CURRENT MISSION

To dip my feet in as many oceans as possible

ABOUT ME

I am beginning a Masters program at Erasmus University starting in October 2009 till September 2010. I will be living with my girlfriend in an apartment on the Eastside of Rotterdam. This is my first time to live in another country. I will be learning dutch while here.

PHILOSOPHY

"Ignorance spreads lies
How much will money buy
Well I'll take my time
As I drift and die"

"Never settle for less but always strive for the best"

"I am a baaad man" - Nicholas Cage

I'm not a businessman
I'm a business, man
let me handle my business, damn

I myself am made entirely out of flaws, stitched together with good intentions -Augusten Burroughs

The rest of those who have gone before us cannot steady the unrest of those to follow

No matter where you travel,
You will never be able to shake all the sand
Out of your flip-flops,
Nor the ocean out of your soul

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in all sports and like to know the inner nuances of each. Music always excites me. I have a childhood fondness for dinosaurs, transformers, legos, roller coasters and sweets.

I am very interested in the natural world, especially the way the Earth changes and things adapt. The power of nature is especially intriguing to me.
