Trees and scenery nothing I love more than coming over the hill driving from home to work in the morning and being able to see the tree tops and the views and realise how Big and Majestic my God is who made all of this... Vita-Thion for giving me the energy daily that I need... Haha Watches I absolutely love watches even though I cannot afford half the ones I want man they nice to look at esp when I am able to buy a nice watch for myself which I do every now and then hahaha Cars I love looking at beautiful cars someday they actually make m e a little depressed cause I wish I had one, haha but I cannot imagine my life without beautiful cars Houses same as cars, I love looking at beautiful houses man they fill me with desire and passion yes the too can make me a little depro, but only for a second, cause I actually love driving having a ice cream or a milkshake and watching cars debating ion who lives there etc and that I am grateful for...
