Someday I'll slow down!!

About Me

I have been working abroad as a contracted electrician for about 13 years and have worked/been in over 40 countries. I enjoy other cultures very much, and I have a very low tolerance for people that have their whole lives been given everything, and expect more to be handed to them because of where they are from. I believe if you want something, you should work hard for it, and even harder to keep it. I believe we are a Country of immigrants, and that is what makes us stronger, but somehow some have forgotten that... I do not totally believe in the War in Iraq, or some of George Bush's policies...But I support the Troops 100%, my Countries actions toward terrorism, and I do respect the office of the President, right or wrong. I am currently working in India, and expect to be in Eastern Europe in the middle of 2004.

My Interests

Travelling and working in other countries, and enjoying other cultures. With my job, I am directing/working with the locals most of the time. I enjoy rugby football, having played for 13 years...I'm to busy to play nowadays, so a good local match is something I look forward to. I enjoy old motorcycles and have several Harleys. I think family and friends are the most important thing in my life.

I'd like to meet:

People that are confident in themselves and their abilities, and do not judge others by appearance, ethnicity, or amount of money they make.

Music:

I enjoy all types of music, from Celtic to Jazz, Blues, and Rock and Roll...I don't get Rap music, everybody swearing and shooting...I guess it's not meant for me anyhow.

Movies:

Living abroad means that I don't get all the media hype that strikes the hearts and minds as new movies come out. I have to wait for most of it to come out on dvd...I do enjoy old films, war and patriotic movies, action and mystery, and like most people, I think films like "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" and "The Big Lewbowski" are hilarious.

Television:

I don't watch much TV...I think it represents everything that is wrong with society today. We have become zombies and slaves to the idiot box.

Books:

I read a lot, about a book a week, and currently I am into James Michener, Dan Brown, and the Literary classics.

Heroes:

My Brothers, Patrick, James and John. My best Friend Don, and anyone in the Marine Corps.
