About Me

***Please check out my MySpace Musice Page at www.myspace.com/manuelrosado ***I was born on the small island of Puerto Rico, USA and no matter how far I am from there I always carry it in my heart. I am, as should we all be, a work in progress. It is my great desire in this life to ever be improving and growing in every possible way; in particular in terms of patience, generosity of spirit, love and strenghtening of my mind and body. I am consistent: who I am here online is no different than who I am out in the "real world". I am a blessed son of the most generous, most loving, most supportive parents anyone could ever wish for. I am a doting "father" of two wonderful cats Ritz and Tux who have changed my life forever for the better. I seek the answer to why God has blessed me with so much and what is it He wishes of me; what is my purpose in this life and how can I fulfill it? I am a man raised as such and unwilling to embrace post modern notions of manhood which I believe have set us all back (yes, ladies, I will open the door for you so please do not take offense). I recognize and believe that to be born a man or a woman is a matter of nature's choice, but to be a gentleman or a lady is a matter of OUR choice. I am an unconquered idealist.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anybody and everyone who has any depth and meaning to their lives. People who believe in the unseen world and appreciate the beauty of the world we can see. People who are not just religious, but more importantly spiritual. People who still say what they mean and mean what they say, but more importantly do what they say they will do. I suppose you could say I want to meet idealistic people who don't just dream but make those dreams come true. And of course, once all these attributes come together I want to meet people you can truly converse with and share ideas beyond just "hello" and "how are you". Life is short and small talk is just that: small. Think big.I have already been blessed with being in the presence of...

He Said He Was Hungry

In the midst of our own struggles, our own pains, it is all to easy to lose sight of the blessings we have.  I wish I could claim to always have a broad vision, but I too sometimes become myopic as a ...

The Error of My Ways
