I am a graphic designer/3D animator, who is open minded, honest, polite, compassionate, sensitive, generous, kind and very creative person. I was born in the North of England and moved to Canada as a boy. I have dual citizenship,still. I am a lover of all genres of music and one who appreciates all forms of art. I am never without music. I also love all of earth's creatures, plant, animal and human, and show equal respect and kindness to everyone and everything. I firmly believe in the concept of Paying it Forward. If someone asks me for help, I will gladly give it, as long as they do something to help others, as well, in the future. I just wish there was more respect and kindness in the world today, and I hope by my everyday actions, people will learn that it's always better to be kind and respectful to others. It benefits all of us.
I like all things creative, music, computer art, books, movies, cooking, photography, painting, drawing, sculpture and multimedia. I am also a great lover of animals. We should all take better care of all our fellow creatures. Most of all I LOVE women, and thank God that they allow me to walk the planet among them.
One is enough.
One glance is enough to capture a heart.
One touch is enough to hold a life.
One word is enough to stop hate.
One kiss is enough to find what was lost.
One gesture is enough to give faith to another.
One day is enough to change our world forever.
One person is enough to help mankind.
One flower is enough to color our souls.
One whisper is enough to raise the voices of hundreds.
One is enough.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

I'd like to meet:
I would like to meet unique, creative, caring people who have a decent brain and something intelligent to say. Artists, photographers, poets, writers, musicians and filmakers are among my favourite people. I'm here trying to expand my circle of friends and contacts, with the hope of learning something new about other people, about their lifestyle, their culture and what they enjoy in life, and maybe to share some of my own thoughts. I also really appreciate someone who can make me laugh, and who loves music and art. I like people who are honest, polite, considerate and thoughtful, qualities that I possess myself. I also have a great love and respect, especially, for all women. Anyone who cares about the planet, other people and animals are among my favorite people.
Music:
I would be dead inside without music in my life! Music is with me, wherever I go. I believe all music is good. Just the fact that someone has taken the time to create and share their music is a great starting point. I have a vast selection of albums in my ever growing collection.

These are just a few of my favorites. It would take pages to list them all. As you can see, my musical tastes are as varied as my moods. Some of my favorite musicians are gone but they will never be forgotten, and I thank them all for the absolute joy that they have given to me in my life.
Movies:
I really enjoy comedies the most, like the Trains, Planes and Automobiles, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Dumb & Dumber, Me, Myself & Irene, but also anjoy thrillers like The Bourne Identity, Sleuth, Wait Until Dark, dramas like Crash, Trainspotting, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, In the Heat of the Night, The English Patient, and animated movies like The Chroncles of Narnia, Waking Life, A Bug's Life, and Toy Story. I am open to seeing any movie, though.
Television:
I don't watch too much television but when I do I LOVE The Simpsons, my absolute favourite of all time, any documentary on animals and the planet, construction and engineering, cooking shows, and how things are made.
Books:
I enjoy reading, and usually have a book or two on the go. I prefer thrillers and action fiction, by authors such as Robert Ludlum, Tom Clancy, John LeCarre, Frederic Forsythe, adventure stories by Wilbur Smith, Bryce Courtney and Edward Rutherford. I also enjoy Dean Koontz, Stephen King and Gary Jennings. Some other favorites are Peter Straub, Clive Cussler, Ken Follett, Dan Brown, Jean Auel and Eric Lustbader, among hundreds more. I've enjoyed reading a good story, my entire life.
Heroes:
John Lennon, for his tireless efforts promoting peace and love and for trying to help better the planet, Martin Luther King Jr. for demanding something we all take for granted, respect, dignity and equality, Bill Gates, for his philanthropy, Mother Theresa, for her absolute devotion to the poor and sick, all Doctors and Scientists who work to help find a cure for diseases, all policemen and firemen, for their bravery and courage, military personnnel, (even though I detest war), for sacrifices beyond belief and any person who goes above and beyond the call of duty to help others. Most of all my mother who raised 5 kids on her own. Now that's heroic.
