About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new friends and above all, laugh. It's nice to be nice.

ABOUT ME

I save my pennies to travel.
I save my time to learn.
I save my moments to spend with friends---new and old.

all of that saving keeps me with a wealth of happiness and everything to share.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that when art is employed correctly transforms lives. The problem is that the evolution of thought process into the dominant narrative takes time. I try to contribute to this change.

When it comes down to it, all that matters is how you treat others and how they treat you. A friend is a friend no matter what age or background. Meeting new people is a way of life for me. We are all here together and therefore should learn from each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

...fearless enough to not let a scrape ever stop me...

Teach, Learn, Share

Imagine that everyone walks around with pluses and minuses hanging above there head. For every good deed you do you receive a plus. Now, if you expect something in return than you also receive a minus (the debt that someone owes you). If you are able to train yourself to not expect something in return than you just receive the plus, thus giving you 'liquid goodness'.
