it's a new road, i follow where my mind goes

About Me

I work for a Real Estate Development, Acquisition and General Contracting Firm. I'm pretty content with what I do, and well it pays the bills. lol I've learned a great deal about the industry and continue to learn new things all the time.I love hanging out with my friends and family. I enjoy movies, poetry, lounges, books, music and I absolutely love going to concerts!!! Nothing beats the feeling you get when you're listening to one of your favorite bands, and you're standing around in a sea of people that appreciate good music as much as you do!favorite quotes: "Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream."“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”"You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.”"But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.” ..

My Interests

I've gotten back into working out, it helps clear the mind and keeps me focused on things I need to accomplish, hanging out with friends, going out for drinks.. cutting up a rug on the dance floor =D.. hitting lounges and making the most out of life, you only get one; you have to make it count!!
