Basically, I am just a simple man with a complex mind. I believe that we create our destiny within natures chosen path. We spend too much time trying to figure out what we can see and touch, when what really matters are the things that can't be touched. The vase would be useless were it not for the emptiness inside. It is this emptiness which allows us to fill it with water so that flowers may bloom. The flower brings feelings of joy, happiness, and many other positive feelings. Therefore, it was the emptiness which allowed fullness. There are so many other examples of this that I wish the world could understand. People are not bad by nature, it is the obscure teachings that made them so. If we could educate the world, I believe we would have less poverty, hunger, anger, abuse, etc. Yet with that said, we could never appreciate the good without knowing the bad. Evil will never cease to exist, I just hope that my efforts and the way I live life, will make a difference, even if only in a small way, because to get anywhere, you have to take one step at a time.
Was known as the dancing Marine during my tour because I taught Ballroom Dancing for 17 years and was the 1987 Fred Astaire United States Latin Champion.
My Philosophy
Live life so that you have no regrets in the end.
What Gives Me Hope
The power that environmentalist and animal rights activists now have.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Pullback all military from other countries and regroup our country so that we could then focus on what and who really matter in the grand scheme of things. Then I would send out educators to all of those countries, in large enough numbers to help those less fortunate to become educated on the ways of the world. Knowledge is power. If they get the knowledge, they themselves would be educated enough to overcome the atrocities being committed against them.
What/who changed my life and why
The Marine's because they taught me the true meaning of teamwork and loyalty.
