Cantante ardendo!

I'm glad one of us is memorable.

About Me

I am many things:I am emotional and loud. I am musical. I am poetic. I hunger, I thirst, and I cry. Mostly I just try to survive.Well now that the melodrama is done and over with, here's me. I am a spanish man who doesn't speak spanish and a german guy who cannot speak the tongue of his ancestors. I am 5'11 with brown hair, hazel eyes, and more weight than he wants to carry around following him like an annoying relative. I sing opera, it is my life and my goal. I sing anywhere I can and have been able to travel to some neat places, including China and Europe. I hate TV but love movies. I love tea with honey. I love nature and the beach. I hate judgemental people. I love kitties but can't have them in my house because I'm allergic. I'm too smart for my own good sometimes and quick to anger. I love my friends and cherish every moment I can spend with them, which isn't much lately, and I look forward to meeting new ones as life carries me down this road I'm walking. Welcome to me, hope you enjoy the stay.Layout Provided By FreeCodeSource.com - Myspace Layouts

My Interests

OPERA,music, cooking, online gaming, needlepoint, esoteric studies, ancient history, writing(short stories and poems mostly), good conversation, travel

I'd like to meet:

I'm looking to meet people who are interesting, have something to say, or just want to talk. I want to meet people who are tired of the way the world runs, even just a little, and are willing to step outside of it all and create a moment free of everything existence tries to force us to believe. Of course, I'm also interested in meeting old friends and new ones, catching up with old high school friends, and keeping in touch with family. Also, I wouldn't mind meeting a nice guy. It seems internet is the dating arena of choice these days so why not put myself out there, eh?

Music:

Music means so much to me, it's hard to describe exactly how much. I love all kinds of music, barring rap and really heavy metal. My passion is opera and classical music but I also adore Broadway. I LOVE Barbra Streisand, she is a phenomenal singer, really the things she does with blend are otherworldly. Music is the field I'm going to be working in so I really enjoy talking about it...REALLY.

Television:

What wise quote fits you? [pics]
Your wise quote is: "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising everytime we fall" by Confucius.
Yes indeed, you see true strenght can only be seen when a person has "fallen". Only then one can tell how they will handle it. Just don't make others fall so you can know who they really are. You on the other hand may be a very quick recoverer and don't let people bring you down. You are your own, and you're find with that. Emotional issues is something you handle rather nicely.
