Date someone special from California, United States. What if there was some kind of rulebook given to all of us when we were created – and in this rulebook, it had all those things about living a great life and giving back to the world, blah, blah, blah? I think it would definitely have this notion that we all must “earn the day,” and to do that every day. Yup. Make every day count in some impactful way (isn’t that a flash idea for a logo t-shirt?)
I believe love is the second most important choice we have to make in life. You get extra points if you can figure out what I think is even more important than love. Pretty deep, eh? Well how about this: “Every man dies, not every man lives.” Here’s another gem, “Get busy living or get busy dying.” I know, I know – now you want these to be your quotes too! ;-)
On yours truly…
I consider myself part Indian, part American, part world citizen, and all California dude.
My experiences may make me out to be some sort of a modern day Indiana Jones. I once dove into a public fountain on a dare from a friend. I caught a seagull while fishing off the coast of Florida. I had a near death experience at 75 feet depth while scuba diving. On a backpacking trip in Denali, I had a scare with a very large grizzly. I’ve had an exhilarating experience with a black rhino in South Africa, and have come within meters of a Mako shark in open water. There are other adventures experiences that we can discuss later if you are either interested, or not yet wow'ed enough…
I think I come off better on video than pics or paper. Red wine, light beer, black coffee, IMAX 3D, most any kind of music, laughing with friends & family. And sometimes they all happen on the same night. My therapist has 2 wheels and 21 gears. I absolutely kick ass at the work that I do, but that's a totally different topic for us to discuss over a quad venti 2 pump skinny vanilla latte.
On relationships…
I can keep a 3 year old entertained with a fun and engaging conversation (think Jerry Maguire) and still have a deep discussion on culture or politics with your eclectic uncle. I’m betting your family will love me.
I am super close to my family, and my kids mean the world to me. Nothing will ever change that. Period. If you feel this bothers you or feel at all threatened by what I just said, no worries dude, we probably aren’t just meant to be. Yes, I can take questions now.
I put a huge value on my friendships. Many of them have become brothers and sisters, and my very own brother and sister have become my true friends. And don’t get me started on Mom and Dad.
I’m not going use a bunch of qualifying specifications to stereotype you into what I am looking for. We are all unique, and there’s no telling what combinations can create that awesome chemistry between 2 individuals.
I feel that in relationships, some of the coolest things that I have witnessed are really old people holding hands, parents that are exceptionally skilled at the art of being patient with their kids, and how much unconditional love a person can give once they have attained true love. One of the craziest of things I still believe in is that you can look into a person’s eyes, and just know. Go figure.
Yes, I think PDA is appropriate (sometimes necessary) in the right doses. By now, you may have gathered that I don’t believe love and romance is dead in the 21st century – the fire burns bright for all of us – advice for the masses: get out there, and DO NOT SETTLE!
If you made it this far, you definitely deserve a free t-shirt – maybe one with a cool logo with a catchy quote. ;) If this felt like an easy conversation that we just had, and you feel an itch to get to know each other little more, then maybe we should continue this over a cup o’ joe, or a power smoothie - (you pick the brew, I pick the place). For now, I have to go earn my day, make an impact…
How do ya like them apples? Live strong and prosper. Peace out.
