(Play Hans Zimmer - Discombobulate)
Why am I here? Well this is as far as the catapult could reach. Born in Hollywood California and nooo its not like the movies. :) I lived throughout LA, MIA, NY and Orlando. Now i live in Holland :D and I enjoy life every chance I get. I like to feed and treat people nice until they don't deserve it.
Sophistication and silliness should go hand in hand. :) I'm just a lucky untypical American enjoying this universe. I work in Amsterdam and revel in the moment.
Why Holland?
Because its like NY, without all the tall buildings, pollution, constant feel of terror, and you are not looked at like your crazy because you speak more than two languages.
Want a stimulating conversation?
Its not all about sex. Unless you're a priest. I also find it hilarious when people are stuck up with nothing to show for it, usually its people who think everybody wants to sleep with them. I just want to make real connections and truly have fun with this part of the world.
So I'd like to focus on making new friends, smile and laugh first. I'd like to be in a relationship but i have to see a woman that is inspirational and happy with her life. I always find a relationship great when you are good friends. :)
I also love to learn about other cultures.... yup thats right... this American boy understands we live in a multi-cultural world that has many ways of life good and bad...but i focus more on the good and funny ;)
If you like love to cook or make music or just be creative we are guaranteed to be good friends quick. :)
Spoiler Alert: My details on the right are not true because I'd rather a person meet me in person or just ask me.... besides it would take the fun out of meeting each other.

(In this section the music that plays in my head is Wagner's The Ride of the Valkyries)

I am focused with,
Art:
Writing from music to poetry, performing or reciting, observing other art forms, and dance when possible

Business:
sales operation and logistics.

Health:
Eating right, gym, capoeira, when the kitchen doesn't explode, cooking good tasting food and dance when possible.

Expanding my soul:
Making connections, listening, talking and exploring

(Jungle Boogie by Kool & the Gang plays here and the next section)

Good at giving hugs because my mama taught me :)

And making friends :D

my big sharp teeth in the full moon when I get all hairy.... wait wait... that's a movie i saw.... i think my imagination. "How do I notice imagination on this guy?" you may ask, well its because I'm laughing or smiling. :P

(Johann Sebastian Bach - Aria Da Capo plays for the next three section)

Waaaaaay too many so just ask me please. But i will mention Edgar Allan Poe, Shakespeare, and Orwell who since then on made it hard for things to shock me now.

Music to me is important. Therefore i listen to everything from Beethoven and Chopin to Gangstarr to Miles Davis to Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Radiohead to Vladimir Vysotsky to Sade to James Brown to Black Keys to Motorhead to Groove Armada to Cypress Hill to Bach to Daft Punk to The Roots to Johnny Cash ... basically anything that is genuine and not manufactured like Britney Spears or boy bands.
Music is color for the ears! So to say i only like one style is to say i live in mono color world..... good music in all styles is not easy to find... thats why we socialize and open our tastes and minds :D

Food: I can cook Cuban, Mexican, Thais, American burgers baby!, Cajun, tiny bit French, and other styles that i can't remember now. I love to eat shrimp, oysters, and mussels.

Movies: I'm weird here... I can watch anything but if i think its sucks i will tell you afterwards and why.... so please don't make me watch anything from twilight hahahaha :D

annnnd theories of classical and quantum mechanics...

that having a lot of money and fame doesn't mean being happy when i see all the plastic surgery that actors and singers put themselves through....
words that rhyme with each other....
crazy ideas for cuisines and smoothies...
sounds from musical instruments...
if michael jackson and prince got in a fight who'd win....
:P

(You Know What - N.E.R.D , plays the rest)

not being typical :P

I am addicted to KFC hot wings...... but only in Holland

1. If you are not stuck up or full of yourself because you're shallow.
2. If you are not scared to talk to someone that is not stereotypical or just curious to suggest what kind of food is good to try or drinks as well. :D
3. Message me if you want to be able to say you have a crazy american friend who likes to make you laugh.
4. Also message me if you like to make music as well, doesn't matter what instrument :)
5. That you noticed that I like music a lot and heard some of my suggestions as you read my profile.
6. That getting to know each other is fun and exciting.
Any of those reasons is good enough :D
