The gene pool needs some chlorine

About Me

My place here in Austin really feels like home but lately I have been thinking that a change for some time might be good. I am always trying to come up with different things to do. I cant tell you how much fun it is to play stupid games with friends and spend a night in. Dont get me wrong, I love going out. I am open-minded but I have strong morals. Im easy to get along with and it is not hard to tell how I am feeling. I have a pool table in my garage that my dad gave to me when I was sixteen. He always beat me. He died when I was 27. My dog is five now and she is incredible. I found her at the pound and we bonded instantly. I love to cook and making dinner for friends is one of my favorite things to do. Good music, good wine, and good company are three of the best things in life. Family is very important to me, even more so now. I never take time for granted. I am always a sucker for a good pun joke..dont get me started. I get discouraged when people feel that they cant talk to me about something that concerns them. Honesty in relationships is crucial. Theres a good chance I will piss you off in disagreements but I am also a good listener and appreciate insight that helps me see the other side of things. If I dont understand something I have no problem letting you know. My work keeps me in check, so to speak, when it comes to the pitfalls everyone experiences in life. You would not believe what some people have had to go through and I am constantly reminded of that. Hopefully, someday I will be blessed with a family like the one I grew up in.

My Interests

wakeboarding, scuba diving, salt/fresh water fishing, cooking, reading, traveling, painting, marine aquariums, horseback riding (English), playing pool, salsa dancing, taking my raft out on Town Lake, and going to the park with my dog Booze.

I'd like to meet:

As far as meeting that "certain someone" I think the most admirable traits in either a friend or something more would be a good sense of humor, confidence, compassion, and the ability to continuously appreciate the good things they have been blessed with in life. In my line of work I see the worst situations imaginable and it amazes me when someone only has a small clue as to what they have. I think self-respect and assertiveness without excessive self-worth also add significantly to the quality of one's character. If someone continues to be walked on, cannot stand up for their beliefs, or tries to force them on others then it is not possible to have any confidence in what they say. Most importantly, one has to be content with their self before they can ever be happy with someone else. Many I've met have either not reached this point, lack the capability to do so, or even worse they are not sincere enough to uphold any propositions that would make me even consider slowing down...until now ; )

Music:

Local favorites: GET IT ON PRODUCTIONS, BELLA PARKER, THE SWAMP GIRLS, TUNA HELPERS. Favorite album: So Red The Rose - Arcadia. Favorite band: Depeche Mode. Favorite artist: Sting. Favorite song: It constantly changes so I don't really have one.

Movies:

The Godfather Series, Prizi's Honor, The Lost Boys, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Better Off Dead, Any Given Sunday, The Three Amigos, Kill Bill 1&2, and The Jacket.

Television:

Discovery, Food Network, National Geographic, Travel Channel, Comedy Central, Adult Swim, Trigger Happy TV, World's Best, Biography, Pop-Up-Video...blah blah, but I can't stand any of it for too long.

Books:

The job is great so I'm holding off on continuing formal education for a while. I recently read "Holidays in Hell" by P.J. O'Rourke and laughed until my stomach hurt.

Heroes:

At this point I have to say my mom. She never ceases to amaze me! Just when you thought she was done she stood up and kicked life in the balls. Now she seems to sleep on it like a tempurpedic matress. My grandfather has always enjoyed my independent way of thinking and never expected or wanted me to be a women who had to be "taken care of". Then there was my father... He had a strong character, good morals, and a GREAT sense of humor. He was a pilot, a colonel in the US Airforce, a writer, an artist, and was successful on the air waves and on TV. What he taught me in life continuously plays a part in how I deal with things today.

rambling

So why is it that when you have a good idea some people feel like it's perfectly fine to take it and use it as their own and give you no credit whatsoever?!  This really drives me nuts!  I g...

How to Loose Your Lover

This is one of the funniest movies I have seen.  It's described as "a comedy for the bitter, cynical, hopeless romantic in all of us" and it is just that...rent it....
