About Me

Let's see. I am an intelligent, athletic, and outgoing person. I like to make the most of life. I have a variety of interests: Exercise, Reading, all Sports, Motorcycle racing, Skydiving, bungee jumping, fine dining, wine, traveling, art, theater, opera, movies, music, plays, and computers, just to name a few.I have started a new chapter in my life. Made a big move from Michigan back to Florida and I am hopefully on the path to what my future career will be. I am excited about the change and the opportunity.I like to maintain a positive outlook on life. I have realized that everything has a positive aspect, even though somethings at first may be negative, there is at least a positive lesson to learn. It has also become important to me to have a positive impact. What does that mean, I haven't totally figured that out yet. I think it can be done in a number of way, with people, the planet, animals, or just yourself, and maybe it is a combination of all of those things. I have a feeling that the process of finding out how to have a positive impact is going to be a great learing experience in itself.I have realized, in the past year or so, that life is about learning. We have good times and we have bad times, but from each experience there is a lesson that can be used later in life, we just have to be open to it. Sometimes we may not realize it at first, but when we do, it makes our lives that much better. So if you are interested in what I have to say it would be fun to chat. I figure the more people you meet, the better your life can become because that is just one more perspective of life you may not have realized.

I'd like to meet:

I am interested in meeting an intelligent, fun, athletic, optimistic person that likes to try new things. A person that is diverse, one that isn't afraid to get a little mud on herself but yet is ready to attend the opera.I have met a pretty great person. She has been able to show me the other aspects of life that I haven't seen. Life is about balance and she has been able to provide that balance for me.As far as meeting someone famous here are a few on my list: Salvador Dali - an amazing artist who saw things that most will never see.Albert Einstein - A genius who never really got to see the potential of his work.Pablo Picasso - He made the obscure unique.Bill Gates - A man a lot of people hate but one most could not live without.Charles Schultz - The man who made Snoopy has to be cool.Walt Disney - He knew that we all had a kid inside and wanted us to let that kid out to play.Maya Angelou - A woman of great words.John Nash - an increbible mind that was never really understood. .. .. ..

Music:

I generally like all music, not a huge country fan, but there are a couple of artists I do like. I like Disturbed, 10 Years, 1000 Foot Krutch, Linkin Park, 311, 12 Stones, Rage, Earshot, Chevelle, Finger Eleven, Shuvel Trapt, Switchfoot, and stuff like that. I do like new sounds so a lot of times I just like to buy a CD that I have never heard of and see what it's about. I feel music really depends on your mood and what you listen to will reflect that.

Movies:

Suspense, Horror, Sci-Fi, Thrillers, some documentaries, movies that make you think. The Crow is one of my all time favorites, along with Seven, Fight Club, SAW, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Incredibles, The Passion,an old school movie - Red Dawn, comedies too. A good laugh is always great, I have seen Old School like a million times, Office Space is probably my favorite comedy, along with Super Troopers. 300 is an incredible movie, Superbad, Juno,

I love comedy central. South Park, the Daily Show, Reno 911, The Colbert Report are some of the best. I am a big fan of the Simpsons, King of the Hill, the Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Futurama. It may sound funny but I do like Sponge Bob, Jimmy Neutron, and the Fairly Odd Parents. I am a kid at heart so I have to have my cartoons. I also like Bill Mayher, Dennis Miller, Penn and Teller's Bullshit, and comedy. The 70's show is also a good one. CSI, all of them, Forensic Files, Criminal Minds, Bones, Crossing Jordan, Law and Order SVU and CI, Cold Case and Without a Trace. House, Ghost Hunters, UFC Unleased, Hell's Kitchen, Root of All Evil, Top Gear, You are what you Eat.
