About Me

When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.
- Jacques-Yves Cousteau

Be proud, to wear the colours that you call your own
Be loud, speak out when you want the world to know
Be strong, hold the flame for everyone to see
Be weak, if you want to love
- Fra Lippo Lippi, Light and Shade

So this is who I am,
And this is all I know,
And I must choose to live,
For all that I can give,
The spark that makes the power grow
And I will stand for my dream if I can,
Symbol of my faith in who I am.
- Celine Dion, Immortality

Proper decorum.

If you have been paying attention lately, things are getting nasty out there. I started noticing this about five years ago or so. I just thought it would soon pass but it looks like it is here to say...

Greed.

Those who know me will tell you I don't ask for too much. Just $10 million. I don't buy lottery tickets when the prize money is over $10 million. What I want is more than enough for me to spend in th...

There's always something going on every minute. A little kid abducted ... a pretty girl missing ... somebody, somewhere was a victim of a heinous crime. A lot of these don't get any media coverage at...
