About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enhance everyday, some days must be filled with adventure

ABOUT ME

If asked about me, I think my friends would say I am quite the sonorous Semite. In other words, I'm quite loud and I want to see, share, and to learn more about this big hunk of rock and water we call home.

PHILOSOPHY


"Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true." -Buddha
