CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn, live, be HAPPY!

ABOUT ME

My name is Mikk, I am very social and fun loving. I love singing along to songs and pretending to be immature. I love hugging and being around friends. I like being quiet and listening but I also like talking and being loud. I love learning about new things and push myself to try everything (activities, not food haha). I try to always be accepting of everyone around me at all times.

PHILOSOPHY

All I know is that there is a lot to learn. I don't know if there is a God, but I also don't know that science cannot explain our existance perfectly.

I am very open and respectful and LOVE hearing other people's thoughts.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music, yes, even country. I enjoy acoustic guitar and clever hip-hop (not the radio stuff) the most. 1/3 of my brain is composed of song lyrics and beats.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As Brian Regan (my favorite comedian) would say:
I've walked on the moon.

Unfortunately I have not done this, but this quote is all I can think about when I write this section.

Teach, Learn, Share

When looking to buy carabiners for climbing use, look for ones with a "key gate". They are much easier to use as ropes/bolts/things do not get stuck in the gate as you try to take the carabiner off of something.

When driving a car, the further you stay behind the car in front of you (to a point), the better gas mileage you will get. This is because you eliminate the need to use the brakes as often and waste the kinetic energy stored in your car.
