Moved to Lakeview area in March '05, love it here...
There are goals that I'm shooting for, so I work as hard as I can to reach them. Plans are made for 20 years down the road, not for the coming weekend. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy getting together with friends, but happenings are always last minute decisions.
Not so much into the bar scene though. Don't like going to bars to talk. The intent of drinking is accomplished at the bar, edifying friendships through discussion is done in locations where you can actually hear one another. That said, I enjoy being with friends, even if all we're doin is just sittin at a house talkin or gettin out watchin movies or what have you. I enjoy life and get from it what I can, almost all events are good events or have good that can come from them... life is educational.
As I said, I plan for the future. That is done by working hard now and investing so that later on (should I live long) I don't have to worry my whole life, I want to retire early. No worries though, cuz if I die young then my nieces and nephews get lucky ;-) (meaning they get the inheritance).
Because of my plans I'm not driven by fashion, gadgets, gossip, shopping, etc. I have what I need to have (once in a while spoiling myself with something I want... but rarely). I'm function oriented... meaning that if something can be used to get ahead then it is a good purchase. I like the saying: “Is it an investment or a liability?â€, and constantly think about it. Will it aid me in my ventures or will it burden me in my dreams?
I am very family oriented and talk with my parents a few times a week... even though they live a good distance away (and their location makes it tough to visit). My siblings are very close (in thought) as well. I also just became a new uncle again … (8 Feb 06).
My favorite foods are: Korean (freshest and most flavorful), then Japanese (natural and clean taste), Brazilian (but haven't had for a long time, I miss it), Ethiopian (for a change of pace), Thai (It's great stuff, but I've had it a lot), and Indian (good spices and nice change of pace), then the rest of foods all just seem to mesh together. I love to eat many things though…
With each passing day I'm growing more and more aware of the world around... not just through social acceptance of culture and differences but also environmental education. I don't know to what extent I will become whatever I'm becoming. Yet, I believe in a free market system, but with that also do my best to encourage environmental investing and purchasing. I use as much natural/organic product for cleaning and eating as I can. I also enjoy public transportation (having sold my car back in June, wasn't using it) and try to use public transport as much as possible. I am trying to move in a much more renewable form of life as possible.
NATURE IS EXISTENCE, as I was raised on a farm in the central U.S. Later on in life I want to have a garden and trees on a roof-top condo or live on a farm (near a city). Cuz I have to get my hands into the dirt.
My enjoyment is to get out and walk, I love walking. I love living in a neighborhood that I can get out and take a short walk if need be. My little boy (the tan dog) is also a walker... he can't get enough of it. I can walk him for hours, in the dead of winter, and he still wants to do more. Although his my daughter (the blue-gray dog) hates walking and will only do it for a couple of blocks... then I have to hold her inside my coat to keep her warm for the rest of the walk.
I have a bad sense of humor... very dry... but I enjoy it and laugh at my own jokes all the time. It's good though, because then peeps start laughing... I just ignore the fact that they're laughing at me.
