Well for starters i enjoy exercise, as i am a diabetic of 17 years, eating healthy and exercise is crucial in my life. I enjoy playing on the computer sometimes, but fresh air is a lot better for me. I enjoy hiking, roller blading, walking, and i especially enjoy sports of any genre.

My goal is by the time i am 30 to own my own restaurant; i have no college education at this point in my life, but i am working for that as i speak to you today. I want two kids if possible and to just be happy with overall life itself.

Well i am Italian/Cuban/Irish I love to cook anything, even if its new to me, my palates are exquisite. I guess what makes me unique is the fact that i tell it like it is, people these days sugar coat so much stuff they begin to believe it hens forth people believe lies before the truth nowadays. I am unique because i am a quick learner as well; I am a fantastic speaker of motivational proportions. I have had a lot of people come to me seeking knowledge of various types. My open minded characteristics make me a superb listener, and a great person to get along with.

My taste in Music ranges, although im not keen on Country so much i can stand it if need be; i prefer, classic rock ( led zeppelin, black sabbath, pink Floyd, the eagles, Steve miller band etc..)

Another thing is i Enjoy expression my emotions in making a poem. Here is one Poem that has won me 1500 dollars in a poetry contest when i was 20.

its called Pain

This pain inside i cannot hide
after all this time whats left inside?
the pain the pleasure whats the difference?
when this pain hits you its so submissive.
seek out the glory in the shadow of light.
i pray to the lord please help me fight.
i battle with myself day in and day out.
that one day she'll be back without a doubt.
thats only a wish i continue to heed.
this pain without pleasure is not what i need.
so take my words lord and hear me out.
i stand tall in your shadow, even when in doubt.
this pain forsake me and make me strong.
without you by my side; its like im gone!
PLEASE LORD ANSWER! why does it have to be this way?
with all this pain still locked away.
please, give me the strength to pick myself up.
i shall walk in your footsteps with wings from above.
pain... is it really a joke?
with my hallowed out heart, and my words still unspoken.

Well, for those of you that looked at my profile and wrote me i thank you! for those that have and didnt, It may be a good guy your letting slip past you. Dont be judgemental and live your life to the fullest, besides you only live once right? why not take a chance.

On a first date, it would be me that suggests perhaps what we would do throughout the course of the night. I would ask what your taste in Food is, what you find exciting and try my best to make that idea come to life. I would take you to my place and make a home cooked meal of your choice, because my range in cooking abilities is none other surpassed by my inquisitive imagination. I like to be outside so i would most likely take you hiking or kayaking, fishing, boating, jet skiing, or maybe even pairs sailing! this would only be the start of the evening as well. In between all of this i would most definitely throw in some of my sparratic humor and indulge everyone around us as i made you laugh. I would then play some sultry easy listening music to sooth our souls (come on berry help me out on this one!). I would end the night in most likely a long eventful conversation; talking about anything and everything on our minds at that point in time. I am not shy when it comes to asking questions but there are certain rules you must obide when getting to know someone for the first time.
