CURRENT MISSION

Study music, agricuolture, philosophy, and other applied areas of knowledge

ABOUT ME

I am a musician. I primarily play the guitar (classical, acoustic, and electric), have limited experience playing harmonica, recorder and piano.
Into composing as well.
I am a virgo by western astrology, Year of the Snake hour of the Rooster by Chinese astrology.
Puedo hablar un poco de espanol, y me gustaria practicarlo mas. Other languages I would like to learn as well.
I'm a Unitarian Universalist and am interested in spirituality, philosophy and religion, trying to piece together a complete picture of life from the religions of Christianity, Taoism, Buddhism, and Islam. I would like to study more Sikhism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, shamanism, and Mormonism, although I know a little bit about these. I also draw largely from the philosophy of Ayn Rand.

PHILOSOPHY

-Monotheism: there is only one god
-Taoism: the way is the path of least resistance
-Positive egoism: identity of self while recognizing the interconnectedness of all things
-Karma: you know, do good things, good things happen
-Experimentalism; try new things, be spontaneous
