I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me

I think it's true what they say; the man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been. I live in that belief every waking moment. I also think the highest universal truth of this life is that we are all connected and what you do to another, you do to yourself, so always treat others the way you want to be treated and understand that despite it all, we're all EXACTLY the way we're supposed to be.

My Interests

Anything to get my heart pumping, whether it's basketball, tennis/racquetball, horror movies though yet to watch a good one lately, or letting the neighbors angry little chihuahua get OH so close before I make a run for it.

I'd like to meet:

People who aren't sitting and waiting for the world to come to them, but are up and about actively creating a reason for getting up in the morning. People who don't let the limits others set on themselves dictate their own potential to achieve something great. People who don't believe the cosmos should bend to their own finite preconceptions, but allow for the possibilities no matter how absurd they might seem. Those are people I get along with best.

FYI, I don't accept friend requests from people I don't know and have never met. Better off writing me first to see if we click. If I think we have something good to offer each other, I'll "Accept" (and when I do, no need to post a "Thanks for add". I'm not that kinda guy). Not really into making "MySpace Friends"/Penpals, unless you have something profoundly interesting to share. I like having REAL friends, people who I can physically be present with, who I can claim I know and not be embarrassed about (most of the time). There's no satisfaction to be had from seeing my list grow unless it's filled with people I LIKE/Talk to/Hang out with.

Music:

Aesop Rock, Talib Kwali, K-Os, Gym Class Heroes, Nappy Roots, Anthony Hamilton, Lupe Fiasco through Gorillaz, Evans Blue, The Alkaline Trio, Karma,

Urban Species, Phantom Planet, Taking Back Sunday and Arctic Monkeys to name a few. But to be totally honest, SILENCE is the best song I've ever heard...

Movies:

The kid in me can't help but say Spider-Man 1 and 2. 3 was very queer. Terminator 2 is up there along with "V" for Vendetta. But as for the greatest movie of all time? I'll go with Groundhog's Day. The idea of perfecting your life because you've got unlimited time fascinated the hell out of me. Second to that at the moment, "Pay It Forward". I'd love to see people every day carrying out that principle

Television:

Only shows that have my full attention are Heroes, LOST, only because I had to find out what all the hype was about, and still have no idea! Battlestar and The Office.

Books:

"The Power of Now" by Ekhart Tolle
"Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn.
"Conversations With God" by Neale Donald Walsch
"Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers.
"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki
"More Natural Cures Revealed" by Kevin Trudeau
..

Heroes:

Only the selfless, but Those people are few and far between. ..

Fear, Love, or Obligation?

I seem to keep having this discussion with various people and I figure putting it down in one place will keep it from repeating.   Let your mind drift back for a bit... back to highschool when y...

Average Guys approach them as if she is this rare specimen - a potentially dangerous creature that immediately takes all their power away. It has their awe and admiration and at the sam...

Freedom

Sometime ago, maybe back about 5 or 6 years, I was exposed to an idea that changed the way I saw the world. When I woke the next morning, everything looked slightly different. Things that I thought he...

That cliche I keep seeing

How many times have you read this on someone's profile? "I love long walks on the beach." Are these women describing themselves as who they really are, or who they'd like to believe they are? ...
