About Me

I am putting this site together to reflect things I have found interesting, inspiring, humorous, and motivating. I am including things that I am passionate about as well. So, before anyone panics and thinks I have gone over the edge, off the deep end, out in left field, or just plain nuts...RELAX. I am still me. I may be showing you a part of me you never realized before.I am a simple man. I live a simple life. I love my family and friends very much. And I love to spend time with them. But I greatly value my private time. I love to spend time in my garden with my plants and flowers. I also love to read, write, play the piano, cook, and travel.But, most important of all, to me, is to be able to laugh. I laugh at everything especially myself! I can find humor in everything around me. I will laugh at the most inopportune times about the current situation. More than once this has caused me to be considered rude. In all actuality though I am really a deeply caring person.I am always welcoming of new friends and would love to hear from you. Message me or IM me anytime you are on here. Let's share a good laugh!!! :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would enjoy spending a few days with the following people. I would very much like the opportunity to sit and talk candidly about many things that they are interested in, their beliefs, disbeliefs, their motivation for their actions and why. These folks are Aristotle, Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, Barack Obama, Osama Bin Laden, His Holiness John Paul II, and John the Beloved.
