About me: I'm a mutt to be sure..of English/French/Irish and Czech/German descent...my days consist of adventures in living, ton 'n tons of music, books, movies, and Guinness...I live my life everyday but that sometimes gets me into a bundle of trouble..got an unquenchable thirst for knowledge...always curious..gotta question everything..like to study human behaviour, including myself...
I believe in taking care of myself; in a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I’ll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pour cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey-almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply a herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturiser, then an anti-ageing eye balm followed by a final moisturising protective lotion.
Who I'd like to meet: met some of my heroes..heres the ones I wish I could or could've met... Keith Richards, Paul Westerberg, John Lennon, Brian Wilson, Andy McCoy, René Berg, Syd Barrett, Peter Perrett, Hank Williams, GG Allin, Ron Wood, Nikki Sudden, Michael Des Barres, Robert Stoddard, Serge Gainsbourg
