People say that I am the most down-to-earth person ever. But then I'm a big dreamer too. So isn't that so oxymoronic?
I believe that "What goes around, comes around!" I've always treated others the way that I would like to be treated in return. I also believe that in order to gain respect, you first have to show respect and earn it in return.
I saw this on a train ride back to London from Southampton. April 2006

"Let's be clear.
Respect is everything.
But you have to earn it.
What I'm giving you is a chance."
-The Godfather-
I'm generally an easy going person. Family and friends come first and I can be as loyal as "man's best friend". But don't step on my tail if you don't wanna get bitten.
Personality matters to me more than physical appearance. I believe there has to be a connection between two people no matter what level they are at. Whether it's family, friends, colleagues, clients, relationships... there has to be some sort of compatibility to take it one step further.
I work hard, but I play just hard. I like to be on the mysterious and exotic/mystical side at times just to spice things up.
"Unwritten"
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh, oh
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

"To continue loving someone when there is no promise of that love thriving, that is romance.." ~ Roy Enrique Jr.
"Hold on to your dreams for they are, in a sense, the stuff of which reality is made. It is through our dreams that we maintain the possibility of a better, more meaningful life." ~ Leo Buscaglia
"Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command."
"The Greatest Irony of Love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go. We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves."
