Michael Angelo Hernandez

"YES, that's my name!..Michael Angelo"

"I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

Ah, H.D. Thoreau. Isn't that awesome?!

I guess everybody would say that I'm a loving, loveable, confident, silly-crazy funny sort of guy. As much as I am a man and have of me my manly things, I do have a very kind nature with an impressive compassion for life and everything in it. I am also blessed with, what I call, advanced thinking skills. I'm a pretty straight forward guy. Hate drama, hate lies, hate to have to hate. If only people would just be upright and honest. Oh well. C'est La Vie. I have a saying, "Truth over pain." I would rather say the truth or hear it than do that dance on and about lies because there is no courage to do otherwise. Yeah, I dance.

I'm an intellectual thinker and love intellectual conversation as much as simple conversation. I am romantic as much as I am a clown. I love getting a laugh and giving laugh. Its very healthy. I am a cook, artist, writer, guitarist, poet, pet lover, rom-com having Man ninja all wrapped into one. That's me, Leo Ninja. Pisces too so I have a balance about me. Sun and moon, gold and silver, fire and water (thats why I was born to teach). Music music music. When the world is at its best and worst, music tells it so. LOVE to sing also. My voice is my true instrument. I'm a puzzle junkie. Love mental stimulus. With me, it would be advised to not mistake confidence for arrogance. I am not THAT kind of Leo. I can talk about anything and everything. I don't make assumption or judge, get jealous or embarrassed.

That's right, I said I don't get jealous. I don't act on it or let it get to me. I'm a pretty secure individual. I know who and what I am and I know what I have to offer and if you need to find more than me elsewhere then so be it. I'm not for you. If you build jealousy for drama for attention then you are definately not for me. Games are for the immature and insecure. I say this because I am mentally stable and haven't any insecurities. I know some might think that I am saying what is want to hear but that's too bad you think this way. I'm a grown man, and like I said, I know who and what I am, who and what I want, and I don't play those kind of games. Fun, consentual games..well that's another story (wink). Also, a heads up. I am not a wuss bag. I have high self value. I don't feel the need to give constant praise or admiration to gain the attention or affection from the Ladies. I know my social status. I do give attention and praise and affection but, like many things in this world, it is earned and not given away. Men nowadays just give themselves away expecting a phone number or more intimate connections...it terrible. There isn't any balance.

I changed careers from the Chief Graphic Designer and Marketing Director for an established architectural firm to a Teacher of Multiedia Technology and Advanced Audio Video Production for the local school district. I really enjoy teaching and all my kids. To give them the opportunity, skills, self confidence, and encouragement that I didn't have at their age is fulfilling beyond words.

I do like going out, singing karaoke, dancing and having a good time. I also love staying home, cooking a wonderful meal and snuggles on the couch with a good movie( I'm a leo kitty, LOVE snuggles). I'm not affraid of PDA and not affraid to be a clown either. I'm looking for the woman who can handle this as well as herself even when either of us hit that 'alone time' once in a while. But, no babysitting. I don't give it nor do I expect it. Its all a dance, either you find someone you can be happy moving with through life or you step on each others toes too offen and its time to change partners. So, I'm looking for good company and better conversation. Chemistry is very important but so is being a best friend with it. Substance is so hard to find in people but, I try no matter what. It's what I do.
