True Love (... This is real talk... Check it out... world!)
True Love is Real Love.
True Love is Real Love.
It only happens once in a lifetime but is the most wondrous thing to ever happen. When your eyes first meet you know deep within your heart that they are the perfect match for you. It is a mutual feeling. Although there may be bumps along the way, true love always wins in the end. True love is also respecting your mate....not putting sexual pressure on them. It is the type of love that still lasts even if your mate loses their legs or suffers terrible burns. It lives on no matter what. True love also is fidelity, honesty, honor and respect. It is where the male follows a code of chivalry, meaning a respect for women, and the woman honors her husband. Apart they are two but together they are one. True love is not based on looks and there is no feeling of lust. If someone has true love they will wait until the bonds of marriage to have sex. They are unselfish and care more about their partner then for themselves.
Sometimes, those people that don't socialize much aren't being anti-social. It's just that they have no tolerance for drama or fake people.

Primary Duties: Helping/fulfilling the needs of others, circa 1986... as well as maintaining and attaining knowledge...
.. I have that Diplomatic/Leadership mentality....
I'm a natural leader, a helper, and a problem-solver.
My whole personality is very extensive.. I think it's quite accurate for me to say that I'm very much like a male version of Maya Angelou.
I admire:
- people who are compassionate and warm-hearted towards others
- people who are real and aren't afraid to be themselves
- people who live up to strong family values
- people who are generous and love to help others
- people who've overcame struggles
- people who are chill and humble
I have a very high/fast metabolism rate. I'm very creative, which is why I love many kinds of art. I have a strong passion for music. I enjoy playing most sports. I'm spontaneous and random at times (it's a compulsive habit).
.... I'm an amateur recording artist... I rap, beat-box, make beats, and sing a little bit! I also play the piano......
Current and future goals/aspirations (overall, these goals are more-so of afterthoughts):
- Stay more organized
- Relax....
Also...
- I want to get back into playing board-games and card games... in particular....
- Learn how to play chess
- Relearn how to play dominoes and backgammon
- Play Uno and checkers more often
- I want to play ping pong (aka table tennis) again....
- Write my own books (although I pretty much am the author of my life)
- I haven't been swimming in quite a while....
- I want to start cooking more often......

I'm cross-dominant...
Cross-dominance, also known as mixed-handedness, mixed dominance, or hand-confusion, is a motor skill manifestation where a person favors one hand for some tasks and the other hand for others. For example (which applies to me, coincidentally), a cross-dominant person might write with the right hand but throw primarily with the left (Wikipedia).

"Life is too short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can. Apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change. Love deeply and forgive quickly... take chances... give everything and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy. You have to take the good with the bad. Smile when your sad and love what you've got. Always remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget. Learn from your mistakes, but never regret.

Don't follow in the footsteps of others, instead make your own path. Create your own story.
I love education, in general, but I don't like going to school (taking exams etc.).....
Keep your language clean and respectable. Say positive things about others whenever possible, but be sincere - people can recognize the difference between true interest and forced flattery. Don't pretend to be someone you're not. People might think you're insecure and fake. Therefore you won't be respected.

Three words I despise: Self-seeking, Self-centered, and Selfish
I can't stand:
narrow-mindedness
closed-mindedness
insecurity
immaturity
rudeness
shallowness
ignorance
drama
pretentiousness
stupidity
what else..?
I also can't stand egocentrism:
Some people have the tendency to perceive, understand and interpret the world in terms of the self. The term derives from the Greek egô, meaning "I". An egocentric person has no theory of mind, cannot "put himself/herself in other people's shoes," and believes everyone sees what he/she sees (or that what he/she sees in some way exceeds what others see.) They are unable to separate their own beliefs, thoughts and ideas from others.

I'm very tech-savvy, and I prefer PCs over Macs.
I'm great at playing billiards (aka pool).
I love playing Tien Len (aka the card game Thirteen).
I'm prolly the most creative, innovative person you'll ever know.
Speaking of creativity, I used to draw and color a lot in my spare time, when I was much younger. I still have a couple binders filled with the drawings that I've done. As of lately, I've been in the process of learning how to draw more realistic things, as opposed to cartoon-like things.
Also, I used to play with things, such as Legos, and other toys such as that.
- I love myself.. I love all others... I love being myself. I'm prolly the most realest person you'll ever meet and know... I'm always myself.
Always stay true to thyself.
I want to emphasize that you don't necessarily have to be in a relationship to enjoy your life. Having fun is not directly related to being in a relationship.
... my favorite movie of all time is The Sound of Music. Do Rae Me Fa So La Te Do! Julie Andrews played an excellent role! =)
... "I Love Lucy" is prolly my favorite classic TV show of all time... Lucille Ball was/is very humorous....
