CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Easygoing, friendly, intelligent, adventurous, spontaneous, funny, happy, and self-motivated,

PHILOSOPHY

I believe we were put here to enjoy life and learn to get along with others. Through experiencing life one learns what they like and don't like. I am around 50 years old now, though don't act or feel like that, and realize that at this stage of the game you need a list of all the things you want to do before you die. This is called the Bucket List. I have mine. Now go see the movie and start yours!
