Music
Depends on my mood, but very seldom any rap and virtually NEVER ever any heavy metal (that just hurts the head, let alone the ears). I guess my favorite would be trance, ambient, popular dance remix. But I love a good classical ballad, folk song, celtic rock bit, jazz an much in between. Like I said... depends on the mood. This
one's pretty cool...

JUST FOR LAUGHS!!
The Boy, the Girl & the Pharmicist.
A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl tells him that after dinner, she would like to have sex with him for the first time.
The boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacy to get some condoms. The pharmacist helps the boy for about half an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex. At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he'd like to buy a 3-pack, 10-pack or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all.
That night, the boy shows up at the girls parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh, I'm so excited for you to meet my parents! Come on in!"
The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down 10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy. Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, "I had no idea you were this religious."
The boy turns, and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist!"

"FOR THE SOUL"
A Poem...
"WINTER POEM"
by Dan Danila
Let us write a love poem on the latest snow,
before the wind carries our words,
our breath to the northernmost lands.
Let us remove, just a bit, the cover of the field
so as to spy under the roots of the old oak tree
the rabbit's dream, as he is reliving
his fastest homerun, which left the fox
without her meal again –
In his sleep, the rabbit's paws
move quickly underground, in a world that
smells fresh of the month of May
and of green fields strewn by a billion daisies.
Far away, a barking dog – another dream maybe,
and a tune about some Marion or Mary Ann.
Suddenly a rifle goes off over the forest,
over its gentle breezes and crows.
Soon
the gray fog will cover our path.
We must return, Love, but mind your step –
Keep off the poem's last line...

People always ask me about my name. It's Filipino and it's pronounced "Rol-don" with the emphasis on the second syllable. Better I say that now just for clarification purposes. =)
I'm an outgoing adventurist by nature. Filipino mother and Caucasian-American father. Grew up in the states as a military brat (but definitely not the spoiled kind) and moved around a lot as a child, which I think lends to my sense of adventure.
I love meeting new and genuinely interesting people who are interested in hanging out, laughing, learning and experiencing life with no hidden agenda. But I'm equally comfortable at this stage in my life of taking in a good movie by myself, taking a walk in the woods, or finding a nice quiet place to read or contemplate about my place in life.

Some of my special interests...
THE STATE OF THE WORLD IS SHIFTING. ARE YOU?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE MESSAGE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"YES WE CAN"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Roldan, You are The Star
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised.
The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.
WHAT IS COUCHSURFING.COM?!
The Big Picture: "CouchSurfing is not about the furniture, not just about finding free accommodations around the world; it's about making connections worldwide. We make the world a better place by opening our homes, our hearts, and our lives. We open our minds and welcome the knowledge that cultural exchange makes available. We create deep and meaningful connections that cross oceans, continents and cultures. CouchSurfing wants to change not only the way we travel, but how we relate to the world!"
This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
Who I'd like to meet:
Before we get too far into that, just a little side note for some... Not to be rude, but I don't approve random friend requests automatically. That's why I require one to know a little personal information about me before you can request an add.
Now, that being said, I'm still interested in meeting like-minded, fun and sincere people for friendships and mutual exchange. So, if you like my profile, pics, comments, blogs, whatever... then send me a personal message with something of an introduction of yourself. Once the chatting has been established and the connection clear, the add comes effortlessly and easily. If that makes sense to you and you agree, then read on...
People interested in laughing, loving, eating, drinking, laughing, sharing, caring, laughing, crying and just plain living!! Fellow journey seekers who are not afraid of looking introspectively for happiness and fulfillment BEFORE trying to find it "out there" in something or someone else....
Those who are just as comfortable enjoying the company of one's self in a quiet coffee house just as much as he/she enjoys the occasional evening out dining or dancing for the purpose of sharing laughs with good friends, old and new, which is the "stuff" of life. Good, trustworthy, solid, honest friendship without the drama of unrealistic expectations.
So, if you are seeking a hiking or biking partner, a sixth person to help fill out a rafting trip, interested sharing thoughts about the plight of the Choctawhatchee beach mouse, discuss the theocratic right-wing radicals' fear over equal opportunity obtainability over a cup of hot java, or just like hanging out and sharing a few laughs, then drop me a line!
