i would prefer that others learn about me through real and more natural interaction rather than through a website, but here goes with a little about me: i will always stop my car to move a turtle off the road! i've always been a maverick, doing things my own way! passionate is the best adjective that could be used to describe me. i thirst and hunger for life and knowledge. living by the golden rule is a must. i'm big on integrity and the virtues like honesty, loyalty, trustworthiness, etc... and i insist that they be practiced by others towards me because i practice them with others. i have a lot of interests, from the arts to the outdoors. i think i'm one of the only kids to grow up in the los angeles area that raised and bred pigeons. later on in my life i raised and bred pure arabian horses, go figure! i have traveled quite a bit in my life. traveling is one of my top priorities. i have always had a fascination with music. when i was a teenager i played the drums in a garage band (we were actually pretty good). europe is my favorite place on earth. i will retire in the south of france! I'M KIND OF AN UNPAID PHILOSOPHER TOO :-) care to share some of your thoughts on life, the universe, creation verses evolution or the world with me?
