CHARLITO

Remember that time we tried to milk that ostrich at the zoo and that dude......um, me neither...

About Me

Let's see. I think it's about time I updated this thing. Nutshell version. Not lookin' for love or somekind of 'met her on myspace' romance! I'm not selling anything and don't wish to buy anything, thanks anyway. :) I go by a slew of nicknames if the one I post doesn't come to mind, I'm sure one of these will: Charlie, Donkey, Charlito, Chivo, Columbus, Cheeves, Chaz, Carlo, Donkey Boy, El Burro, Il Asino, Magellan, Sir Charles, Duece Pitt, Cherry Boy, Goose, Soup, Il Americano, etc.... If you don't know any of those, well you may have called me something else or..... nice to meet you. I've been living in Italy since 2001 (3 long years in Aviano)and on a little Italian island called Sardinia for the last couple of years. I'm 100% proud American and really don't call one state my home because I moved around so much. As for my roots, they reach throughout Southern Cali, Northern Wisconsin, Colorado, Phoenix and a lot of cities and states in between. I've visited and worked in a slew of countries including Canada, Belgium, Holland, Korea, Mexico, Germany, Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Turkey, England, etc..... I've picked up a few words in every country but mainly only speak English, Italian and can slowly stumble my way through some Spanish. I did a bit over 9 years for the US Air Force as an F-16 Avionics/Electrician and finally got out a couple of years back. I loved my job but I guess wanting to be able to grow facial hair was more important. :) I'm really laid back for the most part. Serious only when I have to be. Family and friends are always the most important for me. To know me is to laugh so I like to be around the same kind. Any chance I get to make someone smile or laugh is the best opportunity I could ask for. I now teach Italians English at a private language school. I guess you could say that if I'm not busy, I'm not happy. I love to meet people from all over the world and hear what everyone has to say. I guess that's about it. There's a bunch of other useless info for your boredom pleasure in the other sections. Later, C

My Interests

I wanted to be a male model, but it turns out I'm not so good looking. - Adam Sandler - Big Daddy

Nothing encourages creativity like the chance to fall flat on one's face. - James D. Finley

Interests (talents, forced skills) - I really wanted to enter my adult life as an artist or comedian but soon found out that school was too expensive and I really didn't like the thought of scrounging through garbage cans for food. On that note, my interests soon changed to the military where I learned the art of fixing just about anything electrical on a jet aircraft. Now, I love electricity and it has shockingly loved me back a few times. :) I'm a person who loves to learn. If something is broken, I will try to fix it whether it be your toaster, computer, car or the always broken intercom system in your apartment, you can bet I've had some experience in it. Now I teach English to Italians and own a travel agency. Call me a forced hypocrite in many ways. Who would have thought?! Please don't tell me that I can't do something because I will put all my heart into proving you wrong. I love meeting people who have a good sense of humor, optimistic, forward thinking and put family and friends above everything else. I still occasionally draw, have been known to write a few good poems, play a mean game of darts and put myself in the position of being the life of a party. All in all, my main interest in this life is to give my son the world and make him and others smile. Any and all "jack-of-all-trades" titles and jobs I acquire along the way are for that main goal.

I'd like to meet:

A good psychiatrist! :) Besides that, everyone. I'm networking globally. I've seen a lot of the world and found that everyone that I meet has their own interesting factors and sense of humor. Plus you'll never know how clever, funny, intelligent or interesting a person is until you meet them. In the interest of friendship - networking I would really like to meet people from other countries and stay in touch with those I know already.I find being friends with someone not only betters yourself as a whole but also gives you a friendly welcome in whatever country your life takes you.

Music:

My parents were in a country band in California when I was a kid so I grew up being forced fed steel guitars and twang. Naturally I rebelled. I actually preferred Hendrix, The Beatles, The Everly Brothers, Big Band music like The Glenn Miller Orchestra and old Blues and Jazz. An odd mix for a kid, I know. After spending my high school years in a po-dunk town in Wisconsin, and having to listen to the same 5 crappy pop songs the whole time, I joined the military and learned what music was. My best friend got me listening to Pink Floyd and Zepplin, other friends rap and hip-hop and going to house parties in Phoenix, I was more than bound to start listening to groups like Disturbed, Static X and Marilyn Manson. Then, coming around full circle, I had the friends that forced me to start going to Country bars. I'll just say the crowd enviroment made me gain a taste for the music again.You'd think by the length of this music explaination that I was some famous musician that was telling you his musical influences. Oh no, it's the absolute contrary. My whole family plays instruments and sings like birds. Me on the other hand can't sing Happy Birthday without starting a chorus with the neighborhood hounds. Anyway, suffice to say, I like all music pretty much and I AM BORED OUT OF MY F..@*ING MIND RIGHT NOW!!!

Old Tale
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw. As every shovel of dirt hit his back, the donkey did something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed, as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off.
The moral: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt, the trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
O.K., that's enough of that B.S.. The donkey later came back, caught the farmer out in the field and kicked THE SHIT out of him.
Then he went over to each of his neighbors farms and kicked the shit out of them too for helping.
The REAL Moral: When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to get you!!!!
My hero was Pee Wee Herman until he got caught in the theatre, ...well you know.
