The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday

About Me

I don't like these sections much. What do you want to know that you can't just ask? One of the few born, raised and living in L.A. Family from NZ. Athletic on the whole but not rabidly so – fit, but some say very fit. Close with family. Attended University, worked in consulting, assistant director's training program, lived overseas a few years and now develop real estate in urban areas trying to make it just a little better place to live while making a living in the process. I have a lot of interests and those that know me personally consider me a 'jack of all trades', master of a few'. Love to travel and can be called a fanatic about that. Curious about nearly everything but it is how I learn. Always want to learn and do new things. A good friend to those whom I call my friends. Pretty open about life so for the rest just ask.

My Interests

Surfing, Biking, Blading, Skiing (learning to Snowboard), Hiking, Gym & Reading by Day. Music, Friends, a drink or three, movies and general carousing by Night. Travel all the time, any time!

I'd like to meet:

You!

Music:

U2, Sting, Robbie Williams, Seal, Marley, oh man, this is going to take forever. Wide, wide range of music. Ah, if you really want to know just ask :-)

Movies:

The Godfather(s), Big Wednesday, Gallipoli, Legends of the Fall, Shawshank Redemption, It's a Wonderful Life, Lawrence of Arabia, Matrix Trilogy, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Star Wars Sextology(?), Indiana Jones(s), Bridge Over the River Kwai, Sand Pebbles, Last of the Mohicans, Finding Forrester, Old Bonds (Connery and some Moore), Saving Private Ryan, Good Will Hunting, Braveheart, The Red Violin and the list goes on...I love movies

Television:

Don't watch much TV and when I do it is usually movie channels. Right now...Apprentice and some mindless shows that let me relax and not have to think. That covers most of TV though, doesn't it?!

Books:

Authors: Uris, Hemmingway, Rice, King, Clancey, Dickens, London, Griffin

Heroes:

Those who at great personal risk stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. Those who risk everything for others they hardly know or have never met because they know it is the right thing to do. Guys like the City of NY firemen who run up into burning towers when all the smart people are running out.

Getting Sick

I hate getting sick.  I have a cold, again.  That is three for the year and it is crap!  I feel like 20 year old Mike Tyson's punching bag, up at 01:35 without sleep in sight while my f...

Anticipation in the Course of Time, Hope Eternal's Protectorate

Lost in the World

Every once in a while I feel as if I might have lost myself. No, not a Mike Meyer's routine from Austin Powers, "Where can I be?".   It is more like standing on a lightly sloping hill looking ove...

Self-Defeat

Do you know the difference between a calamity and a tragedy? A calamity is a natural disaster and as such is unavoidable. A tragedy is human, and could have been avoided. That's what makes it a traged...

Having Money is Great. Making Money is a Pain in the Arse.

Why is this so true? I have become a slave to the $. It's addicting. I wonder if they have a patch?!

Who you are...and what you can be

Remember that you are an actor in a drama, of such a part as it may please the master to assign you, for a long time or for a little as he may choose. And if he will you to take the part of a poor man...
