ABOUT ME

I am kind of an introvert sometimes, but really love to go new places and meet new people (kind of oxymoronic, I know). Once I get into the great outdoors I am all sorts of ecstatic. Love trying new things and going on adventures; wether it's a strange beer, guinea pig fritters, a band I've never heard of, or a spontaneous road trip, that's what I live for.

PHILOSOPHY

"This is what you shall do; Love the earth and the sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and the crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning god, have patience and indulgence towards people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examie all you have been told at school or church or in any boo, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint in your body."
- Walt Whitman
