CURRENT MISSION

to always wonder.

ABOUT ME

i believe in the power of the keytar.

PHILOSOPHY

this is a hard one. i guess i'm just trying to push myself to learn new things, all the while living happily with the fact that i know so little. in other words, i'm trying to enjoy life for what it is and trying to improve it at the same time. what a paradox, huh?
