Books: Haven't really read many books worth remembering, but i did read the Da Vinci code and it wasn't great. Oh, and "Spot the Dog".. it was a total page turner! Oh and i read "Dry" a couple weeks ago.. It was okay. Oh, and this one time, in school, i read "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck.. that was good i guess!!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
seeing the clearest skies in the world at a forest party in San Pedro, Chile.. i never knew the night sky could be so bright.. get yourself to Chile if you've never been. you have to see it to believe it.
getting caught in a thunder storm on Sydney harbor bridge. the heaven's opened up.. I've never been so this wet while fully dressed before, the thunder/lighting above me was lighting up the sky and hitting the bridge.. it was exhilarated and completely unexpected.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: Drawing, painting, artistic expression, CAD and photoshop if you want some technical stuff. I can teach you how to love and live every day like it's your last
Learn: Spanish, French, Throwing to a specific target, and ask me to say specific because I can't and I'd like to be able to pronounce it properly. And I can't tread water - if I stop while swimming (which I do quite well) I'm worried that I'll drown
Share: Toothpaste
