Love best describes me. Romantic love. Giving love. Unselfish love. Compassionate love. Clear love. Passionate love. Groovy Love. Undefended love. Wise love. Honest love. Respectful love. Educated love. Silly Love. In fact, my friends all tell me what a nice and giving guy I am ... as my doors are always unselfishly open to those people in my life ... Yes, I can also get my head into the game, calling upon wisdom learned from my many experiences and a lot of tested common sense -- although there often seems to be another lesson waiting around the metaphorical corner ... And, yes, I have a long list of passions and hobbies, including dancing (from salsa and tango to hip hop), painting the town red (love performing arts), writing (I've written a lot of poetry, and now I'm writing a book), playing the guitar and singing, designing and building my home (yes, I'm a bit of a handyman), cooking, throwing great parties, traveling (over a million miles on American Airlines alone), volunteering (from big brother to crisis counselor), education (I have two graduate degrees and always find myself learning something new), maintaining my financial stablity, etc... However, my passions do not define me. Rather, they are simply reflections of my desire to enjoy all that life has to offer -- desire built upon the steady, stable foundation I have created for myself. In other words, it is from this solid place where I explore many of life's passions without being dragged down by senseless drama ... I do live my life near my essence to love and to be loved in return. I have no need for fear, little room for uncontrolled anger, even less room for drama ... just love and being loving. Anyone out there ready to share all the passion life has offer, grounded with unconditional love?
