Grilling red meat, Cats, Sunny Days, Thunderstorms, Boston, Chicago, Jacksonville, Huntington Beach, It's 11pm Tues and I have been awake since Saturday, New York, People, Technology, Audio Equipment, Spring, Purple Roses, Atlanta, Comfortable Jeans, Feather Pillows, Suspense, Los Angeles, UT2k7, Colorado, Sleeping in the buff, Did I Say Vodka?

Manny is my friend, I want to take his survey

I'd like to meet:



I like interesting people who are deeper than the smile on their face, the clothes on their back or the car that they drive.

I try to surround myself with Intelligent people, who's strengths compliment my weaknesses. I'm drawn to people who challenge me, keep me intrigued... People who can hold a conversation for more than 5 minutes, share some of my interests and common goals. Many of my friends are Business Owners, Managers, CEO's, Researchers, Analysts, Promoters, Musicians and Artists. People who aren't afraid to stray from the worn path of life and do a little "Off Roading".

I look for the same in a Relationship, and Emotionally speaking, I am ready to "settle down". I need a strong woman who can hold my interest and challenge me. Someone who is confident and comfortable in her own skin. Someone who will call me out if I overlook something but who will support my decisions as well. She doesn't have to be Everybody's Rockstar or Everyone's Princess, Just mine... I want the fairytale, the 1 in 10 Million. I've been around, dated a lot. I'm picky and selective. And I have a right to be, it's a forever thing.

I ask a lot of people out for coffee, lunch, to the movies, the park or just to hang out. I truly enjoy the lost art of conversation. It gets me away from my Cell Phone, Computer, Busy Life... And gives us a chance to just sit and talk. If you think that I'm asking you for a date by asking you out... You couldn't be more wrong. If I'm asking you out because I'd like to date you, then I'll say, "Hey, I really like you, let's go out on a date. Meet me for lunch tomorrow..."

I like to know people. I choose my friends carefully. You don't get to know someone by going out and getting shit-faced. I'm not always staying in the geographical area where many of my friends are, so I don't have the priviledge of daily contact. Of course, in the face of adversity, we have the opportunity to get to know one another really well, really fast... but I'd rather avoid the life-threatening incident and grab a bite to eat instead.

I Support my Friends
