About Me


Myspace Chinese AstrologySomething everyone should know about me is I am very straightforward and always honest, sometimes brutally honest. I am 21 years old, dark brown hair, brown eyes, 6’2" 245 lbs. I am currently living in Edgewood New Mexico. I am a Master Mason, and practicing artist. I also enjoy designing and building pre-era weaponry and armor (gauntlets, swords, flails, shields, etc.) I will begin attending college at UNM School of architecture and planning, in fall of 2007. My focus will be architecture and design. Some people may see me as a quiet individual; my friends get to see my other (intellectual) side. I have a strong sense of honor, duty & commitment, and as far as friends go I don't take friendship lightly, true friends are for a lifetime and are literally worth my life! I have a serious appreciation for all types of art and absolutely love music (I don’t think I could live without it). I am not rich or wealthy but enjoy nice things, I love to look nice and I am very particular about how I dress and about being clean. I try to save my money whenever I get the chance but if there is something I want to do (or do for someone) and I have the money than I indulge myself and do it. ..

My Interests

First and foremost I am interested in meeting the love of my life. After that movies and some TV series, anime, anything artistic and music. I love to design and draw (although I don’t do it as often as I should), I like to create things mostly pre-era weaponry and armor (check out the slide show). My cousins and I also have a knack for blowing things up like coconuts, pumpkins, tennis balls, and such (nothing violent we just like seeing things go boom and stuff like pumpkin chunks going every where) LOL. I would also love to go sky diving, hang gliding, and para sailing. I want to get my pilot & helicopter license (privet and commercial). Its funny I hate heights (being on ladders, roofs, putting up signs on high places) but I love being in the air weird huh? I am also trying to get my act together on being healthy, eating right and exercising daily. I love to play hackysack I think it is very close to being it’s own martial art. I love thunderstorms and sunsets; I like to think of the sky as being God’s canvas where he has an ever-changing masterpiece of a mural. I also enjoy being where I can take the most advantage of seeing those masterpieces (I’m always looking for new places to view them). If this is not enough to keep you occupied then just ask about something and I will answer.

I'd like to meet:

Truth be told, I am on here to meet someone special. I have never been in a relationship for several different reasons, first and mostly I am shy. There is really no other way to put it, I don’t know how to initiate a conversation, I get very nervous and clam up and don’t know how to speak correctly. I’m always afraid that I might offend someone and would hate for anyone to think ill of me in any way. Ok that was the first reason. Second, I’m afraid to get hurt emotionally; I know it’s hard to believe that there are guys who can actually acknowledge their emotions but I am one. I hate the idea or thought that I might wake up one day after thinking I found the woman of my dreams and poof she’s gone. I am not interested whatsoever in one night stands and can’t even stand the idea of them. So what I'm looking for in who I'd like to meet, anyone with an appreciation for art and artistic talent, who is interested in an active lifestyle and healthy living, someone who can offset my negatives with her positives and vice-versa. I would like her to be emotionally strong and assertive. She would be independent and capable of making her own decisions but would not get angry if I would like to discuss them. Someone that has dreams and goals of her own and is career minded. I don’t really have any physical preferences but here is a list of things that just drive me crazy ;) I love straight naturally black hair, eyes that I can gaze into and get lost in, my favorite color eyes are green, hazel and blue gray, someone who is athletic and motivated, And last but not least in any way a woman that is not afraid to fire a gun (there's nothing hotter than a woman with a gun!).
