ABOUT ME
I tend to be sparing with words, except for when you get me to rant about something which is important to me - then you got yourself in trouble :D
Also people often think of me as rude for speaking my mind or not reacting to things I think are silly.
Therefore they call me antisocial and arrogant.
That's it for the word of warning.
But if you decide to see for yourself you could find
that I'm not that bad of a person ;)
PHILOSOPHY
Deeds over words.
Grass doesn't grow faster if you pull on it.
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
To keep growing stronger you must step out of your comfort zone and do something which frightens you out of your wits.
Interests
Nature and the human body.
Doing it yourself.
Self-improvement.
Movement.
Fighting.
Food.
Fire.
