MySpace a place for friends

What a difficult person to describe. It is hard. A person cannot ever be put into a box, and defined. How can you do this? Defitions are limitations. Boxes are prisons. I'm fond of neither.

I love to experience different things and build memories. Lazy evenings under the stars. Crazy nights on some bar. Long hours driving across the country roads. Diving into the beach. Pina Coladas and coffee.

I am single and bilingual. I've lived in New York City, Orlando, Florida, and Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. I received an MFA in Creative Writing in Poetry, after completing a two BA degrees in English Literature and Writing and in Teaching. After briefly moving back to Puerto Rico, I finished a BA in Biology at El Colegio de Mayaguez. As you can tell, I love to study. I'm also very lucky to have been born with an incredibly high IQ, but this is not everything I am. Those who know me soon realize I love to party, to hit the beach, to talk, and to try new things. I love making close friends, and love exploring the world. Most of what I see or hear ends up in my poems or one of my books. While we're hitting that vein, my first book: The Captain, is out. I also enjoy a lot of caramel coffee at cafes, worked at Barnes and Noble Booksellers, taught pre-K at a Montessori school, and hiked the Swiss Alps. Yep. I am still single, but this is not by choice. Love has just not happened for me. Yes, I've met a few wonderful guys, but they've all passed me by. Know what I mean? I hope one day The One slows down and notices me, and that love can stay in my life.

Currently, I am a medicine student in Leicester, England. This is my last degree, I promise.

Sometimes, getting to know a person takes time. I say this, because I know that, upon first glance, some people may think I am either crazy or just too goofy and silly to be taken seriously. I also fall in love deeply, a fact some people can't seem to understand. To me, emotions aren't a joke. I try very hard to make friends, and give people a lot of opportunities to get to know me, despite criticism, and to like me. I think people are incredibly complex, and they need a dozen opportunities to truly be understood, and loved. This is why I am willing to talk and work with people and expect the same from them. You see, because I've been so many places and have done so many things, I can feel like an outsider or "born out of my time," and some people may see me as a "snob", but once people take the time to really know me, they find a person who is a true friend and very, very loving, humble and loyal. I also never compromise my ideals and opinions. If what I have to say, or the way I am does not please others, we can talk and I can listen. But, I'll never "go with the flow" just to be cool. If you are being injust or uncaring, I'll be the first to tell you. I'm a free person, and I feel very free to be myself and live my life the way I do, because I know I am, ultimately, a good person.

On with the show...

Music is my life. Rock music. But, I listen to all kinds of music. I love to travel, and am addicted to driving for long hours. I've been lucky enough to travel all over Europe. Traveling to distant, wonderful places is a dream to me, and I hope to be able to visit Russia and Cairo one day. I like to read, and one of my favourite subjects is World War II and the Holocaust. You find me a book about the Holocaust, and I'm your man. I also love books dealing with growing up, family issues, and sadness. I adore movies and certain celebrities (whom I immitate way too much!). I love reading up on their lives, and learning about them, and I love talking about music, bands, and films and about how we can better society.

My Pets...

I own a wonderfully silly Terrier named Tobias Vincent. He loves to sleep in my bed, and wants to be with me no matter what I am doing. He follows commands quite well, and howls. He jumps and wags his tail a mile a second, and takes care of his kitty friends. Just look at how wonderful he is, my Tobey!

As a Person...

I suppose I'm a cameleon, a collector of personalities and ways of being, but I manage to stay constant, inside, in the kind of person I am. I love to make friends, to hang out, to visit nature and forests, to build dreams, and learning new languages. On my way to being a Pediatrician, I just finished Pre-Med studies and graduated with honours. I will start Medicine School in the Fall in Leicester, England.

I love the beach. Born on an island, I suppose one can't help but love the beach. But, I truly love the sea. The beach, surfing, fishing, boats, sea turtles. To me, a wonderful day could very well be a long, wonderful day at the beach, cruising on a boat by the ocean blue, snorkling, and diving among the waves. This beach is in my homeland.

Oh, the People You'll Love...
Granted this list could go on forever and ever, but let me share with you a few of the faces I admire, and love, either from films, music, or the world.

Gene Wilder, Comedian: Hilarious, Wacky, Sweet

Steven Tyler: Singer, wild and adventurous

Adrien Brody: Actor, vibrant, dramatic, funky

Tobey Maguire: Actor, heart-felt, silly, charismatic

Johnny Depp: Actor, funky-man, unique

Robin Williams: funny, humane, emotional

I like a man to have a wild, crazy side -- but isn't irresponsible and un-commited. I want someone who is fun, silly, professional, and happy. Who smokes, even if I know smoking is not good for our lungs. I want a man who can show his vulnerable side. Someone who can relax in a club, and talk. You see, this is what I love most in a man, his ability to talk, to tell me how he feels, or how he sees the world, to show me what he's learned in his studies or his opinion about what he read in an article; someone who expresses what he feels about a song or a movie, or just the faint sound of the sea against the shore. And is willing to listen to me, in turn.

For the record, I've met this man, but, as I've said: Love hasn't happened for me. He chose not to fall in love in return, and I respect that, as much as it hurts. It is an honour to be his friend, as it may.

I suppose I'll keep hoping love will find me. No, I'm not looking for Mr. Perfect. That kind of man is a dream.

All I can say is: Get to know me. To really know me. We can work from there.
