CURRENT MISSION

Circumnavigate the world with human kindness and the will to try it....

ABOUT ME

I'm an open minded, tough, curious young man who simply lost my direction in life when I lost sight of who I was. I find myself struggling with why I wake up each day in the same place, and I've finally decided it's because I don't belong here anymore. I don't belong anywhere yet, I just belong somewhere in the world, drifting in life.

Before I can write an adequate 'about me', I need to know who I am. And who I am is out there, waiting to be found.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not chosen, it is lived. The greatest thing one can do in life is understand the world we live in, as one is meant to understand it.

My life might end up being no more than a drop in a limitless ocean, and yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?

"Our lives are not our own; from womb to tomb, we are bound to others, past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future."

Music, Movies, and Books

As far as books go... Life of Pi, Cloud Atlas, Siddhartha, Rosshalde, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, The Old Man And The Sea....

I'll read anything by David Mitchell, Herman Hesse, and Yann Martel.

I'll listen to any music, and THEN decide if I like it or not. Consequently, I listen to a lot of different music.
