About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To offer safe, clean and interesting temporary housing to interesting people traveling on a budget to the Los Angeles Area.

ABOUT ME

I am a rebel, an anarchist, but one who believes absolutely in peaceful, non-violent change. If I had been alive when Thomas Jefferson were alive, I am sure we would have been very close friends. I will not rant and rave about who I am, what I have done, or what my credentials are, all of that is irrelavant to the issue of human interaction. I treat everyone as an equal, regardless of thier formal educational level. A human mind, a human soul, needs no certification beyond thier own determination, I beleive this absolutely.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone is someone elses hero, be that person to someone else, but choose well those you mentaur, there is no pain as great as a student who uses the training you so lovingly gave them, for all the wrong purposes....

Favorite Quote(s)....

"If all electricity comes from electrons, then, it naturally follows, that all morality results from morons"... (My best internet pen pal)

"Everyone will eventually hurt you, even your closest friends, what you need to decide, is which ones are worth the pain."... (An anonamous pen pal)

"A child, will continue to be childish, as long as they are treated as children. All persons have unlimited potential, regaurdless of thier age."... (My best activist friend)

"The dogs will always bark when the caravan passes, they are dogs, let them bark. The caravan travels the world, carrying riches, going places the dogs can only dream of, so let the dogs bark."... (My Mom)

"If you see a fallen half rotten peach, on the ground, cut out the bad half, and have the good half. Better a half peach, than no peach."... (My Grandfather)
