CURRENT MISSION

find my place in the world, or die trying

ABOUT ME

i'm a native Californian, raised in Colorado, who then traveled around the US, moving from state to state, town to town, before moving back to Cali, only to come to the realization that I really didn't feel at home in The States. so I left, with the intention of finding a new home, somewhere out there in this big ass world. Little did I know that the home I would find, my real home, is everywhere I am, AKA on the road. I never really felt comfortable staying in one place for too long, so i feel the need to move on from time to time. traveling is in my blood. i come from a family or travelers and/or re-locators. my brothers live in other countries and now it's my turn to find my place in the world. i am/have-been/will-be-again a hitchhiker/traveler/carpenter/welder/engine builder/bartender/wine lover/mountain lover/beach lover/fun lover/etc. i like puppies and rainbows and long walks on the beach and all that happy, fluffy shit. i love wine (as previously mentioned) so my favorite activities usually involve grabbing a (cheap) bottle (or few) and hanging out with people as i am usually pretty broke, so i can't do things like "go out" to bars and restaurants, but i'm also not unable to provide for myself, so don't worry, i can scrape together enough to feed myself. i am actually a pretty decent cook though, but cannot usually afford the ingredients it takes to make the good stuff, but if you feel like purchasing the goods, i would love to make us something tasty and that you have probably never had before. just a thought.
other than that, i have been hitchhiking around the EurRussAsian major land mass for the past 12+ years, as well as some time in Australia and New Zealand and i have some interesting stories to tell, if you're interested, but i always love to hear interesting stories from others as well, so it would be great to regale each other with tales of our various travels and life experiences.

Besides all that, recently i acquired a time machine, so i no longer have any regrets, because i went back in time to change all the events in my past that i had regretted, but of course, not before i got the required time machine operator's training at Doc Brown's Institute For Mo' Better Time Machining. they're really the only accredited training center, for time travel, and definitely the only one that you should ever trust. the improper use of such a device could rip a hole in the very fabric of spacetime, so it's really important to get the proper training. classes already started for this semester, but there's a setting on my rig, that took me back to the time they started, so that i could get enrolled, and get the education that i require. then, after the 1. 5 year, accelerated associate's program, i was ready to go fix all those silly mistakes i made in life and put right, what once went wrong, so they never happened. now i'm just happy :)
