Easy going single dad, I love to read and I love movies. I look forward to one day having many adventures on the ocean and travelling the world. I write music and fiction, which I hope to live off of one day. I have loved the same woman for the last 11 years and hope to stay that way the rest of my life. I m a simple man with simple pleasures, I just want to leave the world in better condition than I found it
"Great spirits will always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds."
"Those who said it couldn t be done were replaced by those who did."
“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”
"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. --Teddy Roosevelt, 1910
"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. --Marianne Williamson
It s not what kind of man would I be if I did something good, it s what kind of man would I be if I didn t.
“Those who give, hoping to be rewarded with honor, are not giving, they are bargaining”
Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.-- Thomas a Kempis
The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. He has accepted God s estimate of his own life: In himself, nothing; In God, everything. He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring.-- A.W. Tozer
God is not proud...He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him.-- CS Lewis
“One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them”
Everyone has to die, right? I m the guy that gets to do it saving the world.
