About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Quiet and talkative
Likes to sleep early and also likes to party
Usually smiles, except when he asks himself too many questions
Can babble on for hours about many subjects (but unfortunately usually not the ones that get other people hooked on)
Time out is the religion
Doesn't smoke anything, and especially not the carpet

PHILOSOPHY

Be present here and now.
If you're not elsewhere, you're probably just as good as a ghost.
