Well I guess my friends and family are tantamount to any success I have... or will ever attain. And having someone special in my life is also very important, allowing me to achieve greater things than if I was on my own. I also like to give back to my partner, and help them grow into the best person they can be. And I am loyal too.

I am a writer/musician at heart, so I do have a creative/sensitive side, and I require some "creative" time here and there. So if you are creative too, or require time to yourself every so often to get things done, then we'd be a good fit. Don't get me wrong though, I always love spending quality time with my partner, and never would sacrifice that.

My winning attitude and (long-term) positive outlook always balance out any pessimism I have about things.

Outdoor activities and sports are high on my list, as is traveling and taking advantage of New York's city life, parks and beaches.

If I ever get too stressed, I laugh... very hard... at how ridiculous worry is (I have a bit of gallows humor). Balancing wit with sincerity is something I am good at doing.

Traveling and vacationing (whether it be far or near) is a must for me, at least a few times a year.
