Add to My Profile | More VideosWhen Someone says, "I Love you" What they really mean is "I Love Me and I would love it if you would stick around for awhile to make loving myself even more enjoyable."Once upon a time long,long ago...
To share a little about myself, I work at home doing Medical Transcription. It's boring work... but it pays the bills... . I was raised in Detroit, Michigan (in da hood); but I have been a resident of California since 1991. I have three sons: Tino 31 (Airforce Special Forces) Erick (ageless rapper/actor) and Leon, Jr. 9 (aspiring actor... who hopes to one day save the rain forest and all endangered species from extinction). As for me, I'm just soaking up every moment of life today 'cause tomorrow ain't promised; and each tomorrow that does come, brings me closer to the time when there will be no more tomorrows . Also, I'm not convinced that there is any hereafter, so I'm trying to do all my living in the here and now. When I'm not working or bothered with the drudgery of every-day life , I'm hanging out at the pool, just lay'n back, chill'n, listening to whatever kind of music I'm in the mood for, sipping on a Margarita (sometimes a virgin), hopefully with a friend, but I'm okay alone too. I love palm trees, sunny days, cool breezes, happy people, and Jamaican Jerk chicken. My biggest pet peeve is inconsiderate, negative, pessimistic people 'cause my half-empty glass is always half full, and I love life and everything about it.
- Get Your Own

My Interests

Living out my wildest dreams with the one special soul who is worthy of all that I have become; living and loving like there's no tomorrow, tasting all of life's pleasures...real and imagined. For leisure, I enjoy relaxing by the pool, walks on the beach, watching and listing to the waves, catching a beautiful sunset. I also like dining out and/or intimate gatherings with friends and family, stimulating conversations and, above all, I gotta have laughter.

I'd like to meet:

MY SOULMATE... The man who can be faithful with the freedom that I will willingly give him. The man who is secure enough in himself that he doesn't have to keep tabs on me. The man who understands that the fact that I like my freedom doesn't mean that I'm a playgirl

but that I appreciate the need for freedom simply because I cherish my "me" time. The man who accepts that I am able to appreciate him even more in times of his absence because reasonable absence only makes my heart grow fonder. It is only ridiculous, uncalled for absence that will make my heart wonder. The man who I can trust with the knowledge that I don't have to know what he did or where he was when he wasn't with me because all that really matters is the joy we share when we're together.

With all the freedom that I willingly give, I'm not saying that I'm okay with my man running around sleeping with other women when he's claiming to be "into me" "feeling me" "wanting me" or "loving me." It simply means that I'm not gonna waste my time interrogating him on his whereabouts and his who-withs 'cause my questions won't stop him from doing whatever it is he wants to do. Also, the way I see it, If I'm feeling the need to ask, I already know the answer. For that reason, what he needs to know about me is my love for him is conditional. It's conditioned on his faithfulness. If he jeopardizes our love and brings it to an unhappy crossroad, I would choose to love him as a friend before I allow myself to hate him as my lover. I will share complete love with this man only for as long as I feel his complete love for me. I'm sure that I won't feel any man's love as deeply as I need to feel it if he's running around spreading himself too thin. Logically speaking, I don't know why so many people bought entirely into the unconditional love concept anyway; it just ain't natural. If you don't believe it, stop loving your flower garden and see what happens. It won't stick around smelling good and looking pretty for you; the damn thing will wither and die. And that's only because it doesn't possess the means to get up and run the hell away from its neglectful "lover." If it were able to, it would be out the door in a second looking for that special someone who IS willing to give it all the love it NEEDS, DESIRES, and DESERVES--because that's the way nature planned it. Check out my "Amorous Combinations" blog to see more on compatibility, keeping in mind that your Moon and your Rising sign will modify your Sun characteristics somewhat, making less compatible Sun signs more compatible. On my willingnes to rely on the stars to guide me AND....I'm just open to all possibilities; and so far, none of the conventional "love connection" methods have proven to be reliable; so yep, I'm looking to the and the to help me find my ONE TRUE LOVE. So, my King, WHERE ARE YOU? your Queen is trying to connect with you in this lifetime. Oh..... the possibilities. A girl can dream, can't she? Otherwise y'all, I'm just here trying to connect with some fun-loving people who don't have a lot of free time on their hands, but who know how to make the best of whatever leisure time they have. I get along with most anyone, but I gotta tell ya, Virgos do try my patience!!! (Well, at least the ones who tend to over analyze even the most insignificant details). Lighten up y'all, it ain't that serious! Stargazer, Out...

Music:

I love old school soul, R&B, Reggae,jazz, all of Motown 60's. Some of my favorite artists are Nancy Wilson, Otis Redding, O.C. Smith, Bobby Womack, Sam Cook, Bill Withers, Lou Rawls, Marvin Gaye, Marlina Shaw, Stevie Wonder, Bloodstone, The Dells, Al Green, Spinners, Manhattans, Enchantment, Barry White, Chicago, Bob Marley, The Last Poets...

Movies:

Madam X, Imitation of Life, Ragtime, Two Can Play That Game, Sparkle, Five Heartbeats, Love Jones, Love and Basketball, Waiting to Exhale. In general, I love romantic comedies and drama.

Television:

Only for sedative purposes. I do love Sex and the City, and watch it every night before finally dozing off

Books:

Mostly History books... The ones that tell it like it really was. Two in particular are "A People's History of the United States" and my all time favorite, "The Culture of Make Believe" by Derrick Jensen. It's a must-read! Other favorites are "Language Older Than Words" also by Derrick Jensen, "Ishmael" and "Celestine Prophecy" I like reading anything that provides scientific insight on the origin of life. I'm currently reading a lot about Astrology and Numerology.

Heroes:

MY MOTHER, for raising seven children (alone) without a chance in hell for being able to do it right but was able to pull it off with the only thing she had to give...LOVE. JESUS CHRIST, for having lived enough lifetimes to become King of Kings, for being the only man who truly loved me, for reaching the highest level of love and spirituality...tapping into and showing us a power that we all are capable of experiencing if we open ourselves up to it. MALCOLM X for not wavering in his belief, and for being willing to open his eyes to TRUTH in spite of the fact that the truth conflicted with much of what he had been taught. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, Jr., for being a brilliant and charismatic orator with the power to open hearts, and for having the strength to continue to fight injustice with love and peace instead of hate and violence no matter how treacherous that fight became. THE LITTLE OLD LADY from my neighborhood catholic church who used to bring us left over breads and pastries once a month when we were starving, with nothing at all to eat... I wish I knew her name. ALL MY GRADE SCHOOL TEACHERS who hugged me when I cried and reassured me that everything would be all right. ANYONE striving to reach a spiritual level of love, leaving behind all their selfish motives...those who strive to love for the sake of love instead of for what they stand to gain from it.
