I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Love not the possessions you have nor the fortunes you may gain, hold love in that which you do. Your possessions will rune, your fortunes spent - only your deeds will stand the test of time.

My Interests

Living for the moment... carpe diem

I'd like to meet:

Cool people who have a head on their shoulders and a path in life. Pretentious people... need not apply :-P

If I add you / request you as a friend it means I actually want to talk to you not just add an extra "1" to your counter.

Music:

Trance, Drum&Bass, House, Dance, and for some reason Baroque and anything with Spanish Guitar in it... ahhh flamenco

Movies:

I'm a fan of saga's or trilogies... or movies with heavy plot...soo... LOTR, StarWars, Thin Red Line

Television:

SNL, Las Vegas

Books:

Right now? - Fortune and The Economist... sure it's a dry read... but this is the kind of info "Fox Newz" won't tell you about :-P

My Blog

Bright and early in the morning we're off to the factory. A 5min ride away from the hotel, it was very close.  But, I would have preferred it to be farther due in part to me liking our driver Dav...
