*I am happiest on the beach - preferably at sunrise or sunset - and in the woods...anytime in the woods :) I love being outdoors, and I crave sunshine. *I would like to be barefoot all year long, but I need to move someplace warmer to do that, ideally closer to the ocean, and that is one of my goals. *I dream of traveling all over the world...Italy being my first destination. *I love music and have it playing almost all the time, and I love to find new and different music, but my heart belongs to Pearl Jam. *I try to live consciously, making choices with regard for the earth, all of it's creatures, and all my brothers and sisters in humanity. *The most important thing in the world to me is my kids.

Nothing sexier than a man being a good daddy :) What is your dominant Element? (A serious personality test, for a change)
Water is the giver of life, but also the taker. We as humans cannot exist without it, but the wrath of Water can rival even the hottest flame. Water Elemental people are kind, calm, and nurturing, always willing to help others before themselves. Others often find solace and even relaxation in their presence, especially animals and children. Just as Water can find its way through any obstacle, so can these people adapt to whatever troubles life gives them. They reach out to help those in need, if not direct aid then with empathy and sympathy. They are very in tune with the emotions of other people. Personal relationships are very important, and if a friend is ever threatened, the full might of Water is brought to bear. They find themselves incapable of harboring grudges, and believe that any individual can be forgiven for any transgression, no matter how severe. They are also artistic, preferring the visual medium to convey a reflection of their emotions.
