I am kind, adventuress, and romantic.
My Self-Summary
I live in Athens - the Classic City, party in Atlanta, and enjoy my
weekends in the mountains....LOL I work in the IT Field. I enjoy
activities ranging from hiking, to playing music, to watching
movies. I am one of those few guys who actually enjoys cooking as
much as I enjoy going cave-exploring or dirt-biking!! Just don't
ask me to bake. I can not bake much to save my life!!
I LOVE music, and play guitar and piano. I listen to Kompa, Soca,
Reggae, Soft Rock, and CCM. I also LOVE to dance. I am not the best
at it, but I will go out on any floor any day.
Some cool facts about me that you might like to know. In case you
have not figured out yet, I am a Haitian-American. However, what
you don't know is that I was adopted before I was even 2 years old.
I have lived in three countries, 6 States, and I have moved 24
times in my life so far. Let's see what else....I have owned two
pet monkeys. I had a squirrel monkey for about 6 months, and a
Marmoset for about 2 years. No, they are not as mean as everyone
says. They make great pets in my opinion!!
I am not a big sports fan, but I do keep up with the latest and
greatest. I would much rather go to a live game then watch it on TV
or read about it. However, I will go to a live football or baseball
game though. You will have me more interested in a good board game
to tell you the truth.
To sum things up, I like to have fun, but I prefer not to have fun
by myself. I don't always have to be with someone, but friends and
relationships are important to me. You know?
What I’m doing with my life
What I am doing with my life? Well, I am currently an IT
Consultant. I design websites and work with computers and all that
boring stuff. I also teach guitar and piano lessons for fun.
Sometimes, I even play piano for different restaurants and churches
in the area. As you can tell, music is my true passion.
My end goal is to perform counseling through massage therapy and
work with music through teaching and playing. But I have a ways to
go until I get there.
Some other dream jobs....Audio Technician, Heavy Machinery
Operator, Massage Therapist, Tour Guide. Although I like computers,
notice it is not in that list. I have found that if you know
computers, EVERYONE wants you to work on theirs!! LOL
I’m really good at
Talking???? I don't know. I am good at cooking, but horrible at
baking!! I am good at piano, but not that good at trumpet. Let's
see....O, don't forget the radio!! I am very good at listening to
the radio....but I guess you could say that I am good at listening
in general. Many of my friends say that they like that I take time
to listen and try to understand whether it be a personal problem or
a computer problem. I am not bragging, but just sharing something
that I have been gifted with as a TCK who has traveled his fair
share. (Third Culture Kid)
The first things people usually notice about me
I am compassionate. I often stop for stranded motorist on the side
of the road. Yes, that is dangerous I know, but I hope that one day
it will pay off and someone will do the same for me. Maybe I should
work for AAA.
Another thing I hear the first time people meet me in person is:
"You are not white!!" I was adopted when young, and learned English
- my second language - with a strong southern accent. So, often
when people talk to me on the phone, they expect some white guy
with a straw hat to come walking through the door. SURPRISE!!
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
MOVIES: Save the Last Dance, Hitch, Lord of the Ring, White
Chicks
BOOKS: By Order of the President, TCK - Third Culture Kids
MUSIC: DC Talk, Matisyahu, Misty Jean, Zenglen, Hawk Nelson, Jeremy
Camp, Glenn Washington, Beres Hammond, Aqua....Get the point? I
like a variety. Don't like much country, and very little classical.
NO HEAVY METAL!!
FOOD: Curry, Guyanese Food, Chinese Food, Haystacks, Home-cooked
food. I am not real picky, but I don't like potatoes, tuna, or
bananas.
The six things I could never do without
My phone, my computer, my friends. It is strange since I grew up
over-seas without a phone or a computer, but working in IT, I use
this stuff a lot now.
Friends are very important to me as well as they are my support
system.
Other things...my car - can't live without it. My sense of humor, I
need that too!!
I spend a lot of time thinking about
life...I am always thinking, but who knows about what!!
On a typical Friday night I am
Well, I love playing games - board games - with friends on Friday,
but many Fridays are spent at the Dollar Theater or at H20.
Sometimes, I am playing piano on a Friday.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
You have to ask me that question personally. Otherwise, I will
admit that I am human. Does that count????
If you insist, I once announced for a foot ball game, and after the
pledge, I said "Let's play ball!!" Ooops, wrong sport.
You should message me if
You should message me if you want to find out more about me, or if
you are looking for a really cool person to talk to. Maybe you are
a TCK, or maybe you like meeting new people. Maybe you are looking
for someone to play guitar with or some board games. Maybe you like
hiking or caving. Maybe you just want a friend who will be there
and talk to you about any and everything. Whatever it is, you don't
know if we will get along till you write. So, I am waiting....
