I really enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and am somewhat obsessive about my favorite little sidekick, Calvin. I think you can tell a lot about someone by looking at their relationship with their dependents - be it their children or their pet. Travel and education are EXTREMELY important to me, as well as establishing myself professionally in a career with meaningful depth. I am facinated by those whom speak multiple languages, and those that can (and are willing to) lose themselves in the music they create or the music as they dance. I am among the rhythmically challenged and relatively shy, so I am content to sit back and enjoy the show, but I DO agree that in all facets of life, it's not necessarily important whether or not you dance well, but rather, that you actually dance! I am moved by those that have a PASSION in their life, and I love to hear about it, provided that it is mindful. I DETEST stereotypes b/c they make room for ignorance. Life is short; learn, experience it passionatly, and build worthwhile relationships. Twain's quote that I have posted down below is, in essence, ME!!

Travel and Education! Staying active and lots of humor! There's nothing that a long run can't fix! I'm always looking to try new things or develop new interests. I surround myself with people that are optimistic, driven, & think outside the box!

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it solely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of people and things can not be acquired by vegetating in one corner of the Earth all one's lifetime."
-- Mark Twain
