Marinating the Soul Since 1971

About Me

..

I am a highly motivated invidual with a heart of gold and full of life with a beautiful genuine old-soul. Do not misinterpret my kindness with weakness. I am an open book with many pages and chapters and like all good reads, you have to take all the words together (the bad and the good ones) to make me a complete masterpiece. I live my life from a few books as my life itself is a novel .... SO, do not judge this book by its soft soothing exterior as there lies the heart of a true champion inside; Im just letting you think you can beat me! I am very balanced and I understand the difference between knowledge and wisdom; what is your definition of them? I intend on travelling thoroughly as there is so much to experience while living this fleeting existence. Its a term we are all too familiar with but sometimes choose to neglect its mere presence rather than accept it and move on... and that is: Life, it happens.... Just a few tidbits about me: I like to communicate, read, write, travel, dance, camp, snowboard, laugh, ole sot with the bushmills and guiness(hey,im irish), learn, make money (only to give it away), entrepenuer, ying yang, balance and all that other crap... but if you really want to try and get to know the real me, I dare you step up and try as I doubt there are many others out there like me you have ever met.... for better or for worse, that is how it is... and the sooner you start to accept and let go of the things that hold you back will you be able to move forward. Then will you be live! Then, and only then, will you ever be able to get to where you need to be! Also understand that when you make a decision be aware that you are signing a waiver on the soul that you have to accept not only the known consequences, but also those that are not forseen... It's all good, So sit down, shut the fuk up and see if this here book is a worthy read because I guarantee you have never experienced anything like me before on this ride of life....... and be sure to marinate your soul along the way! See you on the flip side! B*rad
