CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to live to be 100. The genes seem to be good; now I have to avoid getting shot.

ABOUT ME

I am extremely cool. Sometimes.

PHILOSOPHY

We all create some kind of meaning for ourselves; nothing is absolute. I try to find flow in my life and that often involves other people. I hope that I have helped other people to grow as I know that they have helped me.

I almost got shot in Mexico protecting some girl I'd just met that night. Those wacky cops!
