Bible - authored by GOD, Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell, Art of War by Sun Tzu, The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, The Giver by Lois Lowry to pick the writtings that first come to mind and have an influance on me in some way. Unfortunatly, these books, except the Word of GOD, come first to mind due to the times we currently live in - history repeats itself only if we let it. -Support a childs immagination, donate your used book to a local public library.

I am a man. Not much unlike any other man. I have my faults, and try to correct them when others are kind enough to point them out. However...tread lightly. I have solid personality bounderies developed from life experiances - many I would not curse on my worst enemy - and faith. I am just a man, the current sum of my life. The equation still developing. I have made my mistakes, if I've made up for them isn't for me to decide - some can only be decided at the end of this gift we call life. I am only a mortal being, just a man. I was born on a rainny day, on the shortest day of the year, at sunset in a hospital in New Jersey - as were many others. Most would say my life is reflected in that grey sunset, yet I would have to not only point out the many silver linings but also the streams of colors unique to that moment in time - that is the true equation of my life. I am fortunate to have a good woman whom I love and have been married to for almost 20 years. I have two step-daughters which have grown to become beautiful women. I have six step-grandchildren who are happy, healthy, and an inspiration; always reminding me of the meaning of it all...
