Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Heya, my name is Dexter. ^_^ I'm a nice guy looking to meet new people to have fun with and someone special to spend the twilight hours with whether it be a late night walk in the park, cuddling watching a movie, or just falling asleep to the comforting sounds of one another's' voice over the phone. A friend, a lover, and that much more, someone I can be myself with and enjoy whatever events time may bring for us.

I'm a Brooklyn-Born hybrid - part Panamanian/Columbian/Trinidadian/British. Just graduated from college with my bachelors in Marine Environmental Science. Planning to go towards a career as a Marine Biologist, something I've been chasing after ever since I was in elementary school. My family and friends mean the world to me, I'd do anything to protect them. I would, and have in the past, put my life on the line for them without a second thought or regret. I'm still here though. =)

I'm a loyal and trustworthy person who tends to make people feel happy, comfortable and safe. Very open minded and don't tend to judge people when they tell me their problems/ask for advice. This is part of why I am usually up till 1-3AM on almost any given night. Usually on the phone or online helping someone relax or get something off of their chest. Something I feel honored that I can help to do. Affectionate, responsible, honest, caring, silly goofball, respectable; its all apart of who I am. I'm shy, but at the same time I'm very outgoing and spontaneous. Love to cuddle with the one I'm with. I've always been told I'm mature for my age and speak with a knowledge well beyond my years, but at the same time I'm a kid at heart that believes just about anything is possible as long as you believe. I'm full of fun contrast and mysteries but I'll leave that for you to figure out. If you like normal and boring, I'm sorry, I'm not your guy. Being normal and "in the box" is overrated, paranormal for the win! =P

I like to keep busy and have fun, whether its going out with friends to the movies, karaoke, dancing, or staying at home writing stories/poetry, drawing, reading books or any number of things. A few of my other interest are swimming, sailing, scuba diving, fencing, the paranormal, photography, Anime, metaphysics, magick, Iaido, and cooking(runs in the family ^^). I love playing sports with friends but more for fun than competitively. Especially soccer, volleyball, and Iaido which is Japanese Sword Arts Style. Yes, I practice with swords, from the wooden Kendo sticks and bokens to broad swords and katanas. Still learning from a friend how to use Sai's. Smoking/drugs aren't my thing - never have been and never will be hands down.

I love anime, have since I was little. Watch/download a lot on my computer and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't reflected in me. Then again, arguably, maybe I watch the anime that I do cause a part of me is reflected in it. I'll leave that to the psych majors to figure out, if they can ever fully figure out the rest of me. Aside from giving me ideas for good storylines to write, having large arrays of enchanting music and inspiring my creativity at my low points, there are a lot of life and moral lessons that can be found within them to those who are open minded enough to notice them. Lessons that society doesn't necessarily teach any more like chivalry and fighting whole heartedly for what you believe in. In this day an age, such thoughts aren't really publicize or taught regularly. It's comforting that they still exist in someplace where new generations can potentially learn them and continue to keep the statement "Chivalry is dead" from being completely true. That should give a general taste for what I'm like.

Like I said before, I like to go out and have fun and I hope it you do to. Doesn't necessarily have to cost anything though I do like going to movies, amusement parks, laser tag, bowling, etc. It could be as simple as going for a walk in the park, day or night. Often, whether with a friend or solo, I'll wander around either Prospect Park or Central Park late at night, just to be outdoors if I can't drive out upstate or out of state at the time, just to be around nature. I'm an animal person so anywhere there's animals, I'm at home. Don't be too surprised if you see random birds, squirrels, dogs, or stray cats try to come up to me and play. I'm literally that in tune with nature. ^^ Could be staying home to watch movies, play video/board games, cards, or just cuddling. If you have an experimental spirit, then the kitchen holds endless amounts of potential activities to keep us busy. As long as there is people around to have fun and share laughs with, then there is nothing more one can really ask for.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Just graduated from my first four years of college at SUNY Maritime with my Bachelors in Marine Environmental Science. About to start Grad School at Maritime beginning of September but in the spring, transfer over to SUNY Stony Brook (assuming acceptance) for they have a much better program for my dream career which is being a Marine Biologist. At the same time, putting my applications out there to start searching for a career in my field. I already have put in a lot of volunteer hours at the NY Aquarium to gain experience in the field which I might do again this summer. I know from my professor who are in the same field in can take a little while but when you find the jobs, they stick and they pay. ^_^

As for career, I have more than one dreams, and I plan to after them all. I already mentioned my love of nature and desire to be a Marine Biologist. I also want to open my own restaurant and club/bar. I've had a passion for cooking since I was little that runs in the family. My parents were a little hesitant to let me start at first but they soon found out if they didn't "let" me, I'd find my way to the stove one way or another. ^^; I want to open a place that has a bit of everything: from home cooked meals to Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, West Indian and a few obscure dishes from everywhere including some of my personal creations. A place that anyone can something to suit their palette. The club/bar speaks for itself. A place for people to come, have fun, dance and sing their troubles away. A couple of floors each with its own theme, sorta like Webster Hall. You have you're salsa, your R&B, you're trance/techno cause I <3 raving, etc. I proclaim unlimited free glow sticks and cookies for all!!!

I'm really good at Propose an edit

A lot of things according to my friends and peers. I seem to be the first person everyone runs to for relationship advice, or any advice for that matter. (for whatever reason they all seem to think I have the right answer for everything - oh! the power I wield!) photography, great cook, kissing, making people laugh, making friends/meeting new people, listening, magic, having a knack for knowing things that I shouldn't that will probably get me in major trouble if not killed someday (lol), writing stories/poetry, roleplaying, and giving awesome massages and hugs.

In my eyes, I'm also a decent fencer/sword fighter, very good tactician, reading thousand page books in a day or two, computer programming/repair, and at video games(If I am going down in Halo3, you're coming with me!!! ::shakes fist menacingly::). As you can see, liking anime has had an affect on my personality. Or is it that my natural personality led me to anime... Hmm... Psych majors, I leave that to you to figure out.

Oh, and I almost forgot. I'm great at giving people headaches and making them loose sleep as they try to figure every single thing about me and throw me into a nice and neat standardized category so that they can predict what I'd do(not one person has managed to do so yet! HA!). Other than being a nice guy and a loyal friend, there is very little you can get off of me just at a glance or short conversation. I'm constantly shocking people (in a good/alluring way)as they start to learn more about me and what I am about. It's nice to keep people on their toes. =^_^=

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

The first things people tend to notice about me are that I'm weird/a goofy dork though in a good way, that I have vivid deep brown eyes; built arms; have a genuine warmth about me; nice smile; friendly eyes and I've been told by some that I have a look in my gaze at times that seems to say I hear, know, and see more of people and the world than most ever do.

1. Hope

3. My memories
4/5. My friends & some of my family (being honest)
6. Books by my favorite authors
7. My pure heart
8. Swords (The pen is mightier than the sword huh? ::unsheathes katana:: Would you care to prove it? That's what I thought. lol)
9. Music
10. And magic in its many forms.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Friends, family, my writing, when my favorite authors are going to release their new novels, new cooking recipes, advice I've given to my friends, girls, promises I've made over the years, miracles that have happen in my life, trying to grasp the meaning of my existence in this era and place, meditation, the past, present, future, and all realms in between.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Don't have a set pattern for Fridays. Sometimes I'm out with friends, sometimes walking in the park with my mind worlds away with a book in hand. Might just be at home with a good book or movie laying next to my dog Lucky and just relaxing, music playing on the computer. Other than that, it's all really up in the air. As busy as I can get, I'm pretty good with time management so that I always seem free in comparison to some of my close friends. Depending on their schedules, I might be anywhere doing anything. (Snipping from rooftops ftw! lol =P)

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

Hmmm...

I like to dance... but but! I'm hispanic so its legal for me to like it! I don't care what society has to say on that! Shut up! Salsa for the win!

I have a guilty pleasure of making random music video with scenes from movies or anime with friends. >.>b

I confess, I'm filling out more and more questions/test out of a random obsessive compulsive desire to accumulate more profile badges and get the five stars.. >.>; Busted... lol I actually am curious how accurate some of these test are concerning me.

I like playing with swords and other sharp objects. Come on, who doesn't! You're not fooling me & putting me on the spot here buddy! I train with martial arts weaponry alongside some of my close friends and so far I've never gotten cut by any of my blades. ::knocks on wood:: The Sai's did a number on my hands though at first. Get sore quickly till you get use to them.

With the right groups of friends who either want to or are good at roleplaying, I still play Dungeons & Dragons and enjoy it. AND WHAT?!?! lol

My eyes can change colors at certain times either naturally or in certain situations. I miss when they were crimson during the big nyc blackout... Some hilarious stories came of it.

I am not really a private person at all with maybe a handful of exceptions. Ask questions & I usually tell. If I don't at first, I might at a later time if I trust a person enough to breech one or two topics. And no, they aren't sex related. That I have no problem talking about. You wouldn't either if you went to Brooklyn Tech 00-04'and have the friends I do. lol <3 you all!

You should message me if Propose an edit

If you're interested in getting to know me and like to have fun. If you're actually interested in hanging out down the line because I am looking for people to explore life with, so to speak, in one way or another. Whether it be for just friendship or more. Especially if you read through everything I wrote in one sitting. =P lol By far I congratulate you on that accomplishment if you did. =)

If you're a fan of scuba diving, anime, cooking, nature, writing and/or video games its a plus for each. Extra points if you believe or live the phrase "Being 'normal' is completely overrated." Feel free to ask me about anything you want, I'm open with just about everything. Hope to hear from you soon. ^_^

And seriously, don't be afraid to take the first step and drop a line even if it is just hello if you're shy to the point where you can't fully come out and speak of your interest. From the beginning gives me a decent degree of respect for you, seeing that you're someone who takes initiative and not just wait for everything to fall on you're lap. Just constantly popping up on my stalker list might just mean you see something that confuses you about me and your trying to figure me out, has happened more than once. I don't bite afterall... Well that's not entirely true but anytime I have, I've never heard a complaint. Maybe I should put that under things I'm good at... =)
