RTM ~ How do you distinguish the difference between Lust and Love?
TONY ~ That's an easy one. Lust is from the devil - Love is from God.
RTM ~ What was your most outrageous moment in the area of romance?
TONY ~ I'm very spontaneous and I don't limit myself. Im not one for roses and flowers, but don't get into the elevator with me. LOL, that's all I can say.
RTM ~ Do you like the woman to initiate intimacy? And do you prefer Slow and Sensual
or Down Dirty?
TONY ~ It's all right for the woman to make the first move it shows her confidence. I dont
like timid women and I'd have to say I like it Down & Dirty.
RTM ~ In your opinion and in your dating years did you find that women want intimacy
to be a romantic venture or more into just a good time?
TONY ~ Definitely a romantic venture, women love romance. You know the old saying: Women want romance, men want sex. Love is like fire, if you feed it too much oxygen it turns into an inferno and you'll get burned. But there has to be both in a healthy relationship and if you take away the oxygen the flame goes out. But if you tend that fire with loving care and let it grow naturally you have an eternal flame. And that's what love is all about. There has to be a balance between the two it won't work any other way. People stay in unhealthy loveless relationships and marriages for a lot of different reasons but again without the love it just doesn't work. All it does is make all involved miserable and life is just too short for that.
Women are easy to love and they'll stay happy if you tell them you love them often and give them a little pat on the rump occasionally.
THE ROMANTIC LIGHTER SIDE
RTM ~ Italian's are known as very passionate, expressive people, and are known as great lovers.
Do you consider yourself what some would call an Italian Stallion Stud or are you an Italian
Shetland Pony'?
TONY ~ LOL, I'm 100% the real deal, but I think myself more The Italian Bull.'
RTM ~ Where at this point in your life is your career most focused? What are your long term goals to
achieve your dreams and where do you see yourself in 5 years?
TONY ~As its always been my career focus is on Health and Fitness and being able to help others achieve their own goals with a positive attitude and being healthy in mind, body, and spirit. I like to watch Joel Osteen a Spiritual leader that teaches on how to keep your life focused through God and maintain a healthy balance of body and spirit which in turn gives us the power of strength over the negativity that can invade our minds and hearts and can ultimately break our spirit and cause us to doubt our own abilities and dreams. I believe it's all in the balance there's no room for negativity. You have to have a positive attitude at all times.
Where do I see myself in 5 years? I would love to be able to speak to large crowds to motivate and inspire people all over the world to become one in mind, body, and spirit. To help others see the importance of Health and Fitness in their everyday lives and be able to achieve their goals and dreams with a positive attitude and maintain the balance that is needed to ensure a healthy life not only in the body but in the spirit.
RTM ~ What Charity or Causes are you most supportive and why are they so important to you?
Tony ~ To be honest I don't currently financially support any charitie's or causes. I just don't fully trust some of the organization's that the financial help that's given them actually reaches the people in need. I lean more toward the personal touch - to visit the individual and be able to talk one on one with them and give them the help that they need within my own abilities and experience. I believe that everyone needs help sometime in their life, some people just need someone to listen and give them hope. Again, you have to see the importance of a healthy mind and spirit and if this is achieved it results in a positive attitude and mind-set which gives us an inner strength that can often make a big difference to the out come of ones situation. The mind is a powerful thing but the spirit is even more powerful. I give generously to other people that's just my way.
RTM ~ Name the 3 most important aspects in your own personal life today and why?
TONY ~ I would have to say myself, Tina my wife, and our dog Tiny. This might not be considered
aspects but it's what's important to me. Now don't get the wrong idea when I include myself, I feel that if I keep my own balance and stay focused then I'm able to face any challenge and obstacle that's put in my path. Family is very important to me and if I'm prepared for lifes twists and turns with a positive attitude then I'm in a much better position to help my family when things get rough. My wife Tina I love with all my heart and she's the most important person in my life. Our dog Tiny is part of the family too and important to both Tina and I.
RTM ~ It's been noted that you can have somewhat of a temper at times. What is the one thing that
will push you over the edge and bring out that temper more than anything else?
TONY ~There isn't just one thing that will push me over but I'd have to say that I dislike phony
people, jealousy, envy, trouble maker's, and negative attitude's. All of which are not healthy attribute's for anyone to have. I don't think I'm any different from anyone else if you have something to say to me say it to my face not behind my back.
An example: I appeared on the cover of the New Living Magazine and about 500 copies were put in the gym that I go to. The other day when I went in I saw that someone had decimated some of the magazine's, tearing the cover in pieces you know like ripping my face off the cover. LOL, I don't like that kind of childish behavior. I have a saying that comes to mind, I'm loved by some, hated by many, and feared
by all.
RTM ~ You've just discovered that you have a Fairy Godfather and he's granted you one wish,
what would it be and why?
TONY ~To be honest I'd like to leave my mark on the world and have people say that I changed their
life in some way, to leave behind a legacy of sorts. I'm not trying to feed my ego here I'm just being honest. All of us were put here for a purpose for the betterment of our world as a whole. I also believe that God sends people into our lives for many reasons and it's up to us to determine that reason and accept it for what it is. It may be for my own needs at the time, but it may be that the other person needs my help in some way. I'd like to think that when I'm gone someone would say 'Wow, he was one of a kind' or 'He was really something'. To be able to leave good memories with those that has been a
part of my life. I have a complex spirit and a simple brain.
RTM ~ You've worked hard all your life to get where you're at and being one of the top leader's in
Inspirational and Motivational speaking to help others succeed in their goals and dreams. Is there one particular quote or saying that has helped you in your own personal walk of life that has contributed greatly to your success and self-preservation?
TONY ~There's not one in particular but I do have a couple that comes to mind.
'There ain't nothing to it but to do it!' 'Keep going no matter what!'
RTM ~ What brings you to a heated boiling point or puts you in that so called the Moan Zone in intimacy?
TONY ~ I don't think I'm any different from other men; I like a womans touch. In particular area's of
course.
RTM ~ What attributes do you find that makes a woman sexy?
TONY ~ I personally like dark haired confident women but there are always exceptions...A good example: A couple years ago I saw a woman, blond hair, and she was extremely heavy and overweight, I'm talking 350 pounds which under normal circumstances would not appeal to me. But this particular woman was dressed nice, her hair was well groomed, and she walked with a confidence about her and that made her sexy to me. It didn't matter that she was overweight you could tell that she was confident and in control, she wasn't superficial and that made her sexy.
It's all in the mind, beauty and being sexy comes from within. Women can spend thousands of dollars on clothes, make-up, not to mention cosmetic surgery trying in superficial ways to make them look more sexy. But their personality can destroy all their hard work and efforts.
You don't have to constantly keep up with the new fads, just be comfortable within yourself, let your true personality shine, be confident, and you'll be sexy in other's eyes. We've never been one to have to keep up with the new fads especially in clothing. I wear mostly jeans and t-shirts which I'm comfortable in and you have to admit they'll never go out of style. If a person likes their particular hair style, clothing, or whatever, and feels confident about themselves all the better. Simplicity is always best, make your own styles, and make your own trends.
RTM ~ Are you a Hugger or a Kisser?
TONY~ Definitely a kisser but I like both.
RTM ~ Your in a relationship and it's just not clicking How would you go about breaking it off?
TONY~ Peanut butter and Lobster don't mix. If your in a relationship and it's just not clicking for
whateve reason then get out but always be honest with the person, no lies, and no games. You have to remember that other people's feelings are just as important to them as yours are to you.
RTM ~ With todays sexual freedom and the health risks of promiscuous sex being a major concern and knowing what you do now from your own personal experience in dating. You've been invited to host a seminar in a local High School to a group of male students. What advice would you give to the next generation of males in the area's or dating, intimacy, and girls in general?
TONY ~ Dating is like driving a car; you don't plan what will happen you have to be spontaneous. But start with friendship and build from there. Learning and getting to know the other person is the fun in it. Like climbing a ladder in order to get to the top you have to take one step at a time. You have to go through the hard times to make the any relationship stronger and it makes the good times even better.
Promiscuous sex is not a good thing, without some kind of connection, some feeling, sex is nothing more than sex. Once you experience love, the real thing, you'll see the difference. Always be a gentleman and trust that God will put someone in your life to share your dreams.
And yes I do believe in love at first sight. It happened to me! When I first met Tina, and looked in her eyes and saw her smile I just knew in my heart that she was the woman for me. I called her the very next day and two days later we went on our first date. In the last 13 years there hasn't been a day goes by that I've not talked to her.
