Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Figure out a metal rendition of Stravinsky's Rites of Spring with my housemate. epic.
ABOUT ME
Very interested in education and hope to start a graduate program in a year or two for a Master's degree and Credential. It's just hard to commit sometimes what with student loans, loss of free time/spirit, house, car, kids...ahhhh and you ask yourself how did I get here? Anyway, it's something I feel strongly about and would like to do. For now I sub, tutor, and cater for work and enjoy life most importantly!
PHILOSOPHY
It's funny how things change. What I write now might be totally different from how I feel in 5 years and is definitely different than how I felt 5 years ago. It's hard to find universal truths or reasons for anything. "Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving." For now I live for experience and to try to make the world more positive.
