About Me

** DISCLAIMER: IM NOT HERE TO COLLECT FRIENDS. I don't feel the need to add people left and right to be "popular". I'm more interested in meeting people rather than add people I'll never talk to. If you're interested in getting to know me, by all means drop me a line. PLEASE DONT SEND ME FRIENDS REQUESTS WITHOUT EVEN SENDING ME A MESSAGE. Thanks. * *
AboUt mE, mY PeRSonAliTy & RElAtionshIps:
I am a proud Lebanese American. I love my heritage, my culture and my nationality.
I have the largest Lebanese group on MySpace:
http://groups.myspace.com/LIBNAN
And a local Jacksonville Lebanese group:
http://groups.myspace.com/CedarsSocialClubOfJacksonville
Born in February, so... FEBRUARY: Abstract thoughts. Loves reality and abstract. Intelligent and clever. Changing personality. Attractive. sexiest out of everyone. Temperamental. Quiet, shy and humble. Honest and loyal. Determined to reach goals. Loves freedom. Rebellious when restricted. Loves aggressiveness. Too sensitive and easily hurt. Gets angry really easily but does not show it. Dislikes unnecessary things. Loves making friends. Daring and stubborn. Ambitious. Realizing dreams and hopes. Sharp. Loves entertainment and leisure. Passionate and romantic.
Above everything else, everything about me is real. I'm not your typical guy by any means. I believe in people being who they are, not who people think they should be. I don't believe in impressing someone by being someone I'm not. I do believe in standing up for what I believe in. I'm a very sincere, open, giving, faithful, passionate and very affectionate person.
I love to create no matter what it is  art, music, poetry, ideas, etc. I'm always the comedian and I'll do just about anything to make an ass out of myself to make someone laugh. I love distractions that stimulate me...a good song, a beautiful woman, a great painting, an intoxicating smell, gorgeous weather, the company of good friends, etc. I am definitely a dreamer. I'm very much a romantic, extremely affectionate, verbally and physically. I love people. I love animals. I am a perfectionist and sometimes I'm the farthest thing from it. I'm very idealistic, always thinking about how the world can be a better place. I'm a lover. I'm a fighter for the things I believe in. I'm a healthy eater. I'm confident, secure and very proud of the man I've become. I love my parents and am eternally grateful for all they have done for me. I love my two nieces and goddaughters Sophia and Shakira. If I'm one of your close friends, there's nothing I wouldn't do for you. I'm completely honest about everything, even if it's something you don't want to hear. I'll respect you enough to be honest with you. I genuinely care about people and respect their different views, opinions and feelings. I think that more people need to learn to love and respect each other, embrace and celebrate our differences and individuality. I despise racism, sexism, people who disrespect women, any form of prejudice towards ethnic groups, cultures, races, creeds and religious beliefs that are not one's own.
When it comes to dating and relationships, I know there is comfort in the little familiar things that drive us all nuts...the things that define us and make us who we are, the things that are always overlooked. I don't need a national holiday like Valentine's Day to express myself, be romantic or do something nice for that someone special. I like women who are very affectionate (verbally and physically), sensual, passionate, romantic, fun, silly, intelligent, sophisticated, intellectual, independent, strong and open-minded, committed, faithful, supportive, kind, caring, considerate, thoughtful and warm.
I love music, art, film, good food, etc. I have an extensive collection of music and movies (into the thousands on both counts). I love to go to art shows, the beach, good clubs and lounges, a quaint evening out or hanging with my friends. I love going to concerts and I love performing. I love to travel and need to do more of it. I spent almost 4 years of my life traveling America, mostly out west. I've been to 48 of the 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Amsterdam my favorite place, where my heart is, Lebanon.
aBOuT wHAt i dO:
A lot. People are forever asking me about what I do, I guess because everybody knows me for something, so here it goes:
Im a musician (I play guitar, bass and derbeki). I perform playing the derbeki with Simone The Arabian Princess from Lebanon and our troupe of belly dancers, The Stars of the Night.
Im a DJ (DJ FLuX). I started spinning at the Florida Theatre when I went to school in Gainesville, FL in 1994, then Orlando, Miami, and back to Jacksonville. I was the Art Bars first DJ and helped to build its momentum. Ive also spun or been a resident at Club 5, Xanadu, Thee Imperial, Fat Kat, Paradome, 618, Lillians and I also hosted the infamous Ecoutent parties with Christina and Greg Long.
Im an artist working in many different mediums, mostly acrylic paint and mixed mediums, watercolor, charcoal and photography. Ive done several art shows in the past and as one of the original Brooklyn artists (when it was in Brooklyn, Riverside), helped start the now famed Art Walk. I am working on a large book that will consist of my paintings, drawings, photographs and poetry where a second printing will be available for sale sometime in the future.
I have been the Show Production Director/Coordinator for all the LOVE BRIGADE Fashion Shows here in Jacksonville (based out of Brooklyn, NY), I will be managing all the Florida LOVE BRIGADE accounts as well as possibly designing for the line. The owner of LOVE BRIGADE is one of my very best friends, Alyssa.
Im a professional make-up artist and do fashion shows or events for different lines (Chanel, Estee Lauder, MAC, etc), although my favorite gig was doing my best friends wedding.
Before I moved back to Jacksonville, I was working as a Recording Engineer in Miami. I have an Audio/Recording Engineering Specialized Degree from the famed audio school, Full Sail Center For The Recording Arts. Unfortunately, the market for recording studios in Jax is next to zilch, so not a whole lotta recording goin on here.
I do some modeling (whoopee) - print and some runway. I love fashion.
I've worked as a Fashion Consultant and Personal Dresser and still sometimes do.
I work in the ILA Local 1593 as a checker.
I love to cook and Im working on two cookbooks: a Lebanese cookbook and a cookbook of my own creations and concoctions.
Oh, and I LOVE my rare, classic, vintage 1975 Porsche 914.

BTW - All you girls that like to "booty shake" in "da" clubs, yeah, our women started that a few thousand years ago, but with class and with a different purpose (not to be sleazy, but to celebrate being women). You're welcome.
