CURRENT MISSION

To find the happiness in every experience.

ABOUT ME

I am tall, but not overly so, and I don't smoke. I am a vegetarian, love cats and dogs, and enjoy finding humor in unusual places. I like to write poetry or short stories, but I like to travel even more. No subject is taboo with me, so ask my a question and I'll give you an answer.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make it.

"It's not where you're from, not where you're at, it's where you're going."

"Home is where I lay my hat."

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've watched the sunrise innumerable times after staying up all night. I've looked up at the stars on a couchboat with a perfect frame of the sky. I've slept on the mean streets of London and survived it. I've swam with dolphins in Alabama. Every moment you breathe is amazing, so make the most of it.

教，学，和分享

www.knowmore.org

I know a lot of trivia details about movies and the actors in them.

I can also discuss Native American culture during the colonial era with you.

Finally, my knowledge of the Italian language is enough to teach you the basics.
