Beware of Dancing Dragons...

About Me:

UPDATE (09/06/2009):

(BTW, if you JUST got to my profile, and notice my photo missing... Yep, I just updated it! And, yes, it is of me in 'red-and-black'! For reasons that are sort of beyond me, friends of mine in other sites seem to think I look good in those colors... Personally, I don't think I'm all that, but I would appreciate your opinion when the photo shows, providing is approved!)

Ok, I'm looking at the date of my last update, and AGAIN I'm forced to ask: Wasn't that YESTERDAY?! Time DOES fly, doesn't it? Where does it go?

I sort of keep pulling these 'disappearing acts' from time to time (unintentionally, I assure all of you)... However, I think that the 'gremlins' finally filled out their quota with me and scratched me off their list... I mean, when your car, gaming station, AND computer all get messed up WEEKS apart from each other, what else am I supposed to think? Well, I FINALLY finished performing repairs on my PC, and got it back online!

(HEY, the good thing of having a little bit of 'geek' in you: Saves you a LOT in the end when it comes to computer tech support and repairs! LOL!)

And, well, since I have put you all in the past through me 'Eddie's working schedule' rant, I think I'll skip it this time around, huh? Will DEFINITELY save me a lot of typing, and spare you all of the pity party! ONLY parties I wanna be part of these days are the ones involving good company and great music (However, that doesn't mean I'll attend any of your pity parties, because I will DEFINITELY be there for ANY of you if you need me!)

Still, ALSO just like every other time in the past, it makes me happy to come back because I get to then see the kind of VERY SPECIAL friends I've made here... Yeah, you know who YOU are, so stand up and take a bow! These kept in touch with me regardless of the circunstances, no matter if it was by messaging, gifts, or the occasional vote for my profile... You are ALL THAT MUCH special to me, so from me to each and every one of you:

THANKS! GRACIAS! MERCI! DANKE! OBRIGADO! ARIGATOU! SIEH SIEH! SPASIBO!

Well, THAT is ALL I know at this moment, but I'm always willing to learn a new one, if anyone wants to teach me! ;)

ALL that aside, I hope you all have been doing well, and I hope you have been having a GREAT WEEKEND!

Be seein' ya!

HUGZ!!! ;)

UPDAT E (03/22/2009):

My first actual update since the holidays... And many things HAVE happened...

These last weeks have been a bit crazy (NOTHING new there!), but after the harshness of it, things have settled down for a bit... THANK GOD! Things got SO BAD, I was, honest to goodness, considering closing this (And ALL my other pages), and taking a leave of it all... Yeah, THAT bad!

But, all things considered, that simply is NOT my style... I take the punches, but I roll with them... I do not let them flatten me!

So, given this brief opportunity, I thought I'd post some new photos... Hope you all enjoy them!

And be seeing you all around!

HUGS!!!

UPDAT E (12/18/2008):

Hi Everyone!

I'm looking at my calendar, and we are only ONE WEEK away from Christmas! Where does the time go?!

Anyways, I'll be around during the holidays, since I will take some time off from work starting on that day, BUT in case things get a little crazy, or my internet connection goes on the fritz, I thought I would drop some Holiday wishes the best way I know how...

So, let's take it from the top, shall we?

From me, to ALL my friends, I wish to you a very:

Merry Christmas!
Feliz Navidad!
Shinnen Omedeto!
Joyeux Noel!
Fröhliche Weihnachten!
Buone Feste Natalizie!
Feliz Natal!
Kala Christouyenna!
Vrolijk Kerstfeest!
Sung Tan Chuk Ha!
God Jul!
Gajan Kristnaskon!

And, as my late mother used to say, "May this New Year be BETTER than the last one, BUT, not better than the one coming after!"

See you all Christmas Day!!

UPDATE (12/07/2008):

I owe an apology to many of my friends in this site...

If you've been in my list for a while, you've seen this happen before... My life can get pretty hectic at times, and it seems like I loose touch... I do not come here often as I like... I'm looking at my last update, and the only thing I can say is, "WOW! It HAS been a while!"

But, truth be told, a lot more than just work has happened... It has NOT been a very good year for me... Matter of fact, to say that it has been a very trying one would be sort of an understatement... I mean, when you start your year with a trip to the hospital, I take it that cannot be a very good omen...

I am not going to lie to you: I am still having problems adjusting to living here (And by 'here' I do not mean my place, but I mean the whole state of New Jersey!)... I am not going to kid myself about that anymore... I realized this the moment I realized that I have yet to find someplace, something, or someone, that will motivate me in any way to grow roots here, the way it happened in the past when I lived in Florida... I have given this so MANY tries... I've never been one to use the word 'depression' simply because I've always been, in heart, an optimist... Still, I have to admit THIS is currently the greatest test my optimism has been facing, and it is HARD to keep it up at times, and this hit me the moment I realized that because of this I would become so… Drained… Drained and exhausted to do several on the things that I like and I’ve had a passion for in the past… Things came to a head a little over a month ago, when some events that happened at the end of October made me realize this…

Since then, I’ve taken a bit of time to reassess things… Some dreams, as much as appealing as they were, as much as I hoped for them, I’ve had to…

You see, I simply do NOT want to use the words ‘give up’, since being the optimist that I am, using those words would be contrary to my nature… But I’ve realized I can no longer pine on those dreams, wondering what could be… Let just say those dreams have been ‘shelved’… I simply cannot do this to myself anymore… I have to move FORWARD now…

So, for those of you that STILL dropped by from time to time, that gave me votes, gifts, and even messages, you have my heartfelt gratitude… THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! In a very hard year, you were all my source of strength, and your kind words kept me going at times I almost contemplated in giving up on a lot of things... I have to say that special mention goes to Mim, Perly, Sydney, and a certain VERY sweet angel… This was not a very good year in many levels, but I will ALWAYS be thankful of having friends such as you…

There are less than 30 days of this year left… I can always hope, as my late mom used to say that, “May next year be better than the last one, but not better than the one coming after”

Hugz and kisses, with lots of luv, to each and every one of you!

Ok, once more, with feeling, here's the 411: I am just an old fashioned Hispanic who loves dancing with a passion, and tries to enjoy life to the fullest, living it day by day... When it comes to music, with the exception of Country music, I like just about anything I can dance to! I have a preference to 'Old School' I must admit... The time when R&B, Hip-Hop, and Rap were FUN! Back when LL Cool J was 'Bad' before he got you 'Headsprung', When Will Smith was 'The Fresh Prince' before he turned MIB, and when we begged, "Please Hammer, Don't hurt 'em" before he turned into the Funky Headhunter... ;-)

About You:

I look forward to meeting and making new friends from all over the world... And perhaps something more, but let's just get to that 'Friendship' milestone first, and we will see what it develops into from there, ok? But, just so that you know, the one I'm looking for will be romantic, patient, caring, understanding, playful, with a streak of mischief that just won't quit, a good sense of humor, bold, daring... Someone I could at least share some interests with (if you like dancing and/or working out at the gym those are big pluses!) and in the meantime perhaps get new ones! The kind of person I could take out one night and paint the town red, and the following I could just cuddle together with on a couch while having a 'Blockbuster Evening', while enjoying both with the same passion... So, Whadaya think?

Send me a message or send me a virtual gift.
