About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Hello Out There!I had the chance to grow up with 3 siblings I will love for life; my 2 natured-spirited brothers (Scotty and Tyrone) and an adorable, beautiful sister, Rachel. I will always love you perpetually. D'anna, Anthony and Brian- what can I say. I love that we can share in great laughter together as we experience the wonders of our family. Brian, the last of the bunch, you mean more to me than you ever will know. You will always be my "buddy"!I looove music and the theater. It looks as though I am on stage more than in the audience. I am a classical trained bass singer and sing presently for Houston Grand Opera. I am also and actor, choreographer and director @ Encore Theater and have performed in Renaissance Theater, Paramount Theater, The Hobby Center and the Ensemble Theater (just to name a few).I love the youth! For now 19 years I have been involved with youth in a unique way. When I was high school, there were 2 great loves that I had- JROTC and Choir. Well when I was in 10th grade, a friend of mine name Alicia Walker (at that time) came to me and said, "wouldnt it be great to do this in churches/communities with youth on a mission?" Never knew that from that point, it would be a journey to travel. I founded and directed 4 drill teams.It has been a blast with all of them. And I have seen my lil kids grow up and become adults and now want their own kids in the drill team. I am so fortunate to run into 2 people that has helped me in faith. Joan Ellis and Petty Officer Harris. They were the 1st to introduce me to Buddhism. I couldnt quite understand eastern philosphy@1st but that was soon clear within weeks. I couldnt believe what I had been missing out on. It is so clear now how chanting a few words could be so powerful. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is the Key. I am seriously thinking about starting a Buddhist drill team starting @ the age of 9.I am a person that loves nature and not missing some of the simple things in life. I love to dance, laugh, roller coaster rider, walks in the park, ASL (when i meet h-o-h) beaches and relaxing at home. I'm spontaneous when I want to be but lately keeping it simple and living life no matter what comes my way; understanding that even in turbulent times you could find benefits (beauty) inside. Most of all I am so glad to be free from this world and all its attachments. So many are attached to money, gold, intimate relationships, wealth, big houses, cars, etc. All of these things are nice, but they shouldn't dictate your total being. These things are attainable by anyone that utilizes the courage and determination presently within. Man, I have not always been able to say that.There was a time that I allowed society to influence & dictate what a man is suppose to be, to have and to desire! We have all we need within to attain without. I hope I'm not talking over anyone's head, but this is what makes me unique--my perception. Don't get me wrong; I enjoy the finer things of life and what it has to offer, but I am also one that enjoys simple pleasures; going to amusement parks and laughing for no reason or at my own follies. I enjoy pleasant surprises from the heart, compassion and helping others to see outside the worldly frame that we have been defined. Life is so much bigger and when we finally awaken the greatness within us, we will see how greater love is.

My Interests

Tell me how it is, that he can have you, yet he neglects you, disrespects you, and at times, this fool forgets you. He does not miss you. He does not kiss you. He does not please you. He does not tease you. He even neglects to tell you how, hot, handsome and sexy you are too! I hope that he realizes, these mistakes that he makes, and realizes what he has is the real deal, because soon enough he will realize, that what he does not do for you, I will!

I'd like to meet:

In acknowledgement of All That Is....In my heart, I accept my perfect Being. I accept that the joy that I have intended is already in my life. I accept that love I have prayed for is already within me. I accept that the peace I have asked for is already my reality. I accept that the abundance I have sought already fills my life. In my truth, I accept my perfect Being. I take responsibility for my own creations, And all things that are within my life. I acknowledge the power of Spirit that is within me, And know that all things are as they should be. In my wisdom, I accept my perfect Being. My lessons have been carefully chosen by my Self, And now I walk through them in full experience. My path takes me on a sacred journey with divine purpose. My experiences become part of All That Is. In my knowingness, I accept my perfect Being. In this moment, I sit in my golden chair And know that I Am an angel of light. I look upon the golden tray - the gift of Spirit - And know that all of my desires already have been fufilled. In love for my Self, I accept my perfect Being. I cast no judgment or burdens upon my Self. I accept that everything in my past was given in love. I accept that everything in this moment comes from love. I accept that everything in my future will result in greater love. In my Being, I accept my perfection.

Television:

Namaste has such meanings as:*The Spirit in me meets the same Spirit in you *I greet that place where you and I are one. *I salute the divine in you *I salute the Light of God in you. *I bring together my body and soul, focusing my divine potential, and bow to the same potential within you. *I bow to the divine in you. *I recognize that within each of us is a place where Divinity dwells, and when we are in that place, we are One.

Books:

Whatever you desire to have for yourself, find a way to give it to others. That is how you will surely attain what you are truly seeking. Look carefully at your desires, and the desires behind the desires, and they will tell you much about who you are. Just as importantly, they will show you the unique and valuable gifts you can give to life.When you approach your desires from a purely selfish point of view, you will always be frustrated and disappointed. Instead, take a step back and see those desires in a more powerful and generous light.Consider your desires in terms of how they can inspire you to give value to your world. Then, instead of frustration, those desires will be leading you toward success and fulfillment.Your deepest desires are intensely personal. And yet the best way to express and fulfill them is by bringing their value to as many other people as possible.Desire can push you powerfully forward. When it does, look beyond yourself and let it take you someplace truly great.-- Ralph Marston
