About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never forget that the purpose for which a man lives is the improvement of the man himself, so that he may go out of this world having, in his great sphere or his small one, done some little good for his fellow creatures

ABOUT ME

I tend to stray from the beaten path, I can find good in just about anything, as long as it's not harmful to me or others. Im an artist at heart, love poetry, photography, and pretty much anything art related. Im trying to get into painting (mixed media). Im pretty well rounded. I can hold a pretty decent conversation, my musical taste vary (very eclectic). My sense of style leans toward less is more (QUALITY OVER QUANTITY)and very relaxed, so I tend to enjoy simplicity as opposed to organized chaos. I drink on occassion. I do smoke cigarettes (but only outside), also im 420 friendly and don't mind if you are/arent. I tend to just enjoy myself, but human interaction is always welcomed. lol. :) I guess for right now, that's enough to at least chip the iceberg.

PHILOSOPHY

If being real is wrong and I have to pretend for you. Give me a costume that resembles me, and let me pretend to be myself. -Anonymous.

Never forget that the purpose for which a man lives is the improvement of the man himself, so that he may go out of this world having, in his great sphere or his small one, done some little good for his fellow creatures and labored a little to diminish the sin and sorrow that are in the world. - W.E. Gladstone.
