About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am an explorer of planet Earth on a continuous mission to make the best of what's around.

ABOUT ME

I love bacon-cheeseburgers with fries.

It is better to waste money than to waste time; you can always make more money.

I was reading the qualifying reasons to get a REFUND for my flight:
"Trip Cancellation - reimburses cancellation penalties or unused arrangements should you need to cancel because of illness, injury, or death to yourself..." wait. You had to specify that last one?

I'd just like to be in films that I would like to see. I think of myself as an entertainment arsenal. Like I have my acting bazooka and my music machete. And you don't know what I'm going to come at you with.
-Jack Black

There's nothing you can really do to prepare to rock. Do you prepare to eat a delicious meal? Are you hungry? Then you're gonna eat it.
