Heroes
Definitely my Mom, for fighting cancer with a vengence before she passed. Dad for fighting with her to the bitter end. Both of them taught me many lessons, some that I heeded, some that I needed. I learned from them all. My 2 sons Fernando III (Freddie AKA FRODERICK OF THE COSMOS), and Jonathan (Jon-Jon)for never ceasing to provide opportunities for me to be proud of them. ROCK ON GUYS!!!
About me: THERE ARE THINGS OF THE UNIVERSE THAT NEED TO BE DISCUSSED, "AD NAUSEUM"
....What is there to say about me??? Well it all depends on who you ask. There is often no middle ground with me. People either love me or despise me. And I like it that way. The in between people are usually fucking phonies anyway just trying to see what they can get from you.
Ok I am divorced. I have two sons Freddie III 21 and Jonathan 17. I am 50 years old and work as a personal assistant. My passion is to one day own my own little cafe restaurant. A quaint little Portuguese barbecue joint. Common food for the common man. Sounds like a good title for a Bruce Springsteen song.
I am 100% Portuguese, I was born there and I speak, read and write Portuguese fluently. I also speak read and write Spanish fluently and I get by pretty well in French and Italian.
I have been clean and sober for over a 1/3 of my life. Yeah I am the madman that needs no chemical inspiration. I am an USUI REIKI Master. I study the spiritual, the supernatural, the paranormal and the occult.
I like to read about weird shit too.
I have very diverse tastes and views on life in general. It sometimes makes me seem to be unreachable. But I am who I am. Like the "WHATEVER" phrase of the new millenium..." It is what it is. I am very much like Popeye the Sailor, " I YAM WHAT I YAM" Not everyone is going to like me nor dislike me, that is why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors.*****************************
A WISE HIGHLY CAFFINATED MAN WHO OWNED A COFFEEHOUSE IN NEW BRUNSWICK NEW JERSEY ONCE TAUGHT ME THAT "SUCCESS IS... THAT THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE BECAUSE YOU EXISTED."......more will be revealed.......
Your Birthdate: June 17
You tend to find yourself lucky - both in business and in life.
And while being wealthy is nice, you enjoy sharing your abundance with others.
You put your luck to good use: you are very ambitious and goal oriented.
Often times, you get over excited and take on more than you can manage.
