Nong

The past is history. Tomorrow's a mystery. Today's a gift. That's why it's called the PRESENT.

About Me

Intellectually curious, I'm a voracious reader....I'll pick up anything to read...books, magazines, newspapers, periodicals. I'm a huge fan of Tom Clancy's works. I can chat with you about meaningless things just to kill time, or have deep (bottom of the ocean) conversations on current political, economic and social events in the world.When the weather's nice, I keep busy smacking tennis balls around with friends. Also, my golfing buddies are extremely glad when I go shooting 9 or 18 holes on the course. I suppose I'm more of a "hacker" than anything, but it's really fun.Of course I do the clubbing thing about once or twice a month or if it's somebody's birthday. Otherwise, I tend to chill on the weekends.I suppose you could say I'm an avid traveler, especially overseas. Been to Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, Paris, Nice, Cannes, Monacco, Venice, Barcelona, Antwerp, & Taiwan.Family and friends are very important to me. They act as my guide during Life's trials and tribulations. They are the ones with whom I share my moments of happiness, pain, successes and failures. I truly believe no matter how strong we are or think we are, being able to draw strength and encouragement from a structure of friends and family is key to keeping sane in this sometimes insane world.I strive for excellence in everything I do. I believe if it's not worth doing right, then don't do it at all!Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
