All that life has to offer me, anything that can affect me in a positive and educational sense! The crazes and pastimes of 'Wee-Man' are by far the gym, and anything physical that gets my heart rate up. SUMMERTIME!!! ANYTHING in the water!!! The BEACH!! Running, riding bikes, drinking cans of PBR and throwing horseshoes on the beach on a saturday afternoon is damn good! Shit, forgot to mention of course ANYTHING with my chocolate lab Kona!
Music
Country! Yeah, I like it all though. Oh yeah, the full-on speed metal and extra heavy duty gangsta rap don't really appeal to me. Yeah, not so much. Got quite the mix on the ipod.. Pepper, Slightly Stoopid, Creed, Jack Johnson, Led Zeppelin, Blues Traveler, Reggae, some 80's crap, Al Green, ANY old blues music! Sade, Maxwell, ALL Frank Sinatra, Big Band, David Grey, David Wilcox, this amazing Indian Flute CD I burned, it's meditation all the way. The Clash, Filter, Rage against the Machine, lots of Big-Hair bands music,
Movies
Absolutely REVEL in a great movie, especially the ones that light a fire under your ass or really get you to step back and think for a second... so many to list that I'd probably miss some good ones. I'd have to say my top five would look like: Braveheart, Rocky, Castaway, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Boondock Saints. All the rest but none the less: A Beautiful Mind, Mississippi Burning, Shawshank Redemption, Back To The Future, Gladiator, Enter The Dragon, The Crow, Ong-Bak, Most of the Animated flicks(what can I say, they're completely hilarious!), Scarface, Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan, Ray, La Bamba, The Notebook, Old School, Most of Clint Eastwood's old westerns, Unforgiven, School of Rock, Ice Age, Urban Cowboy
Television
I'll have to get to this one of these days...
Books
Crap mostly, I have a terrible case of speed reading and scanning to get to the point...
Heroes
My father in all ways. How he managed to raise the six kids and treat my mother like how a woman is supposed to be taken care of, with what little he had is truly one of the most amazing things I've seen yet. And it wasn't that he "just got us through", he made it so real and good that it's made me who I am today. By FAR.
A work in progress, always. I live each day to find my next adventure. My days weren't meant to be spent frivolously chasing the next 'goal' or 'achievement', but just as much I'll never become if i DON'T meet my goals. My days are here for me to learn and understand what is really good and fruitful. Extremely difficult at times. Unbelievably simple and easy to compensate. Insanely competetive, I want to be the best at everything. Classic overachiever. Consumate perfectionist. A dreamer, yet a black and white pragmatic. Second of six. More intuitive than most. My ability to size up folks quick, with a judge of character that is usually right on is a favorite strength. LOYAL to a fault. I have good hair. I dig great hair and nails on a gal. Bombay Sappire is a drug for me. Cold weather is not an option for me. Concession won't happen with me. Always changing. HOLD up, let's see, as of today, I've thought of a whole bunch more.. flip flops are really the ONLY pair of shoes you need. yes I'm a hog when it comes to junk food. Which is why I inhale it at nights when nobody is watching. I'm wicked sharp at ping pong. And yes it's truly ping pong, not "beer pong" which is for rubbery kids still in college or under 24. Horseshoes on the beach!!!! It is truly a favorite, to be honest I could kill my saturday afternoons for 2 years straight doing just that. As long as it's sunny and warm. And surrounded by good friends. Ugh, ig, yes I'm a caveman at times.. rugged and not giving two shits about what the hell my hair looks like or if I stink like old laundry. But damn if I'll go without brushing my choppers. Damn how hard IS it these days to brush and floss every now and then anyhow?? And what about tattooed on makeup?? WTF?????? the last thing I'd want to see in the morning is the girl I'm with looking like she's ready to hit the bars.. YIKES!! And not that I'm condoning random hook-ups, because I don't by all means. And I don't indulge. In fact there is nothing good that comes out of them. The best sex comes from a complete trust of the partner. And of course a big fat dose of intense physical attraction. Mental chemistry is just as non-negotiable. What else? hmmmm... a rolling stone mostly, I'm still looking to put down roots. And could do so easily, just haven't found the right place. I've lived within a few blocks from the beach my whole life, and it'll be that way. Been from one coast to the other, and halfway around the world and back twice, but still there's more out there. Could I be lucky enough in this lifetime to find a partner in crime? Yet TBD. Maybe my life's lesson is more than just a simple, every day American lifestyle. We change by not changing.. the world spins, time passes, people die, live, hate, love and here we still stand. It's never enough, always too much. I'm a complete dichotomy, enigmatic even to my own self. Why is life so cruel, yet utterly amazing and simple and beautiful 1 micro second later?? Maybe it's the fact that it's ALWAYS beautiful, perfectly constructed with each opportunity and chance to guide us to where we need to be. And yep, I sure have been to my background image, just google Seychelles.
Who I'd like to meet: People that influence me to think outside of the box. And that right there says enough, damnit! Negativity or close mindedness doesn't have a place within myself, or those closest to me. I KNOW there is a guiding force governing the way this world moves, and what is in store for each person. Any person that is open to exploring concepts and ideas that allow us to draw closer to gaining that higher level of knowledge or insight, which in turn shapes our lives into what we really want them to be, is who I want to meet!
