CURRENT MISSION

To find interesting things.

ABOUT ME

hmm.. I am as people see me. One person says one thing, someone else says another and I will disagree with both of them. Maybe it is best just read my references. )) oh! I ask a lot of questions.

PHILOSOPHY

Do things that make a difference to your life or to others and dont waste time on beer and soap operas.
