About Me

My life priorities are my 3 amazing children, then my work. Everything else has to wait in line ;) I'm 46, live and own a business in Kissimmee. I'm 5" 11" with short brown hair (it used to be really long...still unsure if I like it short or not) and blue eyes. I like music, movies, books, games, travel. I used to scuba dive and really miss it. I'm a black belt in Tae Kwon Do but honestly I haven't trained lately...I'd like to start again soon but those first two things in the first sentence are a happy constant for me. (Psst...that means I have no free time)
I enjoy most travel and though virtually all of my travel is for business, I try to set aside a few days for sightseeing when I'm in a special place. I've been to Central America twice recently. I've been to Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and hope to journey to China soon to see the great wall. I love the Caribbean but my work never takes me there :( Generally I travel once or twice per month, usually on weekends.I enjoy reading, usually as an escape. I like fantasy, sci-fi and other fiction. Some history too, and books on different religions. I particularly like learning about the different Asian Philosophies like Buddhism and Taoism.Oh, and I'm an internet junkie. I have a small store in Kissimmee and we run about 100 auctions weekly on ebay, plus the 'net is where I get my news, music, etc.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Some people with similiar interests, and some with complete opposite lifestyles. Age race sex isn't a big deal with me. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. I am a firm believer that life is about others. Meeting others and getting to know the world a bit better from a different perspective is one of the greatest things we can do for ourselves. So drop me a line, let's get together for something. If we like each other that's great...if not, that's cool too. We'll still both be a little more comfortable with the world after we've met.

be nice

So as I sit here flipping back and forth between the History channel and some cartoons, I'm compelled to write some thoughts.  I'm recovering from a minor surgery and have some time to read, pond...

Finding old friends...

can be easy and fun, but what do you do when you find someone then regret it?  I recently saw a childhood friend of mine...we hung out, had some laughs but this person is sort of...well...he's a ...
