About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work Hard, Travel Hard, Learn Exponentially

ABOUT ME

A tolerant, rational, reasonable person- which may seem a bit terse; I think really says a lot. I have opened my home to lots of people in the past. I was in a punk band for 10 years and always had other bands crash at my place. I am also a scooterist (collector and rider of vintage Vespa's and Lambretta's) which means I have hosted fellow scooterists not to mention I travel and ride a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

The overwhelming majority of people in this world are good, moral, and judicious, treat them as such. They need not to be controlled, and excel not because of institutions of control but in spite of them. Tolerance is a two way street. Force and coercion is always wrong even though intentions may seem right and good. Never punish the judicious, though the injudicious may seem to give you reason. When all else seems murky see rule # 1
