1/2 Sicilian 1/2 Portuguese, I'm an Atheist, I don't drink, I do not take drugs of any kind, I will not take any OTC or Pharmaceutical Drugs whatsoever. My part time studies are in Herbal Medicines. I'm a Union Iron Worker, Houston, Texas, Local #84 and #118. A Union Pipe Welder/Fitter, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Local #198, and I have a Federal Commercial Driver's License, Sacramento, California, OTR/Local. I am never without a job. I am working one of those three trades in the day or evenings. There are four interests in my Life: (1). TRAVELS: From 2003 to 2005 I have lived and worked part time in The United States of America and East Africa. I was planning to buy land and build a ranch/farm in Ngong Hills, Kenya. Where I could retire. Traveling parts of the world has matured me. Learning about the world and different people who share this earth with us has been Educational, and Spiritual. Every Intelligent Being needs to break down the walls of Ignorance and Fear to learn about each other and understand what we have to offer. (2). COOKING: I live to eat, not eat to live (smile/wink), cooking is an Art, knowledge of different foods and herbs are a part of a healthy body and mind. Something we all need to incorporate into our daily Lives, easier said then done, or able to do, but we need to try. Just one apple at a time. I have changed my eating habits in the direction of a Pollo Vegetarian. I have lost 60 pounds and my energy level is all most back to normal. (3).READING: Reading, Research, and Knowledge is my food/ air/ and drug of choice to exist. I have to know and need to understand everything that interest me. World Religions, Metaphysics, Magick/Spells, Philosophies, Communication, Spirits (afterworld), Governments, Tribes/People, Nature, Natural Medicines (Herbs), Tarot, Foods, Cooking, Chemicals, Astrology, Gardening, Landscaping, Animals, Astronomy, Numerology, Politics, Psychology, Law... All the books I have listed on my fascebook are a fraction of what I have read so far in my Life. The saying is true, "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER", and I will add; it can also be EVIL in the wrong hands. (4). FITNESS: Fitness should have been number one of the four interests. Without a Healthy Body, Mind, and Outlook you might as well not exist. Life is a wonderful experience, regardless of the hard times. The Wheel of Fortune never stops moving forward and hopefully we"ll all land on our feet in the next turn. Like winning the lottery (smile/wink).
