Do you have a good sense of humor and enjoy laughter? Are you someone who values life and learns from the lessons it presents?

If you answered yes to both questions then it's a pleasure to meet you! And it's a possibility that we could become friends!

(Insert your name here) -> _______________ it's nice to meet you, my name is Paul. "Smile." I am 28 years of age, 6'5" tall and am a Scorpio • 11•6•81 ("Please do not prejudge me based solely on my Zodiac constellation.")! Without trying to come off as being self-centered or conceited, I'm fairly good looking or pleasing to the eye, this is derived purely from my encounters with the opposite sex and what they have led me to conclude. (See Pictures)

But looks are superficial and will one day fade, a person's true beauty is defined by a unique blend of their culture, spirit and character. I don't like to indulge in playing mind games with people unless warranted too, and I am alarmingly honest, almost to a fault. I'm an optimistic person with a pessimistic rationale, i.e.,; anything is possible, but not always probable. I'm a very genuine, sociable person who enjoys being around family and in the company of those who are warm, confident, sincere, loyal and secure with who they are as an individual.

I'm a very upbeat, energetic, athletic individual. The minute I awake I'm up with all of my faculties functioning. "I love the outdoors," and enjoy fishing, hiking, mountain-bike riding, running and playing football and basketball among'st other physical activities. As my current situation will permit there's only so much that I can do with my time. So I spend it studying, keeping physically in shape, avoiding the drama that takes place around me and by reading various literature (I have a voracious thirst for obtaining knowledge) that can help me to improve upon and further cultivate myself and that's interesting/thought-provoking. All of this is done while I further endeavor upon my relationship with the Creator. Basically evolving daily, physically, mentally and spiritually, or as I have coined it "perfecting my trifecta."

I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area by both of my loving parents who instilled in me and my seven siblings (whom I refer to as my kids, and am the eldest of) a strong sense of family among'st other values such as honesty, loyalty and sincerity which I still live by to this day. In essence, I'm blessed to be part of a large beautiful family who supports me mentally, spiritually, financially and emotionally through my current predicament.

Just to be clear in my intentions, I'm not approaching you on no quest for love or anything of that nature. I'm simply looking for a pen-pal per se to discuss life in general with while exchanging philosophies and partaking in intellectual stimulation. However, the heart is such a tricky organ, one never truly knows what it is capable of until faced with a situation.

In your response, I would like for you to inform me a little bit about yourself such as what makes you "you" ("unique") and in doing so don't be hesitant to speak your mind (I'm not here to judge) or ask me whatever comes to mind. I'll hold no punches and would appreciate it if you did the same.

Until then, take care of yourself and remain open, observant and patient with all that life presents...
