This page is dedicated to the struggles that I have had as a father... I previously used this page to stay informed and to inform others of historical and political issues, due to my pending court case (his mother wants more money) I am forced to change my page.
A litle about my two beautiful children...
My daughter Ashley is, and always will be Daddy's little girl. She is 16 years old and shares many of my passions. We both are addicted to the study of history, philosophy and world politics. One day we will change the world for the better.
I LOVE you Ashley!!
Blessed be the Most High...Ja Rastafari!!
Our shared love of travel took us to Cairo...
Right and wrong does not matter to family court, PAY her and keep her off of welfare so the state does not have to take care of her... that is what matters.
My son Dimitri is one of my best friends.
I try to spend as much time with him as possible but it is always a struggle since I can only see him when his mother allows, which recently has been about 5 or 6 hours per week. She theN turns around and uses this to claim that I am a dead beat! Dimitri... I LOVE YOU and I will not stop fighting for you...
One of my favorite pastimes... horse-playing with my son...
A little about myself...
I work 40 hours a week, and my small paycheck goes to paying my monthly bills. After the Department of Revenue takes a chunk of what little I make, the rest is spent on my living expenses.
I am a grad student (studying World History) and I love to read, write and study world history, especially Latin American History and Culture. When I am not at work or with my children I spend all of my free time researching, reading and writing.
Brotherly love... at its best... this is what goes on when I can have both of my children on the same day...
Another example... is this not the way it should be...?
When my son is in the room - everyone smiles...
My fiancee Paola, Hugo, my sister Cathy, my father and me and my son... these are happy times... WE ALL MISS YOU DIMITRI...
I love to travel and see the world so I managed to become a travel guide and lecturer. In return for a "free ride" I make travel arragements and lecture on tours to Israel, Egypt, Turkey and Greece. When I can I take my children with me... my daughter has traveled with me to 4 countries... my son on the otherhand has expressed interest in traveling with me but his mother will not allow it. Imagine how much he would learn from such an experience!! You are robbing him of such a valuable experience!!
Why do the courts allow this? If I miss a child support payment - JAIL TIME - if she steals time away from me and my son... NOTHING!
One of the worst things a parent can do is alienate thier children...
DISLIKES:
I do not like people that only talk about what they want to do, but never really try to accomplish anything. I work very hard to make sure that I achieve all of my dreams. I sacrifice, I pinch-pennies and I put a lot of hours into making my dreams a reality...
I also do not like people that try to get by stealing from others. Again, I work very hard to get and keep what I have, I do not need handouts or money that I did not work for... if you want something, work to obtain it - DO NOT STEAL IT FOR OTHERS!!
I really do not know... that is just how we roll!!
In closing - Jesus, whether you believe in him or not thought valuable lessons - most importantly, when asked what was the most important he replied... "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as you love yourself."
So love each other and treat each other well... any person that claims to be religious or have any faith cannot deny that!!
My greatest weapon against an enemy has been to smile.
And so, I present my east and my west.
My greatest weapon against an enemy has been to excel.
And so, I sail on every opportunity a new day brings.
My greatest weapon against an enemy has been to survive.
For after they’ve tried choking the life out of me with weapons of hate, I keep finding life moving on to become something great.
I dont let such words get me down, they have become my higherground.
"Perhaps when I die my friends will write on my tombstone, "here lies a dreamer" and my enemies perhaps they will write; "here lies a madman". But let no one write, "here lies a coward and a traitor to his ideals!"
-Ricardo Flores Magon
"I came to America because of the great, great freedom which I heard existed in this country. I made a mistake in selecting America as a land of freedom, a mistake I cannot repair in the balance of my life."
-Albert Einstein
God’s everywhere. God’s in the effort, God’s in the struggle, whether that’s for civil rights or creative expression. God’s always in the struggle with us.
-Anne Lamott
My son sent me this pic telling me that he misses me... I miss you too baby!!
Para mi Paolita... you and I belong together!!
Of all the quotes you have sent me this is my favorite...
“When I wake up in the morning, I think of you…
When I go to sleep at night, I think of you…
& for all those hours in between I think of us.â€
TE QUIERO MAS Y MAS CADA DIA...
"To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage." -- Lao Tzu
Con mi esposa en Sacred Valley...
We as men must fight a system that is biased and destroys our familes... want the facts, look into how living with just one parent affects children... beware... it is only a matter of time before something goes terribly wrong... stand up for your children!! And journey on psychology will list all the negative affects... READ AND LEARN!!
More of the "DARK YEARS" when I was not present in my son's life...
QUOTES FOR THE MONEY HUNGRY EXPLOITERS!!
Whatever happiness is in the world has arisen from a wish for the welfare of others; whatever misery there is has arisen from indulging selfishness.
-Buddhist proverb
Greed is an imperfection that defiles the mind; hate is an imperfection that defiles the mind; delusion is an imperfection that defiles the mind.-Buddha
It is in everybody's interest to seek those [actions] that lead to happiness and avoid those which lead to suffering. And because our interests are inextricably linked, we are compelled to accept ethics as the indispensable interface between my desire to be happy and yours.
-His Holiness the Dalai Lama
-Beverley Mitchell
In Buddhism, the source of moral authority is the causal law. Be kind, be just, be humane, be honest if you desire to crown your future. Dishonesty, cruelty, inhumanity will condemn you to a miserable fall.
-Soyen Shaku
Love more persons more--love them more impersonally, more unselfishly, without thought of return. The return, never fear, will take care of itself.
-Henry Drummond
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.-Charles Swindoll
I Corinthians 13:11
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
In other words (so your ghetto ass can understand)- GROW THE FUCK UP!!!!
And finally a message from the Buddhist masters - to the glutton...
If you keep thinking "That man has abused me," holding it as a much-cherished grievance, your anger will never be allayed. If you can put down that fury-inducing thought, your anger will lessen. Fury will never end fury, it will just ricochet on and on. Only putting it down will end such an abysmal state.-Sunnata Vagga
