Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
expanding my conciousness and learning from what the world has to offer.
ABOUT ME
I love random suprises. I enjoy the good life, relaxed pace. I have a small footprint, i strive for simplicity, and that is sort of odd coming from such a a complex individual.
I am highly variable in my expressive qualities.
I have a remarkable ability to adapt to new environments.
I am extremely happy to be alive and well.
I am very thankful for my good health and the love that I have experienced in my short time here on the
planet.
I love good food, i like cooking it and eating it. I enjoy pretty much everything, I consider myself an "opportunivore"
I have an amazing bank of stories that I tell in a very animated and enthusiastic way, I have had a great deal of very interesting and exciting events happen in my life and it has made me the person I am today.

PHILOSOPHY
i am an optimist and somewhat fatalistic.
do as thou wilt
everything in moderation--including moderation
I do not know who i am or what i am- i know i am here and that for some reason it was worth while for thing like "myself" to "be" and call its self a self, and ask why?
rock and roll

Music, Movies, and Books
i am a self programmer.
I respond well to audio/visual stimulation when it interests me. otherwise movies can sometimes be torture.
i like all kinds of documentaries, i will pretty much always make time for a good documentary. I am always asking what do i want to learn?
Books: i don't read enough, but i have read a lot.
