TANAGI

to my little spot on the web. I am Tanagi and very glad you dropped by. I extend to you my hand in friendship.

There are many things I would like to say and do. Opinions and ideas I would like to share. (See my pet peeve) So if you give me a chance, I will try to make you feel as comfortable as I can.
First of all, let me tell you a little about myself. I was born in Italy. I am of Italian and Croatian background. My formative years were spent in Belgium. At the tender age of twelve I ended up in Canada. So according to that I have been exposed to four different cultures.
My life, except for a few hardships, such as a very bad first marriage and subsequent divorce, has been enriched with good friends and a loving family. I am the father of two grown children. I have a son who is married and a daughter who has left the nest and hopefully will get married soon.
I am presently married to a wonderful native canadian lady. Through her I am now with many brothers and also a grand father. As such I have been exposed to still another experience in life as well as a new culture, which I happen to admire very much. I just love them all! That may be one of the reasons why I am who I am and why I like what I am.(It was never that way before)

I do love people in general and I also know that a closed mind robs us of the chance to discover what makes many of us tick!
Yes, I do have my opinions (Pertaining to paedophiles, defence lawyers, young offenders act, and last but not least the politicians and the laws that controls my way of life.) but I have always respected opinions of others. Give me yours and I shall learn even more.(Maybe!!)

I have many interests.

Photography is one of them. See Gallery

My all time favorite musical group is : The Bee Gees

My favorite male singer is : Roy Orbison (The Prince of pain)

My favorite female singer is : Nana Mouskouri

My favorite song : Words , Rings around the Moon (The Bee Gees)

My favorite actors: Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood

Favorite Movie: Bridges of Madison County

The entertainer I dislike the most is : Madonna. She offends me! Believe me there are many others but I figure it would be stupid on my part to list them all. Why give them the time of day, but I will make an exception with Britney Spear, she's a skank

I love Golf

I hate flying

I believe that paedophiles should be castrated first and then shot

I think politicians and lawyers are a low form of life

I would love to see Christ the Lord back into Christmas!

I hate to be robbed of my beliefs in order to appease others

I think that suicidal terrorists should be executed when caught and their whole families wiped out as well. A little drastic measure, I know but they have no conscience

I am also a collector of stamps and movies and recipes

As far as I am concerned Kalhil Gibran is one of the greatest philosophers that the world has ever known.

There are so many other things that I enjoy in life. These are too numerous to mention.

Please check out my Pet Peeve page.

I would like to dedicate this page to the matters of the heart.

Some of these thoughts and poems were written by myself through the years.

Others were written by people that I admire. In any respect, I hope you will enjoy them as much as I have.
You may identify with some and perhaps draw comfort from others. The heart can be very lonely at times. It needs a little place where it can go and find itself.

If this page has helped even a little bit, then I would have achieved what I set out to do. It will be constantly revised, so drop in any time to view the changes.
