ABOUT ME

Easy-going, simple person, easy to be pleased.
I love to meet people and learn about their cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough.
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
God, if I can’t have what I want, let me want what I have.
