What about me??... Well, I'm light and I'm dark, but the way I see it there's got to be a positive and a negative charge; the trick is finding a healthy balance. My nature is deeply empathetic, compassionate and concerned. Normally, I'm fairly outgoing, but I can be reserved and somewhat shy I wonder if being a listener gives people the impression that I'm a bit inscrutable. I have a stubborn streak and I hold onto my convictions tenaciously. In light of this, I am aware of this tendency and strive to communicate with grace. I love words for they wield so much power. Words can bring joy, instigate laughter, wound, comfort, enlighten, so many things. In order to prevent a hot topic from burning out it takes a great presence of mind to say words in just the right way. I am driven and ambitious. My work ethic is strong now. Deep inside me there's a hunger that makes me search for activities with greater meaning. I'm analytical and I tend to live inside my head sometimes. I restlessly seek a broader understanding of myself, of others and the universe at large. Spontaneity is my strong suit. There are times when I feel more comfortable in the contemplation of an action rather than in its execution. I rarely act without profound discernment of all possible outcomes. I have a sentimental and sensitive nature which can be both a blessing and a curse. I treasure cleverness and intelligence. I am not very patient with shortsighted individuals or shallow minds. I like deep thinkers. I really enjoy verbal people who readily share; natural storytellers. I have a sarcastic sense of humor and I may laugh at your expense from time to time, so I hope that's okay. I can laugh at myself as well, and do it often. I do so usually when I realize I'm taking life a bit too seriously. I can test my loved ones now and then with my sense of independence. My I'll do-it-myself attitude often drives those who care about me crazy, but what can I say, I'm just a guy in the world trying to make my way with open eyes, an open mind and an open heart.
