About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Boy-analyst forging links

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty easy. Not too rowdy, really, but I like to meet people and I think I can hold a solid conversation over a beer or coffee (& maybe some cigarettes). I'm not made uncomfortable easily. I can talk about just about anything with anyone if they are interested. In my spare time I like writing and sometimes I make music.

PHILOSOPHY

To try and summarize some ideas I have about the world here would just be too sterilizing for me. Served up cold, dead. I think the best way to get to know someone's personal philosophy is to talk with them and it will reveal itself naturally.
