I laugh a whole lot more than the pictures depict, it actually is one of the first thing people notice about me. Then again my first name means "I have cause to be happy". I've been told I am an optimistic realist with a hint of pessimism (how is that possible, you tell me).

"We as human beings tend to place too many rules on happiness. But happiness and rules do not technically go hand in hand. As long as you are not breaking the law or doing something morally unethical, let loose of those rules that bound your happiness and you might be surprised on how different your definition of happiness really is. Also remember what makes you happy today might not make you happy tomorrow."

Hobbies:
1)running (2 marathons so far and a bunch of regular yearly races),
2)programming (I am one with my geekiness, I do it for work too),
3)skydiving, and other door adrenaline pumping activities,
4)dancing (I love dancing).

Music:
I pretty much listen to everything, I am one of those people who can not be close minded about music. I believe there is a song/ genre for every mood you find yourself in.
1) I love rock music (Atreyu, Disturbed, Slipknot, and Linkin Park)
2) I love hiphop and rnb(snoop, dmx, drake, r kelly, Neo etc)
3) I love spanish music (Aventura, Antony Santos, Eddy Herrra etc)
4) I have a few indian/ chinese and Japanese music (Anu Malik, Despina Vand,
Jane Zhang, Tara Fuki etc).
5) On the techno side currently enjoying the anjuna beats (Europeans make the
best techno).
6) I love Jazz and other forms of contemporary music.

Details:
I work as a Software Engineer by day, while working on my umpteenth master's degree (I hate being bored, and I love controlled studying). I am a fun loving guy, who is always up for the next challenge. I love to run, go skydiving, dance, and workout etc. I enjoy being around friends and people. Within the first hour everyone gets to know me for my unique sense of humor, my continuous smile and perspectives/ views. I love all types of music and I listen to music based on my mood.
I love going to rock concerts, just because the raw emotion on display makes it worth every penny (LOL I am a Mosher for life).

What I am looking for:
1)First off I am not looking for a man-bashing woman, or someone who always looks at the negatives in previous relationships (please make note of the positives and learn from the negatives).
2)I am not looking for a woman with inferiority complex (you do not always have to mention that you are independent etc let your actions show it, I have a mom and 2 sisters who are truly independent women), besides realize that dating someone or being in a relationship does mean some form of co-dependency emotionally or otherwise.
3)I am not looking for someone who always has to be right (accept when you are wrong), its not always about who is wrong and who is right.
4)I am not looking for someone who is always jealous, as I am not a jealous person and I don't cheat.

Now what I am looking for:
1)I am looking for a friend, an activity partner, an equal, someone looking forward to a long term relationship and is willing to see where it takes us.
2)I am looking for someone who likes being around me, is willing to live a little, enjoy life and what it has to offer (but yet remains goal oriented).
