I love where I've been and I don't look back

About Me

Things that are most important to me are having a full life and having no regrets. I live to make memories for myself and others. All I want is to fall asleep every night exhausted and think "that was a great day"!Many people will walk in and out of your life, But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; To handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; If he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses much more; He who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself. Friends, you and me… You brought another friend… And then there were 3… We started our group… Our circle of friends… And like that circle… There is no beginning or end… Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. A good friend recently talked to me about the power behind our words. Speak with positivity, and you put positivity out into the world. Speak with negativity... and I'm sure you can fill in the rest. I've been doing my best to be a positive influence and support to my friends and loved ones, and I'm noticing that somehow the greatest, most positive words and feelings keep coming back to me.

My Interests

I love to travel. I mean really travel. And, not for 48-72 hours. I really prefer to spend 2-3 weeks somewhere. Not at the Hyatt either, I prefer to get an apartment and actually live and learn about the culture. And,I never eat at a McDonalds while traveling.

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy meeting all kinds of people. I suppose the right answer here would be Ghandi or Bono but they are just people like everyone else. I once met an 80 year old lady on the streets of Budapest and had an amazing conversation with her over coffee. She told me all about what is was like during the war and later the occupation by the Russians. WOW! I don't think any celebrity could have enriched my life any better than that.

Music:

Better than Ezra, Damien Rice, Water Lillies, Trinity, Metallica, Guns and Roses, Dr. Dre, among others.

Movies:


| View Show | Create Your Own

Television:

Don't watch much of it. But, if I have to watch, I watch sports or cop shows. I guess pretty typical guy stuff.

Books:

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

Heroes:

MY mom!! Average people who challenge themselves to do great things. Immigrants who give everything to chase a dream. Anyone that commits to tough goal like running a marathon or going back to college. I have met some VERY famous and wealthy people and they are just that, people. It takes a lot to impress me and wealth and fame are not it.
