About Me


I was born and raised here in Hawaii but I lived all over the world. Yes...I am a military brat! I call California my second home since I lived there almost 10 years. My other home is here in Hawaii where I live now. I received my degree in Criminal Justice but ended up working in Escrow...I have no idea how that happened...lol. I now live in Aiea with my fiance Robert and daughter Aliyah. Generally, I am down to earth and a very open minded person. I have very liberal ideas and beliefs and I am usually up to trying ANYTHING once, and if i like it...maybe two or three times. I love to travel. I have been known to be a control freak and very bossy at times...
but I can be reasoned with.

My Interests

I love dining out and dancing

I try to read books when I get the chance and I enjoy watching and analyzing various films. I also like to work out at the Gym(now that i got my lazy ass up from the couch). I enjoy theater, plays....and even some opera. I hardly get to do these things here....but when i was in San Francisco i loved it!!! I enjoy traveling when i can afford it. DESSERTS!!!!.....Trying new Restaurants and different types of foods. Listening to music....especially corny or old slow songs, they don't make um like they use to. I love intimate one on one conversations. Walking in the rain without an umbrella, coffee ice cream, and dark chocolate. My favorite drink are......COSMOPOLITANS!!!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is cool and down to earth. I can't stand high maintenance, materialistic people. Life is too short to be stuffy and live your life for "things".

Music:

I am an ecclectic when it comes to music.....
I can only stand so much of HARD CORE RAP and COUNTRY.
Other than that i love all types of music. I am starting to get into the hiphip music thats out there right now. For awhile they were putting out a bunch of crap!! I'm old school so i am a bit biased to some of the stuff they put out that they call "music". THANK GOD FOR USHER!!! Just to name a few...i like slow old school R&B like Luther Vandross, DeBarge, On the slow tip I like Keith Sweat, AL B Sure..... I like Chante Moore, and Kenny Latimore songs. I am also corny in the way that i like Chicago, Journey, and even Air Supply(I probably know all the songs by heart)!!!! I also like old school funk and pop music. Listening to Cumbia/Salsa or any type of Latin music gets me going on the dance floor or even at home. I love anything that makes me want to dance or makes me remember the old school days. I Especially love all 80's music...i know its corny, but oh well!!

Movies:

Quintin Tarantino's films.
I am a sucker for musicals and 80's flicks.
My favorite poetic/artsy movie is "Fall" by director Eric Schaffer.
It is a excellent film. I love artsy films but it's hard to find other people who can appreciate them the way i do.
"CLOSER" is my new favorite movie of the moment

If I really need the boost I have been known to pick up a motivational self help book."The Road Less Traveled"...it's a classic.

Heroes:

• My father...for more reasons than I could ever explain.
• My fiance Rob, for using his incredible talent toward making his dreams a reality no matter what the circumstance may be. For also being there for me during the rough times I've come across and being by my side during the good times as well. For letting me be myself without judgement or constraints. My bes tfriend, confidant and nemisis all in one..lol. For being the man who definately keep me on my toes....and so much more that there is not enough space to explain what he is to me. : )
