More About Me

I'm passionate about

Anything I attempt.

An idea worth spreading

I have a little green book for that exact purpose...and when I die, some kid is going to find it and make a FORTUNE from it.

Talk to me about

Whatever suits your fancy, but at least let me photograph it ...sugar.

People don't know that I'm good at

  A comment on Conversation: What are 5 things you have learned that has completely changed your life?

  Jun 7 2012: 1) People generally want to help you and see you succeed...even at the cost of losing themselves.
  2) Stop hesitating in going after the things you want. Pounce it like a stalking tiger.
  3) Travel the back roads - EVERYWHERE you go.
  4) Men and their penis-driven agendas are messing up the world.
  5) Women are the answer to fixing that penis-driven agenda.

  A comment on Conversation: What is your biggest regret so far?

  Jun 7 2012: The amount of time and energy I waste trying to get friends and family around me to LIVE their lives to the fullest. It's a catch 22 of sorts: If I go out and do what I want, when I want it... then I'm labeled anti-social and self-absorbed. But if I sit around trying to cheer lead others into joining me...I never get to do what my heart desires. I've finally gotten myself to the point where I ask once if they want to go with me...give them a second to decide - then I go with no regrets. I only wished it didn't take me to my late 40's to develop this mindset.
