| About Me | WOW GOD!....YOU DID IT AGAIN TODAY! ...THANKS! I AM A LEADER AND NOT A FOLLOWER. I am very independent and sometimes have the attitude that I can do it all without any help. I don't necessarily want someone to hold my hand through my trials and tribulations but want someone who is willing to try to understand. I have no problem asking for help and will acknowledge that I didn't do it alone. I consider myself very intelligent, realistic, down-to-earth person. I am very good at listening and analyzing situations, getting down to the root of the problem and finding a solution. I can be too harsh, critical, and conservative but on the other hand, cool, funny and witty. I can be highly discriminating -- especially when it comes to matters of personal desire and therefore feel I have the legal right to say "No." However, when I am ready to say yes, the laser-like focus of my passion is anything but prudish. I’m usually a very private person but have become a little more sociable by networking. I really need my space sometimes, but like to be spontaneous also. Also I am very subconscious about what people say and give it some thought on all angles. I love comedies and love, love to laugh. I CARE: I have the uncanny sense to see what is wrong with a person, a situation or your environment, which sometimes makes others feel as tho I am bugging them. It's just that I care and want to help. MY MENTALITY: My practical analytical abilities are second to none. My mental process may not be the most creative but it's extremely close, and my razor-like thinking is highly effective. I separate the useful from the useless, the good from the bad. Once things are processed on my mental plane, transcendence to my emotions then take place. I use my discernment to take time mentally to process where things fit into my life, how it affects me, and how it can be beneficial. MY FAULTS: I consider myself to be a "clean freak," with a messy closet or a disaster under my bed, so please don't look there. Even though I am far from perfect and I realize it, I look for perfection in others. Even though I want others to have patience with me, I tend to find myself not having patience with others. MY WORK HABITS: I consider myself very employable because I am not likely to do shabby work. I am a hard worker and self-starter. I work until I get the job done. I work best independently but am diverse enough to work in a team setting as well. WHAT I AM WORKING ON: I need to learn to be selectively less critical, both of others and myself, but I'm working on this through prayer and counseling from the Almighty. I have endurance but not too much patience. Working on tweeking my patience. AS A FRIEND AND SOULMATE: You must be yourself. I abhor falseness and facades. I like 'Keeping It Real’ and I expect the same from others, and if they fail, I just carry on looking. Even tho I like "Keeping It Real’ I really never fully reveal myself. I strive for more than perfection in alignment of my thoughts, emotions, and acquaintances. Not that you must be perfect, but you must be true in what it is you bring to the table as my friend or soulmate. I don’t tolerate shallow people or people with unnecessary drama. I have low or no tolerance for drama in my life. I give none and I receive none. Trust is foremost on my agenda. It takes some time for me to trust people, but once I know I can - I do, and I am willing to do a lot for them. I am honest, compassionate, tender, sensual, kind, practical and a very loyal friend and I am not to keen on people who try to back stab or two-faced. I usually won't continue to communicate or be bothered with you if I don't trust you with my feelings and I do not forgive easily. My force field never shuts off completely. Some order must be present in you for me to truly trust you. Even after a very harsh disagreement, I don't stay angry for long. I love buying gifts and / or giving to others. I am very practical person, so my gifts tend not to be frivolous. It's always something you can use or something to better yourself. I am the type of person who might not buy you the hot boots you asked for just because I think you have too many pairs of shoes, but I will buy you a blender because I know you like Smoothies. I consider myself as a great person to know. I feel I will make a great friend, wonderful counselor, and a great lover. All it takes to be my friend is patience, truthfulness, and an eye and willingness for continuous growth. I will encourage you as a friend and soulmate to be a better person, lavish you with constrictive praise, and want nothing more from you than growth; I will even grow with you. MY GOALS: Continue working to grow my own business and looking for new ways to become better successful. I will forever look for something new to improve my life, I always set goals and am constantly striving for new goals. I tend to let my mind become flooded with ideas. It is for this reason I am seen as somewhat hyper, because my thinking gears are constantly in motion. I am not afraid to fail, it only makes me try and try again even harder. Even though, I am not very patient with others, I have ...(read more) |
