If you want to see a Wonder.... i suggest you take a look at yourself

About Me

Me hmmm. I have lived in Dublin all my life. I have 3 sons and a daughter all grown up now. My sons have left Ireland for pastures new but my daughter still lives with me. I kinda described myself in the General piece on the left there. I try to look on the bright side of life and not let things get me down. My philosophy is simple. We are all here to love and be loved.... that's it. I love music and cannot let a day go by without hearing some form of music.

My Interests

Music is my passion.........don't get me started! I just do now know where I would be without it. I also love living...talking....flirting....laughing....touching...hugs. ..kisses.... meditation.... my kids.....surprises, being with my friends..... making new friends.... being around people in general.... surfing the web.... Myspace.... New York,... Italy...the Irish countryside, photography....travelling.... being at the end of a runway about to take off.... going to live gigs to see my fave bands play.... walking with my mp3 player in my ears playing my fave music...... crosswords.... sunsets and sunrises fascinate me..... I love flying above the clouds and looking down on them and seeing sunrises or sunsets from an airplane.... one of the most beautiful sights in the world.... the ocean....book shops..... reading good books.... watching good films... hot baths.... good coffee.... red wine... blue cheese, .... did I say music? Oh i love men too, can't figure them out for the life of me but love them all the same.Things that I don't like or I just do not have time for include........... queueing, meanness of spirit, organized religions, impatient drivers, soap operas, reality tv shows,relationships ending badly, grey skies, litter bugs, lonliness, rudeness,negative moaning people, or people that say they are bored.
