I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

No regrets. I love people. I'm driven by the stories the emotions and the love of those I've been fortunate to come in contact. Life happens... not interested in hearing all the things that didn't work. Let's figure out what does! My peace of mind, joy about living and love, not because of who you are but because of the way God has allowed me to see you, is what I value most.It's easy for me to enjoy people, but it's also easy for me to be sober-minded and let things go. I like being around growth. Definately a realist, artistic (not an artist), adaptable to whatever... I have my preferences, but as long as its positive I can play. I'm enjoying the ride.

My Interests

I like life, being connected to family and friends, work, quite time, cooking, running, outdoors, detail, new experiences, excitement.

I'd like to meet:

People with whom I would have something in common. People who are serious about what they are doing in life, but playful in living life. People who understand who they are and who are happy in who they are becoming.

Music:

I love music!!!!! New music, old music, classical, jazz, latino music, and gospel music, and so many not named. I like some of all of it.

Movies:

Godfather, Scarface, 10 Commandments, any Denzel Washington movie, Terrance Howard movies, Sean Penn movies, Oceans 12 and others, Silence of the Lambs, A Beautiful Mind, oh 300, loved it. Action, Drama, Imitation of Life, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner the old one and the funny one. Old Cosby flicks, Billy D.. Mahogany, Lady Sings the Blues!!! I like comedy, not that corny Dumb and Dumber type comedy tho.

Television:

Not really big on TV. Cosby Show, I watched Wildin Out a few times, I used to like Soap back in the day.

Books:

Don't do a lot of recreational reading... I prefer non-fiction. I read magazines.

Heroes:

God's my all time hero. I admire Maya Angelou, Steve Harvey, Richard Branson, Will Moss, the late Ed Bradely, and Michael Dell, Gates efficiency. Lots of people who may cross my path for just a minute... and for whatever reason have that "Wow" impact that drives me.

Reality

I like to make people feel good. I enjoy seeing people happy. The reality of my day... the reality of our times... is that there's not always a happy answer. There's not always right words to say... e...

Men - Simply complicated! (borrowed term)
