CURRENT MISSION

Vetting, at the moment, is that what you call it? Just started vet school in New Zealand and I'm working my way towards something. I'm not exactly sure what yet...

PHILOSOPHY

I normally wouldn't do this but in this situation it seemed kind of fitting.I suppose if you can't say it in your own words find someone who can.

"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs. And maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is . . .

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I like to cook.. but it's not really my specialty?

I know a little about animal science and basic vetting skills, and also quite a bit about glass art... I guess that's kind of my specialty skill.

I want to learn to speak Spanish and French. Two goals of mine.
