About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Life is far too important to be taken seriously.

What can I say, I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just gonna ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

I'm quite a competitive person, to the extent that I'v cheated while playing games with my four year old cousin(Why I was losing to a four year old is a question for another day).

I've got a bad case of the wanderlust possibly due to never having lived in one place for more than two years of my life.

Someday I want to hang a map in my room and put pins in all the locations I've traveled to, but first i'll have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being out on the reef in Australia, on an overnight diving trip. We'd docked beside an island which housed a bird sanctuary. Later in the night, the moon emerged from beyond the clouds causing the birds to take to the sky in one fluid movement. Creating this amazing effect where the moonlight filtered through the hundreds of bodies creating a stuttering movement like an old movie reel. All this while surrounded by the stilness of the reef was quite the memorable moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

If anyone is interested in Irish History(Don't all rush)I've studied it for years and have a wealth of information to bore you with. On a slightly more interesting note I play guitar so I can teach you some basics or if you play we can have a jam. I also have a dog who plays piano.... Actually that was just a lie to compensate for the History
