CURRENT MISSION

explore and expand my consciousness, tickle as many people as possible

ABOUT ME

I really just love everything. Life is a beautiful dream, a roller coaster ride full of ups and downs and it all doesn't matter so lets just have fun and let it all go and enjoy the ride.

I try and be peaceful, respectful, mindful, wise, and as awakened presently as possible.

Laugh. Live. Love. Then joy will flow though your heart and out into the universe to everything and everyone.

And eat pudding. Delicious delicious pudding.

PHILOSOPHY

Ride the wave of life. It will take you to magical places. Give in. Let go. Life is beautiful :)

Music, Movies, and Books

The Alchemist is the best book ever written. If you want to see a glimpse of my life philosophy read it, its beautiful.

Music: Anything that makes my body move and my heart soar. Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Daft Punk, Foals, Bon Iver, Mogwai, Miike Snow, M83, Sufjan Stevens, STS9, Bassnectar (add "facemelting" to list of interests), and literally infinite more.
