The 7 Sins
ENVY:
Whose shoes would you like to walk in?
David Beckham. Being young, it was either sports or business for me. I always thought it would be incredible to be a pro athlete, and David Beckham is one of the best, and coolest. Great style, great business mind, charitable and lives an incredible life.
GLUTTONY:
What is the food you could eat over and over again?
Pasta! The Italians have it right: mouth-watering generational pasta recipes with some of the best old-world red wines. There is really nothing sexier and more satisfying to enjoy. Spending time in Italy feels so at home for me. I love their culture and food! Ahhh, I香蕉视频直播檓 hungry!
GREED:
You香蕉视频直播檙e given $1 million that you have to spend selfishly. What would you spend it on?
A new 36香蕉视频直播� , fully loaded with West Coast fishing gear. A mint condition 1969 Porsche 911S Targa. And a converted 1970s . That should about blow it. Anything left would go into tech toys and vintage red wine.
WRATH:
Pet peeves?
Littering, poachers, wasteful people, bad drivers and people that can香蕉视频直播檛 relax, laugh, let loose and have some fun.
SLOTH:
Where would you spend a long time doing nothing?
Near the ocean for sure. That is a must. And my gut would say somewhere hot like Bali. But I also love being at my cabin on Galiano Island. The ocean is a huge aspect of my life; I need to be near it all the time. So as long as that is involved, I will be happy.
PRIDE:
What is the one thing you香蕉视频直播檙e secretly proud of?
I believe I have a very strong ability to read people. I have been this way my whole life, and I use this superpower every day when conversing with people.
LUST:
What makes your heart beat faster?
Keeping this answer G-rated香蕉视频直播� adrenaline sports and exploring new places. I will try almost anything, and if it has a motor and goes fast, even better. I will likely be hooked! I also love exploring new places and cultures around the world; it makes me happy and inspires everything I do.
