Pura vida......aka pure life

About Me

My main passion in life is surfing. Nothing will instantly bring a smile on my face quicker than Mother Ocean’s salty kiss. I truly believe that the worst day of surfing is better than the best day at work. The ocean itself is this beautiful dynamic entity. She has life and you can feel her energy wrapped all around you. My whole attitude improves every time I paddle out. I miss surfing A LOT!, so i am going to try to go more often. I also love to dance, not to top 40 crap but to real club music. It feels so go to be in the middle of a crowded dance floor randomly dancing with different people and feeling their energy and happiness come through how their body interprets each beat. Currently, I live in Louisville, KY. I just moved here two years ago. I got transfered here because of my job. Its actually a fun place to live. Everyone who has come and visited me, has had a great time. I eventually want to live back on the coast. I cant live away from the ocean for too long. I visit Miami at least once a month, I have a lot of friends down there and I always seem to have a great time.I am an extremely loyal friend and I will go out of my way to help people I love making money, and being able to buy the things that I desire. It gives me the freedom to travel and keeps me from stressing about life. Anything else you need to know about me, read my blogs or just ask.

My Interests

Surfing is my passion, i think about mother ocean all day long, and want to be in her embrace. There is also nothing like dancing in a dark club to a thumping beat, in the middle of a crowd that has a good vibe. A wave embodies the energy and power of the universe as it rolls towards the shore. Beauty, magnificence, and allure lie in that concept. They are analogous to people. That same innate energy which exists in a wave, is in us all as we steadily proceed through the sea of our lives. Surfers comprehend it more easily than the uninitiated. I think that is why we tend to recognize and be drawn into a path that keeps us tied to the sea. It is our comfort, solace, joy and strength, to be a part of something as eternal as all that.

I'd like to meet:

I like meeting people from other cultures and people who have different views, so that I can learn from them. What ever your passion is in life, let me know. I’d be glad to hear from you. I already like someone else. So im not looking at all. Right now I plan on enjoying my time with her and having fun with old and new friends alikeI want to be totally financially independent, retire early and enjoy life. As long as you are not a jackoff, checkout my top 8, i randomly change it to highlight some of my kickass friends.
