CURRENT MISSION

Live, Write, Experience, Keep moving.

ABOUT ME

I am a restless individual. I cannot sit still for very long at all. I have to keep moving, experiencing, and growing.

I am currently living in Japan, working as a teacher to pay the bills, while using the opportunity to springboard myself around the world. I am currently penning a couple of novels, which I hope to soon publish.

I have the attention span of a ferret in a bag of chocolate covered pretzels (none at all).

PHILOSOPHY

I am this moment.

I want to go out screaming. The world is always so held up on needing a reason, but sometimes the best reason to do something is no reason at all.

Música, películas y libros

Anything with a good story.

From the Top, as of late:

About Time, Guardians of the Galaxy, Amelie, The Hobbit, Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club, The Lord of the Rings, Fantastic Mr. Fox, How to Train Your Dragon, and so much more.

Music: Chvrches, Fall Out Boy, Bastille, Of Monsters and Men, Owl City, One Republic, Ellie Goulding, Mumford and Sons, anything that makes me feel good.

Books: I am a huge fantasy nerd. That means Harry Potter, Song of Ice and Fire Series, Eragon, etc. But also more literary stuff takes my interest as well: fiction, poetry, and short stories. e.e. cummings, Mark Richard, George Saunders, Beat poetry. If it grabs my attention, I will read it.

A very powerful book, definitely up there for me, is Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now."

Algo increíble que he hecho

After 21 years of being so obese that I could barely walk, after a dozen doctors and everyone in my family begging me to try to lose weight, after hating everything about myself and everything I could not do, then something changed. I woke up and I decided to be free.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can show you how to speak some Japanese, How to Tie a knot that may one day save your life, I can show you how to lose 250 pounds without anyone's help but your own, I can show you how to use your imagination to turn a piece of paper into a dream, I can show you how to eat more sushi than humanly possible, and I can show you anything I am capable of.
