About Me

I've learned, to be happy - don't add to your possessions, but subtract from your desires...I've learned - that asking the right question is sometimes better than saying the right thing.I've learned - that fear is the opposite of faith, like hate and love. The one binds us, the other sets us free.I've learned - that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.I've learned - that who we become is more valuable than what we become in this world.I've learned - that it's not what happens to people that's important. It's what they do about it.I've learned - that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.I've learned - that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.I've learned - that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.I've learned - that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.I've learned - that either you control your attitude or it controls you.I've learned - that it's a lot easier to react than it is to think.I've learned - that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.I've learned - that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.I've learned - that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.I've learned - that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.I've learned - that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.I've learned - that there are many ways of falling and staying in love.....and so LIFE IS PERFECT, EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD BE - ITS OUR PERCEPTION OF HOW IT SHOULD BE THAT TROUBLES US.

My Interests

Listening to music and playing drums and percussion anytime anyplace on anything or anyone - its my passion and my life...other than that, i am a "jack of all trades" and i love people, food, wine, sleep, traveling, any art in any form that moves me and evokes emotion, going to gigs, playing gigs, pillows, necks, cooking, loving, duvets, smelling, talking, feet, driving, braaing, yawning, hugging, sheets, typing, tasting, lips, stretching, shopping, working, sleeping, spooning, grooving, jamming and all things that make me feel alive.
