Who am I is such a difficult question when there are so many sides to me. I can be a complete romantic yet still be practical, plan things out or be spontaneous, be wild and crazy or be very professional and reserved - ok, wild and crazy is usually a lot more fun - but it all depends on the situation. I am free spirited and will try virtually anything once because I never know if I will like it without at least trying.

I'm also a bit of a geek, nerd, or whatever term you want to use being very open minded towards almost anything. People shouldn't be ashamed of who they are or what they like because different is good, regardless of how society trys to tell us we have to think.

I am definitely an alpha personality and sometimes a bit of a perfectionist. Bad humor is something I enjoy and can laugh at things some might consider mildly offensive. I also laugh at myself because life can just be ironic and funny.

I don't judge people since we ALL have our own little quirks, likes, and dislikes that make us unique and different. Some like vanilla and others don't - it is all good! Our differences are what makes getting to know someone interesting! I have always felt that you only live once, and sometimes you just have to take a chance to experience life and not watch it pass by!

I hope to one day find a special person to share all these wonderful experiences life has to offer with me.

I am the owner of two crystal quartz mines and sell gems, jewelry and minerals. Most of my business is done through the internet and supplying stores around the world. As my own boss I am fortunate to set my own hours and have a reasonable amount of free time.

Next year I plan on opening a retail rock shop and gem mine where people can mine for all types of rough gemstones right here in the Akron / Cleveland / Canton area. I have done this in the past in Virginia and to see the wonder and amazement in someone's eyes, especially children, when they find beautiful natural stones is something you have to see to believe. I loved doing this in the past since I got to make people smile all day long and can't wait to open up in this area.

Opening up my mind to new experiences. If you haven't tried it, mind as well, you never know if you might really enjoy it!

I had my smile as the answer for this, but when I asked my friends they said that was inaccurate and it was my presence when I walk into the room.

Books: I don't read books often so I don't have a favorite. I do read the news online daily though to keep up with the world.

Movies: I like almost any good movie - action, horror, 3D movies (I'm a self proclaimed geek), comedy, and just about any other type.

TV Shows: Big Bang Theory, True Blood, Two and a Half Men, CSI, Criminal Minds, Survivor, Who's that Girl, and a bunch of others, all which are on my DVR, and most have multiple episodes because I haven't taken time yet to watch them.

Music: I enjoy all types of music except country. Pop, Rock, Metal, Rap, Dance, Techno, Symphonic Rock, 80's, 90's, etc. You name it, I listen to it.

Food: Oh the amazing food!! I love to try new foods! I also enjoy Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, American, pretty much you name it and I usually like it. I do prefer eating at a nice restaurant instead of fast food, except on rare occasions when I get a craving or I am traveling. I try to eat semi-healthy and fast food is just way too greasy most of the time.

1) A Heartbeat
2) Lungs
3) Water and Food
4) The sun being the right distance from the earth

... oh, wait, I don't think that's what they meant, too literal ...

Let's try the following:

1) Good Friends
2) Good Food
3) Some "Me" Time
4) New Experiences
5) My Work (I love what I do!)
6) Smiling and Having Fun

So many different things! My future, relationships, work, the meaning of life ...

Having dinner, watching TV, playing games on the internet, hanging out with friends, going to see a comedy show, going to see live bands... there are too many different things I can potentially be doing to say there is a typical friday night for me.

If you message me - I will tell you... *grin*

Want to explore the universe on my home made spacecraft while sipping on an intergalactic mix of jatobe fruit from the planet Mapiank and xanto fruit from Zartor. No, I'm not insane, I'm serious! Really, we can! (If you can't understand that is meant to be humor, it probably wouldn't be good to message me.)

In all seriousness though, if you think I am interesting and would like to talk send me a message! Don't be shy - what have you got to lose?
