About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling around the world! Listen to your heart!

ABOUT ME

Just a pretty laid back guy here and always enjoying my life to its fullest. I'm well educated, well read, down to earth, and multilingual. I enjoy travelling a lot. Want to see lots of different cities around the world, learn about the relationships between people and spaces and appreciate the cultural diversity of our world!! Really hope to find nice mates to share stories, chat and even travel together.

PHILOSOPHY

"Stand too close to a picture, and you see only one small part of the entire image. Step back a few paces and you can appreciate the whole scene."

~~I've been to paradise but I've never been to me~~

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise,But I've never been to me
