there is always a method to my madness

About Me

i am one of the most complicatedly simple people you will ever meet. my life is simple in that i work, i train to fight, and hang out with my friends, family, and the love of my life Kama. i don't really do much else, and i don't need anything else. those things fulfill my life completely. i'm complicated in that i love to try new things. i love trying new food, new ways to push my body and soul, new places to visit. i love where i've been because it has made me who i am. but i am also excited to find out where i'm going because it will enable me to discover new things about myself.

My Interests

my interests include spending time with Kama, family and friends. training to be a better kickboxer at Unlimited Kickboxing. i'm interested in finding out what more crossfit and the zone will do for my health and body. i'm passionate about cooking, i'll make a mean dinner anytime :) the ocean brings me serenity. i love anything having to do with sports...snowboarding, soccer, marathons, triathalons, tennis...i guess you can say that i'm interested in a lot of things.

I'd like to meet:

my grandmotherother than that, i try to surround myself with positive people, those who are going to add value to my life. whether it is someone who gives me concrete, honest advice; someone who has a witty and intelligent sense of humor; someone who is just as interested in making me a part of their lives as they are wanting to be involved in mine. i have many acquaintances, but the few friends that i have are of the highest quality, and i'm blessed to have them in my life.any new person that i meet will hopefully add some value to my life. if you don't fit the bill, hopefully you'll at least amuse me trying :)oh, and the jabbawockeez, cuz i think i can add value to their dance crewView All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Heroes:

my parents are my biggest heroes. they sacrificed so much to give us the life that we have. they never let us settle for being "good enough", they always taught us to strive for more. i also look up to my brothers and sisters, each are successful in their own way, and they are all wonderful parents to my nieces and nephews. they took everything that was enstilled in us, and created wonderful lives of their own.
