ABOUT ME

I like the color orange. It is bright and looks pretty in the sun.
I also like to laugh. It makes me cry sometimes, it also conflicts me with fear of incontinence. None-the-less, laughing is one of my favorite things to do.
I take things in. I experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Do it.
Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
I dig that.

I moved to Japan without knowing anyone or anything about the country. I returned three years later with great friends, a world of experiences, and a thirst for more.

I love life.
