I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Still here, staying for a while I think. Starting my own Lighting company while working for 2 others...we'll see how that goes. I'd like to continue this thing of really living & enjoying life that I started this year.
I'm bright, strong, but super sensitive. loyal. honest. I would like to say elegant. clean. friendly. constantly frustrated with my wardrobe. my favorite color is yellow. I like anything cooked on a grill. I have a reputation for making amazing Margaritas. I don't like to miss out on things. I am never the first one to leave. I work really hard. I do not function well before noon, even with plenty of sleep. I don't add people I haven't chatted with a while or actually know... ..

My Interests

meeting people. being brutally honest. giving my opinion. eating good food. having a good beer with a friend at a place that feels strangely like home. learning from people and experiences. beautiful things like buildings, art, food, plants, clothes, people, books, cars, paper, furniture. Finding beauty everywhere to the point of explosion at over-stimulation. Looking for the good in the weirdest people. Taking trips everywhere and anywhere. I love the road. In cars or on planes or trains.

I'd like to meet:

friends. smart. honest. funny. reasonably well dressed. there are never too many real friends.

Some people say you get what you deserve, but I am of another opinion altogether. I think bad things happen with no regard for what you have or have not done. All the talk of karma seems sweet, but th...
