**Update:First of all,you will see my hair color in the photos(taken in March 2009)is reddish brown and short...I have changed the color to Blonde (for now!!) as listed above under "haircolor", plus it is alot longer now.And in the one Blonde photo,taken 9/2009,I had just gotten splashed by Shamu at SeaWorld,and my hair is wet,which is not indicative of it at it's best! (:**

I am a very friendly,outgoing person who is also very honest and I expect the same honesty from others. I won't tolerate being lied to...
as the saying goes,I have definitely "been there,done that!"

To me,Honesty, is necessary in all relationships..simply put it means someone you can trust with your heart.Your heart,you know,needs trust-----Trust=Honesty, Honesty=Trust..a very good concept by which to live,don't you agree?

I am also non-judgemental and do not and have never,seen "in colors"..race has no place in my life..we are all humans and all are created equal.

I have never met a stranger--everyone is met as a friend until they are proven to be otherwise. I can talk to anyone about anything and I seem to have the ability to put people at ease in most situations.Most people say they feel as if they have known me for years.

Above,where it asks what I am looking for, I can only pick one option..
I chose Long-Term,but I am open to whatever may or could develop...talk/e-mail, dating,friends,etc.

I am non-confrontational--I will not argue. Should someone's opinion differ greatly from mine,and if being quiet and saying nothing indicates I agree with what they are saying,I will then disagee and state my opinion,and leave it at that. I know this annoys some people who would rather continue their debate,but that is just how I am and how I deal with those types of situations.I then move on,with the issue no longer an issue and no harsh words having been spoken.

I love music(R&B,Jazz, and Old School mostly) and dancing~~and Sharp-Dressed Men! I love all animals,rather they are wild or family pets. At this moment (first time in my life!) I have no pets so must content myself with the wildlife outside my window--bunnies,birds,squirrels,I love them all...oh--and I also love Pro Football,and my New York Giants!

I live now in Southern California,but have lived on the East Coast my entire life until 2003,when I moved to San Diego. I lived in Rhode Island, and in Northern Virginia,just outside of Washington,DC .

I would like to meet someone who shares some of the same interests
as I,and...most importantly....a man who is honest~~and not a "player" of hearts.

**Here are some thoughts that really touch me..I hope they touch you,also**

~TRUTHS LEARNED IN LIFE~

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person
that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and
it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so
remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You'll fight with your best friend.

You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You'll cry because time is passing too fast,and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures,use your best china now,laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt...

Because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

Go out to dinner,followed by an evening spent in a small,intimate setting,listening to live music,some dancing, and getting-to-know-you talk.If we are lucky,we will maybe feel that spark of chemistry that could--hopefully--become a flame.
