Albany's Local Dating Service

I always suck at writing these things. There are so many qualities about myself that I can't put into words, or choose not to. I find that getting to know a person comes through communication, through talk and looks and body movements. I'm fascinated by personal interactions, although I also tend to be fairly shy when first getting to know a person. If you're one of the "lucky" few, you will get to hear me ramble more times than you probably care for...

But seriously, I love theology, but I don't practice a religion. The beliefs I have were acquired through experience and from witnessing life firsthand. I love both listening to and playing music - I have a fairly eclectic taste in music and I can play several musical instruments. I even use to sing, although I haven't sung publicly in several years.

I like to read, although I don't really have a preference in literature...basically, anything that reads well can hold my attention. I love the poetry of Pablo Neruda, particularly his love poetry. There's something so raw and honest about it. I actually use to write a lot more than I do now, although my poetry tends to be dark...oftentimes darker than the moods that inspire it.

Overall, I love life. I believe in the beauty of the world. I use to go camping with my family, and I love hiking or walking somewhere that is nature centered. I find thunderstorms relaxing, enjoy running around in the rain, have watched several meteor showers in my lifetime. I have slept outdoors by a campfire, stayed up all night roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. I enjoy experiencing the world barefoot...there's nothing like feeling the textures of the world beneath my feet.

I have too many qualities to list on a website, things that are more easily expressed through personal interactions. Oftentimes, people recognize qualities about me before I do...and being able to learn something about yourself through other people is one of the most beautiful experiences in the world.

I identify as queer, not bisexual... i don't love the idea of binaries

I don't think a person can be summarized quite so simply as these boxes would want me to believe.

I like listening to music, doing art, and tattoos. I tend to spend a lot of time outdoors when its warm out and have an interest in identifying wild edibles and herbs.

I like being the person that people go to. Which is probably why I'm in nursing school.

I love surprises, good ones. And daisies. Which contradicts my thinking cut flowers are silly.

I love working with and being around children. I'm a pretty good communicator, I get pretty frustrated with people who aren't and I think honesty is more important then most things. I tend to tease those I'm friends with.

I have, by choice, lived in abandoned buildings, hitchhiked across the country a few times and gotten arrested in a train yard. For the last 5 years I've been living in Albany, chances are in June I'll be moving to Brooklyn.

Insert deep sigh of exhalation here ______
Hmmm. (I hope this makes sense..)

All that is living and breathing is living and breathing in me and with me. Right here, in my heart. And in yours too. This I do know, for myself, and mostly in my own quiet way. I just want to love, is all. My will to just be pure love in embodiment is all for me and everything else added to that is just a bonus. I have high standards for myself in that way. For me, love has to have discernment and awarness or else it will have nothing of true compassion in it. There has to be a balance struck. I feel that is the purpose of a human being. Or, perhaps just my own purpose for being. So, I love. Yet, I don't necessarily feel much empathy for that which is anti-life. I don't elevate shit sandwiches and I don't celebrate abominations. But I also don't necessarily condemn. I can tell what's what and this from that but I don't dwell much in the shadow of that contention. I feel like we have to experience a sense of separation or seeming duality enough "outside" of ourselves, "out there" in the world... so why let it pollute our mentation ? Sure, some compartmentalizing is necessary in ways, just to hold our sense of our egoic self together. You don't have to let it soil your mind or blacken your heart or dim your perception of life. All whys usually end up being arbitrary but I'm usually not against exploring them for fun and to connect the dots. The role of mind among waves is to sort for what can be shared. When I suspend my own definitions in the midst of my perceptions, I usually find that true knowing can fill that space and I trust that beyond perception. It just makes life more awesome. We are all capable of so much beauty when we are left uncorrupted, to be in our naturalness. To trust ourselves and our experiences. To know that we are enough just as we are. To know that we all come into life bearing gifts. Tremendous gifts. The importance of reflecting that to others about themselves. The importance also of self-reflection and being able to self-reference. To know that sometimes our wounds actually show us the way to our gifts and help us to recognize them for what they truly are. To also know that you are a creation that's already perfect, whole and complete. You have a linear story of you that you are subjectively experiencing but that your'e so much more than just this. And though it may seem to make you at times, for good or for ill, it can never create you and it's neither the core of your being nor your true self. To find yourself minding yourself mining yourself in a dream. To bring things from beyond that dream of a dream and plant their seed here in the world to bear small fruits that whisper reminders and memories of the truth to people who taste them. To witness the world from your own sense of wholeness. How powerful, uplifting, and freeing it can be for others when you are free yourself in their presence and thereby a testament to their own freedom. Dropping guilt, fear, inherited shame. Surrendering any sense of grandiosity so that you can see and embrace your true grandeur and know that it's the real and celebrate it together that this is what we truly share. The idea that we are all worthy of love BECAUSE we actually are love in substantiation. We all forget sometimes. Everything is everything is true... you just gotta savor the flavor. Is all. Part of the fun is remembering. Maybe there is no such thing as: an unimportant person, somebody who is worthless, somebody who doesn't fit or doesn't belong, a sinner... a saint.

im me on aim my s/n is itallwentaway

I love music (pretty much any kind but hardcore and local hardcore are my favorites), I love going to concerts whenever possible espscially @ local venues such as Northern lights. I cant function without music its gotta be playing most all of the time. Its calming to me and I think its a great way for people to kind of "escape" the normal day to day boringness that is life. I enjoy hangin out with friends and spending time up @ my camp near lake george. I work quite a bit.I love to waste a day on the 4 wheeler or bombing through the woods in my truck. I do also just like to get in my car and drive the day away sometimes. Just go for an adventure for the day and get lost. I enjoy working on cars. Quite often I like to take random little road trips wherever, just nice to go and get lost for the day. I enjoy tattoos and the talent that it takes to be a good tattoo artist. tattoos are somewhat of a turn on to me as well. I have a few myself and plan on gettin more. Its not somthing that consumes my life but I do enjoy them and admiring others. Im sure theres other stuff but describing myself isnt the easiest thing for me to do....just ask, its easier when someone asks me a direct question.

i am a 21 year old Italian boy who has had some pretty bad past relationships and here looking for love and someone i can connect with someone who loves me for me and i can be with.

I am a tattoo artist and body piercer who is looking for a woman who doesn't mind a guy who sticks out in a crowd. I seam a bit off the wall, but I am a down to earth guy who has some old fashioned morels. I just started with this site so what ever you want to know about me just ask. I will add more later on.

Well I am a 5'5" with an athletic body and blue eyes. I am mostly a jeans and shirt type of girl. I am a straight forward person and im not scared to tell people what i think. I am very protective over the people i care about. I will do anything for the people i care about. I do have a bit of a temper but I am pretty good at controlling it :)

I am a pretty laid back and down to earth individual. I try to keep my life as drama-free as possible. My friends and family are very important to me, I'm pretty understanding most of the time. I've never been great at describing myself and i don't know what else im supposed to put here....

Well this me I am never sure what to say in these thing. I am type of guy that loves sports an being involved in them. I love run and be fit though sometimes I become lost in goals of training. I believe in honesty and man of my word.

more to come when i figure this out

I'm new to this online date and still getting my stuff together.

In short, I'm looking for a lovely lady both inside and outside..

My name is Megan. I'm 18. I make my birthday wish on February 6th. People say im strange because i like the feeling of getting tattoos. = i have 2 already and plan on getting at least 4 or 5 more. I have the left side of my lip pierced. I say what's on my mind,. I hate fake people, if youâ??re fake don't even bother talking to me. I have trust issues, If you want me to trust you, you have to earn it. I can be kind of vulgar and perverted sometimes =) I can't stand stuck up people who think they are better then everyone else. My family is me life. I would be lost without them. <3

I'm poly, I have a primary partner, and I'm happy to meet new people. If you get to know me, you'll probably end up knowing underwatercolor pretty well, too, as he and I tend to do things together.

I'm a recent graduate of RPI, having majored in Electronic Media, Arts, and Communication (or EMAC for short). I like warmth and the outdoors, and although New England doesn't always supply the combination, it's a wonderful place to live. Growing plants makes me happy.

I have had a shaved head and it's fun and trippy. Being able to feel everything that touches your scalp is amazing. There's also a freckle on top of my head that I hadn't previously known was there. I enjoy having short hair and I love seeing it on other girls. I keep experimenting with length - haven't figured out what I like best, maybe I never will.

I tend to like freckles, curly hair, red hair, blond hair, dark hair, long hair, short hair, fuzzy heads. Usually on the gender that reverses the norm.

I am a very quiet person - I'm often likely to enjoy watching two people converse just as much as I would enjoy talking to one or both of them. If someone's really good at actively involving me in conversation, I'll probably have some neat things to say. I tend to shy away from loud people, but not necessarily talkative people.

It can be hard to get to know me if I'm not entirely comfortable with where I am - if I think you're really awesome I'm likely to hang around and try to give you massages until I can think of something to say besides "Can I give you a massage?"

myspace: rockin_hippie yahoo: zoso1473 aim: zoso1473

OK, I really need to update this profile. First off, my name is Adam. Second, I am an open and honest person. I say what's on my mind. If you want to know more about me, feel free to drop me a line. I am more than happy to talk to people.

I consider myself to be a modern hippie. I am not promiscuous, nor do I engage in other activities (smoking and etc) that most "hippies" do, but I am of the same mindset. I am anti-war, I am entranced with the music and spirit of the 60's and 70's. I am typically a shy persons upon first meeting, but once I hit my comfort zone, like any true gemini, I have trouble shutting up. Music is my passion in life. I almost always have something playing in the background (to the point where it bothers people because I can watch TV and listen to music at the same time).

I am not a fantastic guitar player, but know enough to impress my friends, and some cute girls ;-) Let's face it, that's why most guys learn guitar, for the girls right? I am not Jimi Page, Hendrix, Richie Blackmore, or David Gilmour, but I can play some of their licks, riffs, and songs. I typically play stuff such as Tom Petty, Bob Seger, Bob Dylan, soft, folk rock, some would call it, maybe. But I can also stomp on my distortion and rock out to Godsmack, Metallica, ACDC, and a few others.

People often have a difficult time placing me in my biological age group. I have been told I have an old soul. I have also been told I have a deep soul. Which, I guess, is why people forget my age. I am happy about that. My age is just a number of how old my body is, not a measure of my intelligence, wisdom, soul, or my true age. I may have lived 100 past lives, I do not know. I have a friend who argues with me bitterly, though we still care for each other like brother and sister. We have even discussed the possibility that we have lived past lives as such, or lovers. It is an interesting thing to think about. Age is only a number, meaningless with the exception of indicating how precious time on this planet is.

Just keeping the options open. Would like to meet a fit, down to earth, attractive woman to get to know.

I'd consider myself pretty successful at life so far. I have a great job, am very focused on reaching my goals and every day I get a little closer to achieving everything I dreamed of being when I was a little kid. Pursuing my passion for music, staying in shape, and learning everything I can about rennovating and restoring my 1930's home have pretty much been my after work life for quite some time. I've been really focused on getting ahead in life, and have been working really hard to push myself through any obstacle that came my way.

Then something happened to me on a recent visit downtown that made me take a step back. Have you ever been to that little park behind the Albany museum? I cant remember the name of the place, but its right where the Egg is. There's these big pools of water, gorgeous artwork, and all the trees are trimmed up into geometric shapes - at the right time of day it's like a scene from another world. My unexpected epiphany? Ease up on the throttle a little, and enjoy life! I haven't traveled nearly as much as I've wanted to and there are *so* many new worlds to explore.

Fortunately, I'm in a great place in life and can afford to be a little spontaenous. Last weekend I grabbed a friend and went to Rochester on a whim just to see one of my favorite DJ's. This weekend who knows, although I'll probably keep things low key for a while so I can swing a trip to Italy later this year. Point is, as long as you've got a little adventure in you we're going to have a blast. I'd like to start by taking you out for a great cup of coffee just so we can get to know eachother. If after that, you find me harmless, then the sky really is the limit. Literally - ever go skydiving? I am so ready to meet you at the top of the world, and from there wherever our imagination takes us!

This is so hard... Ugh! I really never have liked this question. I've been alive for twenty-two years. How do I condense that to a paragraph?

I love my family, I love my friends, I love God, I love children, I love theatre. I sing and act all the time - just did a show in Ghent.

I'm not shy, if you're interested - and have a question - ask! Just contact me, ask questions. I'll answer.

I am funny, smart, and happy. I'm 5feet 2inches tall. I have long strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. I'm on the heavy side but working dilligently on that. I have a great sense of humor that leans towards the dark side of things. I like a broad range of things from going out with friends to staying in and making dinner and pretty much everything in between.

My name is Bill and I am a real down to earth kind of guy. I like simple things. I Want to find someone to settle down with. Not looking for anything short term at all.

I'm not that complicated. I have fun just hanging out with my friends, learning how to drive and just chilling at home. I am a little shy but I do like to meet new people and hang out.
My best friends are <<rain_rain>>, and <<Unwritten_Lyric>>.

Retired from the US Marines after 21 years of service. Moved home to be near my family. I enjoy all four seasons... missed that in Southern California.

I'm 6ft, brown hair, baby blues eyes, and a athletic body. I'm looking for that special girl. I may give off that bad boy image but I'm a sweet guy once you get to know me. I've got a awesome sense of humor. I've got a bit of romantic side, I love moonlight walks especially on the beach or just sitting inside enjoying candlelight. I love the outdoors. I love camping and going on hikes. I like to fish I try and go whenever I'm at my grandparents. I'm going to learn how to play guitar or the drums at some point.

spontanious funny, outgoing gentleman with morals and values and just a little self centered (lol) but considerate of others feeling and opinions ! likes to have fun indoors and out doors, any more , you hit me up and we can talk about it rudown4it2004 oh and that's my messenger for yaho

I consider myself an intelligent person, and sometimes too inteligent for my own good, although that doesn't really describe me at all.

You can say that I have a lot of culture background ever since I was young I have been exploring the most deepest subcultures and also making friends along.

But I am defenetly no straight A kid nor a High IQ person at all, that is the funnest part.

I really love my friends and I like to make fun of everything!

I am 29 years old, single never married. I have a 910 yr old daughter, I have just started my own business. I graduated college with an Associate's in Information Technology. I am not what you would call a party girl however I do enjoy good times and lots of laughs.

im pretty straight forward...but hopefully easy going-you can decide.I enjoy relaxing while being active,love to lay on a beach-but not all day...love water sports,medium rare steaks and thunderstorms

I have a lot of friends and like to make new friends. Listening to others' stories, exchanging ideas, and telling each other's experiences give me energy and encouragement to go forward with my life. I'm quite busy with my work but when I have time, I do talk a lot, write a lot, and eat a lot :P

My life has been so fortunate. I'm surrounded by people who love me, or at least, care for me. And I'm so thankful for all their support. Indeed, I do believe in faith. I believe that everything happens for reason. Isn't it amazing that I have to meet people who became my close friends or to fall in love with someone outside my home country? Or when I meet someone for the first time, I sometimes feel like I have known that person for a long time.

I do like traveling (international and domestic); however, I've never had a chance to travel alone. I'd love to do it sometimes soon, if opportunity provided!

Iam a 23 year old firefighter looking for someone I can spend my time with.

Psychology has been a passion of mine since I was very young; I never get tired of exploring it.

I really enjoy taking time to decompress, being around nature, and creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere. I don't subscribe to the New York mentality of being incessantly busy and stressed. I like to visit waterfalls/waterholes. Beaches, especially the secluded ones, are something I wish I lived closer to.
I like exploring and trying new things.

i am down to earth person and i keep it real and i have i good heart

"Paper is the enemy of words."

I write, and read, and generally enjoy looking things up. Wikipedia, Ted.com and dictionary.com are my favorite websites. Information is great, and it can be addictive. Holding conversations about almost anything is a hobby of mine, I tend to do it well. I really enjoy listening to other people more than talking myself.

I edit everything I type, which can be annoying when conversing on the internet. I edited this passage three times. The editing thing comes in useful when I'm writing. I do it naturally so it doesn't really interrupt my train of thought. I also randomly enjoy it when people point out my spelling mistakes, it helps me correct them permanently.

I'm fairly intelligent, or at least I like to think so, luckily so do most people I meet. I have a bit of a problem with utilizing it effectively at times, but not too much. I do enjoy a debate about mostly anything as long as the person I'm debating with is capable of having their mind changed. If it's something you're completely set in stone about talking at length on that subject generally doesn't matter. All people really need to do in this case is touch base and see if their ideals meet up and if not they should agree to disagree.

I have a pretty fast wit. I've left friends with a joke that can take them minutes to start laughing, they're always funny, sometimes it just takes a bit to register. This also helps me a lot with solving problems quickly, which is extremely useful.

I'm fairly liberal, and identify with libertarianism in what I want from the government, though, that seems to be failing due to the Utopian ideal of thinking people should be good. I also spend a lot of time looking up information on economics, and politics. I want to write a book on my views about government and social structure, but there is so much information to include and so many things to think about.

I'm a bit of a hippy really. Not the, "Hey man, wanna smoke a bowl," type of hippy. I'm more the, "Peace and love," kind. I'm not very religious, and that's why OKCupid thinks I'm not spiritual, but I believe I am spiritual, in a way. I just don't think that if there is some all powerful being out there, that it would really care if I have sex before marriage, if I like men, or even if I believe in it. I try to live as a good person, and if that isn't enough, than so be it.

I'd like to think I change people's lives, and hopefully I do it for the better. I'm a good friend, an excellent listener, and a bad talker. I should explain that last statement. I'm fine at speaking, it just takes me a while to warm up, especially since I enjoy hearing people talk a lot. Though I do ramble occasionally.

I'm fairly confident in my abilities, and can be a bit cocky, only in a harmless and funny way though.

I want to author books.
I want to dance so hard people can see my soul.
I want my tears to taste like joy.
I want simple things to be simple.
I want to get out of my own way and live.
I want people to see infinity in my eyes.
I want to love and be loved.
I want you to understand.

I'm a dreamer. I have high expectations for myself. I love to go out to dinner. I'm political. Irish and Quebecois. Opinionated, but I'm very happy to talk to people who disagree with me, about anything: variety is the spice of life. I spent a few months in Ireland on a term abroad and got to bum around Europe, and it was one of the happiest times of my life.

I am fun and outgoing with a good sense of humor. Don't let my age give you the wrong idea. It is just a number. I am and always will be young at heart (and most say I look it too!;))

I love fine dining and red wine BUT I can also enjoy a pint o'Guiness at the local dive. I have a few passions. In no particular order: Politics, animals, food, movies, especially the classics (and I'm talking the 30s through the 50s - Cary Grant being my fave!) I listen to all kinds of music. Right now that includes Cold War Kids, Kanye West, Incubus and Joss Stone. I also love to cook. (I am a Pescaterian - vegetarian that includes fish.)

I am a very fun, romantic, kind, loyal, caring, affectionate and bright man, A man that doesn't care about what you

have, but who you are. I am easy going and get along very well with people. I am easy to get to know and enjoy

people very much. My family is a top priority in my life. I love the intimacy between two people who care about one

another and sharing such things as the rain, walks at night under a full moon in the country, sunsets and sunrises,

roaring fires in the winter, drives along the coast or just cooking a great meal together. Life's simple pleasures.

Although I enjoy getting all dressed up on occasion and going out on the town or fishing and target shooting in the

country. I am usually very upbeat and am thankful for what I have.

Capt. Nately: Don't you have any principles?
Old man in whorehouse: Of course not!
Capt. Nately: No morality?
Old man in whorehouse: I'm a very moral man, and Italy is a very moral country. That's why we will certainly come out on top again if we succeed in being defeated.
Capt. Nately: You talk like a madman.
Old man in whorehouse: But I live like a sane one. I was a fascist when Mussolini was on top. Now that he has been deposed, I am anti-fascist. When the Germans were here, I was fanatically pro-German. Now I'm fanatically pro-American. You'll find no more loyal partisan in all of Italy than myself.
Capt. Nately: You're a shameful opportunist! What you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
Old man in whorehouse: You have it backwards. It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. I know.
Capt. Nately: How do you know?
Old man in whorehouse: Because I am 107-years-old. How old are you?
Capt. Nately: I'll be 20 in January.
Old man in whorehouse: If you live.

this prolly isnt the best self summary, i think this quote is from the movie catch 22, which i've never seen, but its close to whats in the book, which i did read...and really liked.

country girl. one of 5. love dogs. love traveling. love my work.

I am a Kevin Spacey look-a-like, just younger with a full head of hair.

I think about 80s tennis constantly. I am an ardent tennis player, I also like to play bar pool and watch French movies.

My number is (518) 505-4347

Wish I had more than three adjectives to describe myself but I am good with using that which is available. Hello there! I decided to take a less formal approach and just give you the skinney of what I am about. I work full time and overnight. During the day--I practice my craft as a painter. Not a contract or commercial construction industrial, but the chuck close, James rosenquist, dali type variety...If I lost you on any of these names--you need not read any further, you're not for me. However, if the thought of find out more about them intrigues you, by all means--drop an email.

I am 27 and have been single for a while and am looking for a long term relationship. I like to be outside like camping hiking taking long road trips I also like to take pictures of my trips.

I'm the typical overworked, underfunded grad student but I work hard to make room for the important people. I tend to use humor as a defense mechanism in awkward situations. I'm pretty tall but I think I'm a too goofy to appear intimidating. I'm very affectionate but I 'just say no' to tacky PDA.
I believing in perspective taking. I think we all have the ability to improve the world we live in (in our own way) and I'm attracted to girls who work hard for positive social/political change.

What's to say that's so different from everyone else on here? I've travelled in the US a fair amount for work, spent some time in Utah, Idaho and California in the mid 90's then relocated back to the Albany where I grew up. I haven't travelled overseas anywhere near as much as I would like to, and somewhat regrettably, I never stopped to smell the roses too much when I travelled for work. I have a large and close family in the area and a 6 year old daughter that lives with me 50%+ of the time. I have a wide variety of interests, which I guess comes from getting bored easily. I don't know that I'm the archetypal jack of all trades, but I can cover a fair amount of ground. I'm a happy, laid back person who just enjoys doing things. I'm also a pretty committed introvert - I'm not antisocial, asocial is probably a better description. I'm very independent, hate asking for or needing help, but am very quick to offer it.

I'm looking for a partner in life. Someone who I can relate to, bounce ideas off, someone who likes to look at the quirky side of life. Someone to grow with, share with and love life with.That being said, while I'm empathetic and supportive, plus very loyal and have the utmost integrity, I have almost no patience with people that act like victims or people that won't take control of their lives. I also think it's very important to appreciate your loved ones, to let them know it, and to not displace anger or frustration in their direction. There's a great quote from the Zach Braff movie "The Last Kiss". The father in the movie (a flawed figure, I'm not exonerating him) says to Zach Braff "What you feel only matters to you. How you treat the ones you love is what counts". In terms of common interests, I have so many that I'm not sure what the most important in my partner would be. Reading is a huge plus, camping in the summer is a must.

I like movies, music, relaxing, and being myself. I like to read, I enjoy talking to people & hearing about what turns them on... etc

come out wishing star...come out, come out, wherever you are...

I am dedicated, loyal, ambitious, creative, intelligent, positive, musical, affectionate, sensual,warm and ethical... with a sense of humor for the world and myself. We all have a bit of bad boy in us, I am no exception :) Interests include photography, digital imaging, music, RC airplanes, computers, motorcycling, spiritual/historical discoveries, traveling, flea markets and antique/collectible fairs, trade shows, home projects, fixing up and building things, relaxing or going out. Love to dance. Looking to "find you" to share lifes ups and downs. My 9 year old daughter is a big part of HALF of my time... she brings joy and wonder... It would be wonderful to share all the facets of this existence, positive and questionable, with you. I have had my share of tests and have survived them through faith...I am a one woman man. Looking for you! Yes, I am for real...

You are...slim, or slender of build, 45-50ish, down to earth, simple, casual, and have a smile for the world. Compassionate, home/family oriented, creative, steady, reliable, positive, spiritually curious, musical, with a sense of humor, a sense of wonder and a sense of rythym. Let's dance...

I graduated from a four-year university with the intention of eventually working with 3D graphics in either movies or games. I currently work retail and am not too fond of the job.

I can talk about anything, as I'm pretty diversified and I'm extremely open to ideas and opinions.

I'm not really afraid of much and I'm almost never serious about things. I don't feel that getting upset over things solves anything, so I take most things in stride.

For the most part I'm happy content and satiffied with my life. I'm self sufficient, drama free, independent, strong, honest, proud of my heritage and dependable with a great since of humor. I like to go out to concerts, restaurants, plays, amusement parks and movies (action, scifi, romance & comedy) or play board games. I'm an avid reader and I love spending time with my friends or by myself. I'm a proud mother of one and I'm done:) That's all for now...........

Love to have a good time and let loose..... When i'm not workin. Love to go out to a club or dancing and just have a good time. Like the outdoors... Hiking, camping, going to the beach.... Or just hanging with my friends relaxin.

i'm 7'4, spotted like a giraffe, long green mossy hair, my left side grows faster than my right, you know: dead sexy

Maybe one of these days ill fill out a real description of myself in this silly little box, but for now the part of me that says not to is winning.
