About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living the life, doing the thing

ABOUT ME

I live with my girlfriend right near downtown New Braunfels.
It would be better to meet me and form your own opinion.
A journal entry:
Where does this feeling of impending doom come from? I can feel it move across my entire body. It feels like a desire to be stimulated. I ask myself what I want to do and I receive a thousand answers. Must I track down every whim of the mind? Seems like that sometimes. Do this or else, my mind says to itself. Different parts of itself however. I often hold myself to unrealistic standards. The outcomes and accomplishments I want to pursue are off of conditions that are not in sync with reality. An ideal set of conditions, but not actual. I am afraid of messing up. I am afraid of fucking up a good thing. But in that fear it keeps me from doing the good things I want to do for fear of fucking up. So in essence the fear brings its own fear to light. The good never gets done. Without the fear the good would have been done and that's that. And I justify this in my head by saying, "Well I didn't try so I probably could have done it." So it seems like I never fail. But I do in constantly succumbing to the fear and not being myself. Doing the good. Being the good. Being. Human Being. We are meant to be whatever it is that we are. Remember to be it.

PHILOSOPHY

People are blessed in certain areas more than others in order that they have the capability to help others grow. We must realize our own personal strengths so our light shines brighter for the good of everyone else. By overcoming personal battles we in turn help the whole world come into the light. The only way to truly help others lies in the path of helping yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hitchhiked from San Antonio to Northern California and back over a period of seven weeks.
I saw a triple rainbow driving out of the mountains of Colorado on the way to a Primus show at Red Rocks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I feel I provide a different perspective to people, I find myself as a catalyst to deep introspective thought in others through the way I live; I want to experience inner peace and enlightenment
