I am here for Friends

About Me

Raised on Oahu. Grew up in Laguna Beach, and Kailua. Worked in Honolulu, and Retired a few years back. Own a home on Lake Hamilton.Mostly in Italy & Greese for the next few weeks.Life has been very nice to me. Ocean sports are my favorite. I read and have a large library. My favorite places are Fiji and Tahiti.When I die I want to bring a suit-case full of good memories with out any incidents hurting any body.

My Interests

Ocean Sports, commodity trading, cruies ships.

I'd like to meet:

Successful, retired, well traveled people that like to help others. The real war is hunger, disease, starvation and global warming. I commend those who influence the world leaders who can make a difference. There are many things that can be done on a local level. Additionally, we can all make a difference on a personal level.Influence your friends to eat less, drink less, exercise more and stay drug free.You will be surprised at how the world changes when you do positive things. The problems of the world seem to evaporate. Give it a try.

Music:

Everything but RAP.

Movies:

Action movies. OH! and music DVD's.

Television:

I like the network shows. I am getting sick of reality shows.

Books:

I've read so many books I can't count them all. I would guess over 300. I would have to mention that HOMER is my favorite. Most books I enjoy are over a hundred years old. Reading the "Best Seller" list is a waste of time for me. Especially, the books on current events.

Heroes:

All people that take time to help others. Have you ever saved a life. Would you give some one C.P.R. Will you risk your life to save some one else.Lastly, I believe that helping good people will bring back good karma. Conversely helping evil people will bring home bad karma. I am careful who I help.
