I was raised by a very Italian man whose name would have been Salvatore Cannizzo and he will be remembered as such in my eyes. He was a good father, excellent provider and a good businessman. Hence, he influences me everyday and when I work, I can hear him. As a family, we owned and operated an Italian Restaurant in Homestead Florida in the 80's. I grew up in Homestead Florida, where hurricane Andrew obliterated my home town neiborhood (I wasnt' there when it happened). In Florida, I learned to like the beach, oysters, Jimmy Buffet, and lots of swimming. If I had stayed in Florida, I would have turned into a dope-smokin, mango eatin, deep-sea fishin, scuba-divin, hammock sleepin parrothead. I was good at track in high school and ran the hurdles. My good father is poor and lives somewhere in rural Okeechobbee. My good mother is semi-quasi rich and own a million dollar home in Urban Orlando. With all that I experienced in Florida, living in Montana has really taught me to appricate a nice weather day when it happens. I have typical generation x values: I distrust big institutions that I don't know about, I don't like living by too many rules, I am a non-conformist, I don't like it when people wear the same clothes as me, I did (at one point as a teenager) have an identity crisis. I reject status, money and social climbing so typical of baby-boomers. I personally only want what I want out of life and since luxury is alot cheaper, I only have to worry about having fun at work and enjoying what I do. I put a higher priority on happiness. I HATE lables. I can't stand them. I definetely embrace risk and I am highly independent, sometimes aloof. It has been said that I lack interpersonal skills but that maybe because I do from time to time. I place a high priority on parenting and I think I might have overindulged my children. Oh, Well, I'll work on that. Im not a work-a-holic but I do try to work hard if I really want something.
Who I'd like to meet:
If you like pina-coladas, and gettin' caught in the rain, if your not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain, if you like makin' love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape, I'm the love that you looked for....write to me and escape. Yes, I like pina-coladas, and gettin' caught in the rain, I'm not much into health food, I am into champaign, I got to meet you by tommorrow noon, at the bar in O'Mallys, where we will plan our escape
