About Me



Hey there! What's up all?! Thanks for checking out my page. Here's a little about me...I'm a tragic optimist...a hidden poet...a philosopher...a dreamer...an unexpected surprise...a flicker of fun...a sexy dance...a late night phone call...a great listener...an open mind...a dirty joke...a late date...a devilish grin...a shameless flirt...a worthy drinking buddy...a generous heart...a loyal friend...a so-so cook...an honest opponent...a quick study...observant...quiet and reserved...I could be your favorite way to spend the night.I have a lot of compassion for animals and even more patience for people. I like deep conversations that last all weekend. I'll share most of my secrets and keep all of yours. I believe in myself, love at first sight, karma, ghosts and reincarnation. I'm spiritual, but not religious. I couldn't live without music. I'm starving for something different, but drawn to people with old charm and grace, women who glide, who could melt me with a wink, a look, a touch or a smile.I'm a quiet man for the most part, but open up to the right people. I'm cautious, observent and take my time to get to know you. But when I do, as a friend, I'm all in. I love to fly, I love to swim and I love moving fast. I drive fast, and I know how to play hard. I'm a workaholic, but enjoy my me time.I love that a symphony could be so beautiful it could make you cry, that a sip of good wine can carry you to a far off vineyard and that an Armani suit can bring you power. But I also love the simplicity of a cotton t-shirt and a great pair of jeans, the sand between your toes, that first drink from a bottle of beer, the smell of pool chalk and the clink of an empty whiskey shot...lazy days on the beach are just fine with me...I'm an individual and a leader, but if you're my friend, I'll follow you forever. I'll always have your back and expect nothing in return. I can be whoever and whatever I want to be. I'd love to get to know as many of you as I can...I think this MYspace...this OURspace, is fun and a great way to interact with whomever and whenever you want! Be positive, be funny, be craaazy, but be yourself!I'm looking to make friends from everywhere. I'm not necessarily looking for love at first type either, but rather a connection...aren't we all? Need to know more? Just ask... Peace love and energy...always...two turntables and a microphone...one love dj's...

My Interests

jenn, peaches... thousand miles

Gwen Stefani-Cool

I had a friend once describe me as a slave to pop culture. This is true...I move with the times...can associate with current trends, sayings, artists, etc...I'm addicted to fashion magazines and shopping. I could browse forever...doesn't matter if it's a clothing store, a walgreens, target, grocery store whatever! I just enjoy browsing! I need like 5 hours in a bookstore! haha! no, seriously. I'm big on coffeeshops, tiny bars and huge nightclubs. I love to walk around somewhere new by myself, whether it's a new city, small town, or a new street I've never been down before. I'm in love with the idea of love... falling in love... being in love...I think people are amazing, such incredible souls, so scattered and lost, so misdirected...and yet somehow love brings us all together...cliche? you bet. could it happen today? absolutely. Who knows, maybe that's why we feel so alone at times, to remind ourselves to find out who we are first, so that when love happens, we'll be ready...

I'd like to meet:



The people I want to meet have essential manners when it matters most. They have a creative imagination, a wicked way with words and can spin a fairy tale out of the way we met. If you have "I love to laugh" in your profile, we might not have much in common. I'm more intersted in the person with an edge and a few dark secrets, hanging around in the the back of the room. They're not afraid to dish up some real dirt on themselves.

i just did this for the fun of it...hmm...interesting...

Which character from the L word are you?
created with QuizFarm.comThis heavy hitter is the real deal! She is such an amazing DJ!!! Check her out!! one love...

Music:

the cult

I listen to pretty much anything, it just depends on my mood. I love music and have it on pretty much all the time. My ipod never leaves my side! ;) I used to dj, so here is just a few of the genres i enjoy: house, tribal, hard house, drum and bass, punk, r&b, hip-hop, 80's metal and the hairband phenom, songs that'll make you rage as well as songs that make you cry. But I really love opera, jazz and classical piano anytime.

Movies:

The Lost Boys

I love movies and the emotional ride they take you for. Here are just a few: joy luck club, the last emperor, crash, hero, farewell my concubine, fight club, crouching tiger, house of flying daggers, better luck tomorrow, shakespeare in love, romeo+juliet, fearless, a lot like love, serendipity, thomas crown affair (both versions), the boondock saints, green street hooligans, serenity, cheesy action, sci-fi, sappy drama (yeah, i can admit it!), stupid humor (i.e. old school, elf, wedding crashers!), horror (esp. asian horror), anime (anything by hayao miyazaki!), comic book movies, black and whites, audrey hepburn and marilyn monroe, jerry lewis and dean martin, three stooges crack me up!, mobster movies, great 80's movies! Just don't have the energy or space to list them all! all I know is i love my netflix! hahaha!

Television:

hmm... sports, cartoons, three stooges, firefly, x-files, dead like me, tcm, azn, the L word, entourage, and my addiction, the sopranos!

Books:

I love books! Love to read them, collect them, and hopefully one day write them as well! Some of my favs: Peter Pan, Franny and Zooey, Great Expectations (follow your dream), Siddhartha (so beautiful, so insightful), Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (just read it again), Lone Wolf and Cub (best samurai storybooks...thnx john!), the tao of pooh and many others...here are just some of the authors I admire: emerson, jd salinger, whitman, frost, thoreau, shelley, browning, bryant, wordsworth, kafka, dylan thomas, yeats, christina rossetti, keats, amy tan, terry brooks, ethan hawke (very fluid writing), hitomi kanehara, michael romkey, bret easton ellis, chuck palahnilk, frederick reiken, pam anderson, tim burton, natalie krinsky, nicholas sparks, frank miller, darcey steinke, anne rice, kazuo koike & goseki kojima, john grishim, and of course, shakespeare.As you can see, I'm a big fan of classic literature and poetry, there's nothing like a poem...spoken, written or sung...whether it's special and unique, or the poetry of day to day life...poetry makes us whole...

Heroes:

his Holiness the Dalai Lama, Christopher Reeve, the UNHCR, underdogs, people who follow the dream in their heart, Thich Nhat Hanh (vietnamese buddhist monk, poet, and nobel prize nominee). Oh, and the Buddha, and as we are all one and connected, you are probably my hero as well. "One's real life is often the life that one does not lead..." Confucius

what is your deepest fear?...

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be bri...
