ABOUT ME

The one thing to know about me is that I am a walking contradiction and that's ok. So how about some quotes because as Andre Gide once said, "Everything that needs to be said has already been said":

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where –" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesnt matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running.
- African Proverb

If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character, would you slow down, or speed up?
Chuck Palahniuk

If life was easy everyone would do it
Josh B

Get busy living or get busy dying
Shawshank

What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Oscar Wilder

I always tell the truth even when I lie
Tony M

The sign of a truly educated man is to be deeply moved by statistics
George Bernard Shaw

I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down.
Mitch Hedberg

Love is love and life is life. c'est la vie, que sera sera. Travel is not a passion it's a lifestyle.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway

PHILOSOPHY

"The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some damn annoying virtues. "
Drunken wisdom-

"If life gives you lemons, make caipirinha"
Carlitos life wisdom

To me heaven would be a big bull ring with me holding two barrera seats and a trout stream outside that no one else was allowed to fish in and two lovely houses in the town; one where I would have my wife and children and be monogamous and love them truly and well and the other where I would have my nine beautiful mistresses on nine different floors
.--Ernest Hemingway
