CURRENT MISSION

woohoo!

ABOUT ME

I'm curious about all this stuff humans are doing. We are alive! Isn't that incredible. The awesomeness of nature and our universe never ceases to amaze me. It's pretty cool just that we're here, right?

Life is a journey...meeting new people, experiencing new places, learning new things...

I'm from Texas. Saying that probably gives you all sorts of wrong ideas. That's okay. I forgive you.

I graduated with my bachelors degree (Computer Science) last December and don't know what to do next. So now I'm looking to the world for inspiration...

My current rêve du jour is to live on an agave farm in Mexico and distill my own tequila.

Last week it was to build a windmill in my back yard out of scrap parts and generate my own electricity.

Who knows what it will be next week. One day I'll make at least one of them a reality.

"Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of 'the rat race' is not yet final."

PHILOSOPHY

When you don’t create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. Your tastes only narrow and exclude people. so create.

You are my other me.
