Hello there

About Me

I own and manage 2 finance broking franchises on the eastern side of Melbourne, and have done for the last 6 years. I love life and every day is a ball! It really is. It's fun being me! : ) I used to be married (9 years), but no longer am. I'm not bitter about my marriage split. I got married pretty young. I have travelled to a lot of places around the world. All travelling does for me is reaffirm what a great country it is that I live in. I love sport and I really like my own company. The simple things in life are the best things I think. I love it when the sun comes out. I'm relieved when it poor's with rain - it's not as if we don't need it. Either way, I feel I win. Money does not make me happy and does not solve my problems. Being financially capable though, means that I can arrive at my problems in style. I'm grateful for everything. I have 2 girls from my previous marriage. I love them with every ounce of my heart. I hate political correctness. If something is politically correct, it comes about generally at the expense of the truth. But I'm not politically incorrect at the expense of the truth. At heart, my underlying skill is sales. I cannot sell ice to Eskimos though (unless they have a need for it). Maybe if an Eskimo came to Australia, I could sell ice to them around Christmas. I spoke to GOD last night. He gave me the same response he always does - absolute bloody silence. Still they tell me he's there. He talks to people in different ways apparently. With me, he lets me know he's there by saying nothing and pretending that he's not there. But if I dream hard enough, maybe I can make him real one-day. I hate global warming preachers that fly solo in planes. I love Ricky Ponting, he's the best batsman I've ever had the pleasure of watching. I’ve seen and played against so many good cricketers all around the world, but Punter is the MAN. I love the antics of Anthony Mundine. He says he'll do something, he'll brag about it, everyone will hate him for it, and then he does it! How many people can do that? Maybe he goes too far, but his confidence and the way he goes about tackling his fears, is something I admire.
