As for me, all I know is nothing. -Socrates

About Me

I am 28 and live here in Miami. Just graduated from FIU with a History degree and got out of the army about a year ago. Driven, motivated, intelligent, outgoing, I LOVE wine, and much, much more...I believe in the following philosophy: LIVE as if it was your last day, LOVE like you've never loved before, DANCE as if no one was watching you and SING as if no one is listening. All these little things are what make life so precious.I can be a bit old school, because I believe in values that seem to be lost in today's society. JUSTICE, BENEVOLENCE, POLITENESS, VERACITY, LOYALTY AND ABOVE ALL, HONOR...without these, a person really is nothing...Always willing to chat and meet new people, not looking for anyone as my life is good right now.

My Interests

Dancar, beber, e festejar...sempre. Estudando historia, e nunca esquecendo de onde eu sou. Uma terra MARAVILHOSA, abencoada por Deus.E claro, conhecer mais Brasileiros aqui nos EUA." Viver; inventar o seu dia; desconhecer arrogancia. Exalar pura energia! Fazer poemas de amor. Devolver sorrisos. Acreditar que o bem vence o mal, sempre. Enfeitar o coracao com cores! Conquistar amigos; e ser sempre leal e fiel. Tranformar dor em alegria. Ser amor de coracao. Inspirar justica. Viver feliz; correr atras dos sonhos, da inspiracao, dos projetos. Buscar o entendimento das coisas. Ser sempre da paz. Orar em agradecimento das divas recebidas. Buscar o que te faz bem e aos outros tambem. Beijar na boca. Amar! Pintar o mundo com as cores que te der na telha. Estar sempre jovem. Viver honestamente; ser sempre verdadeiro. constantemente redescobrir as coisas belas da vida, lembrando que o sorriso eh o idioma universal. Ouvir musicas que acalmem a alma. Desacelerar e aproveitar o tempo, cada pequeno momento de prazer. Lembre-se: O final nao existe. Tudo eh um eterno sonho. Viver e simplesmente ver a vida com o coracao."

I'd like to meet:

I love this crazy tragic, sometimes almost magic, awful beautiful life.So pessoal para conversar e festejar.Sempre a procura de Brasileiros/as expatriados, morando aqui nos EUA, pois sei que eh difficil morar aqui, pois as saudades do Brasil as vezes matam. =o)Nao estou procurando pessoas que sao cinicas ou cheias de si. Efim, nao procuro nada mais que amigos normais, cheios de vida e com uma paixao para ter um bom tempo.Ah, e tambem... Eu sou da melhor cidade do Brasil...SAO PAULO!!!! hahaha.

Music:

Fabi, eu e a Thais. Minhas brasileirinhas que conheci la em Austin, pouco apos voltar do Iraque. Amigas LINDAS!!! Tenho MUITAS saudades delas. So no Texas que da pra conhecer Brasileiras sem problemas.

Television:

The guys!!! Couldn't ask for more, with these peeps, who needs TV???? Some beer, some girls, a pool hall...good times.Johnny Boy and Peek-a-Boo Rob. (Hey!!! I could really DESTROY McDonalds right now.) (Ok, Ok, Ok, Ok....)

Heroes:

My mother, alone she raised me and my brother...through thick and thin, she has always been there. My brother, for being the selfless person that he is, a bigger heart I have yet to find. My grandfather, God bless his soul, who was a family man, but above all, a true viking, a soldier, a Ranger who bravelly fought in the Pacific war. My Great Uncle Ken, whom I know has done many good things in his life, whom is still a mystery.
