About Me


"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel."
I am a proud father of three magnificent children. I am a kind hearted, loving person who is very family oriented. I may be a little shy at first but open up after a short time. I feel that I am an honest and trustworthy person.
I work at an investment firm in the IT department. For the past seven years, I worked as a web programmer, developer, and database administrator there. I also develop websites and do Internet Consulting and Marketing on the side. Sometimes I also work as a catering chef and service manager. Cooking is a passion of mine and I always like to learn new and exciting dishes. Working as a chef offers a lot of new experiences.
Normally I am very positive. Positive energy radiates from my entire body when I am happy. Treat me with respect and I will return the same. Show me love and I will return love. I am a very balanced person (must be the Libra in me).
"The many paths of life we travel strengthen the being among us."
Libra
September 23 - October 22
Libra is the seventh Sign of the Zodiac, and it is at this point in the Zodiac that we start to see a shift. While the first six Signs of the Zodiac focus on the individual, the last six focus on the individual's contact with others and with the world. Librans are first and foremost focused on others and how they relate to them. We can call this the Sign of partnership with a capital 'P' because these folks do not want to be alone! For a Libran, everything is better if it's done as a pair. Librans are good when paired up, too, since they epitomize balance, harmony and a sense of fair play. While they are true team players at work, their favorite partnership is at home: marriage. Librans feel most complete when they are coupled up with their lover, forever.
You are a born dreamer and a just person. Key words in your life are beauty and harmony. You are perhaps as beautiful inside as your appearance. You love beautiful things of life and often live in a dream world. You are a true romantic with equal share of passion thrown into intimate relationship. There is always a sense of right and wrong and you do not like unfair means. You are demonstrative and your life partner may have very little to complain about in that respect.
Love and Sex
Finding the right partner will be a priority in the Libran's life. For those already in a relationship, maintaining the peace and harmony takes center stage. A Libran alone is a sad thing indeed, not to mention unnatural. They need to connect with others. As lovers they are expressive, creative, and balanced. They love to make their partners feel completely and thoroughly satisfied from conversation to lovemaking. The Libran's charm and dedication to striking the perfect balance with others makes them wonderful partners.

My Interests

As the heart shaped leaves fall and dance in the autumn winds, so the heart of the soul falls for love and dances to the tune of a greater romance.
Cooking, poker, basketball, movies, playing with my kids.

I'd like to meet:

I’d like to meet kind, caring people who can be honest with me. I’m just looking for friends right now to chat with and possibly hang out sometimes. Let's see where it goes from there. I’d like to have my own family again someday. The sky’s our limit. If you’re interested in chatting please send me a friend request.

Music:



This is one of my favorite songs. It can make me very happy or soothe me when I'm sad. When I die I want this played at my funeral. It's my only dying wish. Unfortunately I'm immortal so you're all shit out of luck. It's Beautiful People by Rusted Root

I love all music. Everything from Pearl Jam to Wu-Tang Clan. I am very open and will listen to anything. My favorites are Staind, Tool, and A Perfect Circle. Maynard James Keenan f-in rocks.

Movies:

"Revenge is a dish best served cold."



br
I love all kinds of movies. Watching movies is one of my favorite things to do.

Television:



I don't really watch many TV shows. I like them but I usually never have time to watch them or I prefer to watch a movie.

Books:

I am not a big reader. Most of the books I have read are computer programming books. Sound like fun, I know...

Heroes:



Jesus. My parents who have been married 38 years (now that is love).

Not Looking Back

I have taken two steps forward and one step back. At least that is one step in the right direction. Trying to move forward is so hard. Especially when you can't understand why it has to be this way. S...

Moving Forward

I like to write when I am feeling upset. It helps me psycho-analyze myself in a way. I am one crazy dude I guess :-) It really helps though. Normally I don't share what I write with others. I figured ...
