About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover the meaning of life, my purpose on this planet. Err..is willing to settle for a a cold beer and with good friends!!

ABOUT ME

Find out!

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything in life, once.. at least..

The objective of life is not to hit your grave in a well preserved body, its to slide in with a beer in one hand a well done beef burger, with juicy/crispy bacon strips and cheese in the other, missing an arm from swimming with sharks and a leg from running with the bulls..shouting..Whoo Hoo.. let's do that again!!

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you how to fish, not how to cook/eat it.
Can teach you how your supposed to behave when an Elephant charges you, only applicable for the ones that have read the same guide book as me.
Can show you how to spot wildlife, listen to the sounds of the forest and make wildly imaginative stories of what it could be..
Can teach you how to drink.. or probably not to..
Can teach you how to kick ass on computers/playstations.. only racing/shooting/gory stuff..of course
