CURRENT MISSION

To see more of the world and help those who live in it.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people. I like to talk about many different topics. I get along with nerds, jocks, hippies, goths, ex-convicts, punks, nice people, assholes, senior citizens, and children.
I like to take risks. I think you should treat everyone the way you would like to be treated.
The world would be a better place if people could try to put themselves in other people's shoes.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a journey and the journey is the destination.
