About Me

..
I am different than most anyone you will meet. You will either love me or hate me and usually you cannot put your finger on the reason why. I speak the truth and very rarely get caught in a lie which can mean I'm either brutally honest or good at covering up :). I usually take the road less traveled and go against the grain in many situations. I'm constantly laughing, try to find humor in most situations and enjoy impersonating people I know by pulling out that small aspect of their mannerisms. If I dont like someone or something then I will say it, so there should never be a question about how I feel. I'm extremely transparent with the fact that if something is wrong you will see it in my face as I have not mastered the art of compartmentalizing. I'm highly driven and I refuse to fail. I constantly think of ways to better myself or a situation and would rather improvise than give up. I look deeper into situations and usually dont take anything at face value which corresponds with the fantastic quote of "Believe Nothing of What You Hear and Only Half of What You See". I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY--I refuse to let anyone bring me down. It is amazing to me how often and quickly my life has changed. I am considered a fatalist where, in my opinion everything happens for a reason. I always write the following quote which basically explains what I mean: "Luck has nothing to do with it...everything is pre-ordained..Manifest Destiny. You cannot stop time from happening no more than you can will the oceans to overwhelm the earth, to cause the moon to drop from her outer sphere....Luck has nothing to do with anything!"--The Rules of Attraction.
In my opinion it is the most amazing book ever to be written or read! The excerpt means a lot to me b/c it exmplifies the theory of hope as the green light is a multi-faceted piece of symbolism. Gatsby spent his whole life longing for something better--money, success, acceptance, and Daisy (his one true love). No matter how much he has he never feels complete. Even when he has his large house full of interesting people and all of their attention, he still longs for what he cannot have.
I am a Senior Regional Director of Sales for a hotel company named Extended Stay Hotels. I travel around the country and work as an internal consultant in the Sales & Marketing realm of the hotel industry. I spend the majority of my time in Chicago which is where I consider my home even though I travel back to Kansas City quite often to visit my amazing friends. I attended Park University where I received my Bachelors Degree and If I miss any part of my life it would be the college experience. Anyone who knows me will say that I am fiercely loyal, funny, hyper, fickle, oblivious, opinionated and intense. I love my friends and I would do anything for them. I love to cook, dance, watch movies, hang out with my friends, shot gun beer, play beer pong and cuddle on the couch. travel layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy meeting all kinds of people but I am very picky with who I let in my life. More often than not I am described as a person that thinks he is "too good" or a snob. The truth is that I am actually quite shy and sometimes I just do not know what to say. I am protective of myself and if someone tries to bring me down I will do all that is necessary to take them with me.I would love to meet ABBA....actually just the women of the group. Their songs are like a happy place for me! I can honestly listen to all of their greatest hits from beginning to end without skipping a song. Yah, i get it...its an old group and sorta old fashioned, but I dont think its necessary to always be in the "now".

Music Association and Memories

I like music that evokes some sort of emotion from within.  Music tends to be like a ton of bricks hitting me and brining back memories that were pushed aside or forgotten about.  It's amazi...

The Power of Forgiveness
