About Me

I know God, I live for Yahweh. Jesus is in my life, and the Holy Spirit consumes me. I live for family. I love my friends. I love Sara, I'm whatever that means. I feed off people’s excitement! – [Iron sharpens Iron] I have to be doing something all the time, when I die I will be cremated because I hate the idea of being stuck in a box, (labelled for that matter, I don’t measure myself by other peoples giftings),Better still, - when I die, just leave me to rot on the lounge and keep the TV on and a fan going with a maid to bring out food and drink just in case I wake up thirsty – have a recorder playing over and over on repeat with the voice of my mother saying ‘’it’s all right Benny, it’s ok’’ and people can pay 50 cents to look through the window at my remains, the money goes to pay the maid. ---- . I’m prone to extremes but I know that’s not wise, so I’ve learned chill out and enjoy the ride. I love art and I’m really enthusiastic about creativity and all the beauty that can be found in it, I claim no credit for my art because I just mimic what God does everyday and I love music, I’ve nearly seen all of Australia with it's wonderful wildlife and deserts and been overseas. Worked on feature films, recorded an album and animated famous video clips, but what is this? My freakin’ resume? so take a look around cuz that’s what this is all about, the thing I hate the most is deception/ falsity. I'm not the type to follow trends or fashions for the sake of it, but I have a glass half full and an open mind. I like helping other people realize they're hopes and aspirations, I like to encourage and be encouraged, it brings life to my bones! Getting my best joy from giving and doing good to people, It's so hard to see when u only see yourself, instead let others sing ur praises, who wants ur vanity? having a good name is better than gold. I've learned that will is more important than feelings, mere feelings can deceive, doing what's right is better than doing something I feel like doing that's wrong. I believe there are consequences for every decision, I sleep well at night. I'm a loyal person to the things I commit myself to, I love people and I am not above anybody I talk to, I don't believe in double minded, luke warm philosophy founded on humanitarian self worship - which is based on compromise and the ‘sell out’ politically correct. -- So go hard or go home, when you stuff up, admit it, buy the truth and don't sell it, - be real. I used to be anxious about my existence in this life until I found the meaning of life; Love is the answer my friend, God is love – love God and it will go well with you! This is my story, both humble and true…break it to pieces and mend it with glue. Wom bop-a-loo-bop, a lop bamboo.

Your 1950s Name is:
Leonard Eugene

I'd like to meet:


Sara, So easy to look at, so hard to define. Sweet angel, sweet love of my life Sara Radiant jewel, mystical wife. It's all so clear, I could never forget Sara, Loving you is the one thing I'll never regret. Wherever we travel we're never apart Sara it's a Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart. How did I meet you ? I don't know, in a calico dress Sara?, You must forgive me my unworthiness. You gimme a map and a key to your door. Sara, Glamorous arrow and bow Don't ever leave me, don't ever go...I'd also like to meet John frusciante or Flea/ Brian Wilson / Burt Bacharach / Phil Spector - in jail, yes it would be good to meet them all in jail cuz it would really get the deep and meaningfull conversations going - we could all talk about art / love /music, we would have enough time in to talk about everything, maybe start a jailhouse band. Wouldn't mind a beer with Mel Gibson or Bill Murray they seem like cool people to talk to, good drinkin buddies. Most people I wish I could meet are dead - How sadistic is that? hehehe. I want to meet Jesus and will oneday. I want to meet fully developed people who give you room to function as you ought to, that give you space to enter onto another level, who speak life into you, and encourage things that are in you that you might never even realized where there, people that want to grow your gifts, not speak seeds of death, and have the light of God in their eyes, I also want to meet those who are desperate for the truth, that have been downtrodden, hurt and almost destroyed and on the end of their rope so I can tell them about hope and life in Jesus, He can transform your situation. I find there's a lot less beauty in the air where sarcasm lurks. If you need prayer or have a prayer request, I will pray for you.
