About Me

Our souls will always be a work in progress...... ...As my attempt, I will try to describe "me" through my perception of how I think certain people percieve me, who have chosen to take the time to understand me and or be apart of my life. If you are a person that throws caution in the wind and lets the chips fall where the may, you would describe me as an over analyzer that tends to think in circles and my greatest conflict is myself. My Father would say that apart of me takes after him, whom is cautious, safe and has been conditioned to be a cynical person that falls victim of being jaded by the disappointments of reality. If you are a friend that enjoys my presence on a day or night of spirits with good conversation and witty banter, you would say that I never take myself seriously nor should be taken seriously because, "if you can't laugh at yourself, your life would be a whole lot longer and mundane than you would like". The human spirit exposes itself when we push through facing humility and strife dead on". My Mother would say that I am a Dreamer almost to a fault with a passion for life (food,music and travel) and my impulsive nature stems from my constant hiccup of remaining interested and focused, the effort to remain open-minded, the search for inspiration through my experiences. If you challenge me you would say that I am a true earth sign, a raging bull but ironically with a thirst for exploration and spontaneity at the same time conflicted in looking to be grounded and find routine in a place to reflect, always up to be a partner in crime, to never stop trying to know that one person whom you spend face time with, having a tattooed mentality believing in loyalty, trust and the persistence of communication are the keys in prolonging mutual beneficial relationships, "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and be loved in return", Nat King Cole . My Sister would say that I am "The Devils Advocate"....no angle unexplored, I am a big Brother or bother depending on my mood, stubborn as hell but sometimes willing to compromise, always try to listen, understand and protect. If you are my Professor he would say that I have my moments, there are always room for improvement, I'm a perfectionist with the things that I feel strongly about, I'm a person that will learn from my mistakes even if it has to be from the second time. I learn from doing not from talking."The More That I Know & See In This Lifetime, Is More That I Dont Know Anything At All", There Will Always Be Somebody More Wise than I.......My apologise for my short comings and ignorance by not giving credit where credit is due.
