CURRENT MISSION

to travel the world playing music

ABOUT ME

i absolutely positively do not like natto. however, i love people who DO like natto because of how amazing they are. i love football but dont like soccer. i have an unpleasantly and sometimes disturbingly sunny disposition. i always need a haircut for some reason. happy all the time and try to give people the benefit of love. always give people a chance. and can't roll my tongue, though i try almost everyday. sprained it twice. i accept every type of person, and there is no trait that annoys me (except blatant inconsideration: which i can also learn to accept). i firmly and truly believe in love above all, i have faced my fear actually, and am dreadfully addicted to pure and true freedom. the greatest lessons i have learnt thus far in this life: love, freedom and awareness. and i cannot teach you about any of these things, but maybe i can inspire you to stop seeking them.

PHILOSOPHY

Time is the rhythm for the song of change>

To me, music is the paradigm which expresses the true structure of the universe itself. I hope to understand the universe completely, through understanding people and in turn understanding my self wholly.
