About Me

CURRENT MISSION
*EDIT*
I am a full time student at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor is an awesome little town to live in. If you happen to swing by , stop by and say Hi.
*EDIT*

I am in France presently, and want to improve my French, travel across Europe and soak in the European culture.

ABOUT ME

I'm the darkness in the light
I'm the leftness in the right
I'm the rightness in the wrong
I'm the shortness in the long
I'm the goodness in the bad
I'm the saneness in the mad
I'm the sadness in the joy
I'm the gin in the gin-soaked boy ...

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live life to the fullest, without one boring moment in life!
