About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Searching for answers, exploring, adventruing, Hitch hiking and sharing rides, my face is unshaved!

ABOUT ME

I am a "wobbly", aka an Industrial worker of the world
I am a vegetarian, a writer, a singer, and a human being.

Questioning. If you are open to discussion, then i will probably ask you 'why' about everything. Why do you think what you think.

i am open minded and love to discuss philosophy, Religion, and politics with out getting upset or mad!

Searching for answers to all my questions trying to figure out what makes a person a person and trying to find the history of this land and earth.

Looking for stories, personality and all the other things that make people, people.

PHILOSOPHY

"I don't think we ever thought about why we did it. Career was a dirty word to us. Playing music was something we did like eating and drinking, breathing and shitting. It seemed to be a natural function." Steve Lake, singer - bassist of Zounds

"If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us walk together…” --- Lila Watson, Australian Aboriginal woman, in response to mission workers

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I Unicycle

Teach, Learn, Share

I conversant and try to share the knowledge I've learned from books and living. It seems everybody has a different opinion that you may or may not agree with, however, they still usually have at least something to offer as far as advice, information, or skills go.
