*************If this don't make yo' booty move, yo' booty must be dead!!! So anyway...get up, get down, get in, or get out, but no matter what, keep dancing! Holla atcha boy!******************************************************** ** About me…I’m a physical therapist, emcee, dancer, bartender, and I absolutely love what I do. I work hard and play harder, traveling as much as I possibly can, thanks primarily to my cousin Rich aka Richy Rich, aka Rico, aka Reeshard, aka Cuz, aka Arenas, aka daag, aka butternuts/butterstuff/buttercup. In 2007 I went to Puerto Rico twice, Florida twice, Las Vegas, Grand Rapids, Kentucky, Costa Rica, and Cancun. Costa Rica was one of the best vacations I’ve ever taken and I got to share it with my cuz Richy Rich. If there’s a trip, we’re either planning it, or the first to commit to it. I’ve got an incredible family that I love spending time with. My parents are amazing people and I can’t imagine life without them. My parents started with nothing and successfully raised four boys on a very low income…they are the “American dream”. My brothers Jaime, Edgar aka Eddie, and Johnny are hilarious and fun as hell to be around. My little brother Edgar is now a professional soccer player for Chicago Storm and I will do everything I can to support him. My friends and his will/should do the same. I have two nephews and a niece, thanks to my older brother, who I love and rarely get to see because I’m a workaholic…poor excuse I know, but I haven’t found what I’m looking for in order to change that. I do, however, LOVE kids and nothing makes me happier than having my Godson/nephew Ryan aka Ryno fall asleep in my arms or watch him laugh. I treat others as I would like to be treated, so I think I can be a pretty damn good friend and person. I can’t stand being taken for granted by anyone, and those who do are quickly dismissed from my life. I give a lot and expect a lot from people. This being said, is probably the reason why I’ve been single for the last two years. I’m goofy, sarcastic, emotional, funny, stubborn, hard-working, passionate, athletic, temperamental, judgmental, romantic, demanding, a flirt, nosey, dedicated, optimistic, loving, sensitive, confident and insecure, intelligent, sometimes an asshole, but always genuine. Figured I’d give you the good and the bad…if you don’t like it, you know what you can do. I wear my heart on my sleeve, believe TRUST is EARNED not just given, and that you have to GIVE respect to GET respect. A lot of times I rely on my gut to make decisions and I'm rarely wrong. I can’t stand ignorance, lack of ambition, liars, and people that choose to put themselves in a lower class. I love my life and live it to the fullest, giving 110% at every turn. I also love "FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOOD!" I eat pretty much every type of food there is out there except raw onion and cilantro. I do however welcome new experiences. I am always up for good conversation, but won’t randomly add you as a “friend” if I don’t know you. Anything else you want to know, ask me. I’ll end with some of my favorite quotes… ********************************************************** Man made the money, money never made the man. ********************************************************** What we do in life, echoes in eternity. ********************************************************** Eventus stultorum magister. (For fools, experience is the only teacher.) *********************************************************** The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to love, and be loved in return. *********************************************************** Never make someone your priority while allowing yourself to be their option. *********************************************************** The Star and Crescent shall not be worn by every man, but only by him who is worthy to wear it. He must be a gentleman ... a man of honor and courage ... a man of zeal, yet humble ... an intelligent man ... a man of truth ... one who tempers action with wisdom and, above all else, one who walks in the light of God. ~Kappa Sigma Xi-Xi Delta Class~ ************************************************************ * In the end…it's not the amount of years in your life, but the amount of life in your years that will matter. ************************************************************ Me? I'm dishonest, and you can always trust for a dishonest person to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you have to look out for because you never know when they're going to do something incredibly stupid. ************************************************************ * Baby girl, I ain't got a motor boat, but I can float your boat. ************************************************************ * "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." ***********************************************************
