CURRENT MISSION for life to be a constant adventure ABOUT ME I am an enthusiastic, fun-loving, open-minded individual interested in going on adventures (which usually involves bikes or longboards), eating yummy food, holistic problem solving, and hearing about others' experiences. PHILOSOPHY "I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs." -Annie Hall "Knowing how to live is not something we have to teach children. Knowing how to live is something we have to be careful not to take away from them." -Colin Beavan "Education, if it means anything, should not take people away from the land, but instill in them even more respect for it, because educated people are in a position to understand what is being lost. The future of the planet concerns all of us, and all of us should do what we can to protect it." - Wangari Maathai "If you want to believe in something, believe in it. Just because something ain't true, there's no reason you can't believe in it." -Secondhand Lions "I was 45 years old and I suddenly had a realization: the conductor of an orchestra doesn't make a sound. He depends for his power on his ability to make other people powerful, and that changed everything for me. I realized my job was to awaken possibility in other people." -Benjamin Zander
