About Me

VON THADEN = DETERMINATION LAUGHTER EXCELLENCE POSITIVITY IMPACTING

von thaden
rocks!

I like meeting new people. I love my children, life, food, family, friends, excercising, movies, going out with friends & free hugs. Making people smile is my specialty. Maintaining a positive mental attitude is essential for success. I flourish when excercising my creativity. I enjoy being with my friends. My motto for life is, "Never, I mean never stop running to first base." For work, I travel throughout the Northwest & Canada regularly. I've lived in four states, but born & raised in the Chicago-land area, and lived here nearly 10 years.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Inspirational people who overcome obstacles, appreciate humor, are genuine with hearts of passion, who love themselves, who love others & cherish life, who believe in themselves and who enthusiastically want to experience life, abundantly. People with dreams. Creative People. People who pursue excellence. People who take care of themselves. People who are generous.

That's my story, oh yeah and cardboard break dancing. Other voices I like: Nick Lachey - he has serious talent, have you ever heard him sing broadway type music - wow!, Ewan McGregor was fantastic in Moulin Rouge, & Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond. Stars

Heroes:

von thaden
rocks!

People who follow their dreams successfully. Thomas Jefferson for his mind & passion, Rembrandt for his genius ability to paint inexplicable details that take months to fathom, my cousin, Shot, for being a self-made millionaire, my mother for doing the best she could, Bryan Magelby for his leadership, my close friends for being there for me when I needed them, and even some not so close friends, Jesus Christ for being my savior. Myself for fulfilling my destiny stage by stage.

Hate reversed is Love
