CURRENT MISSION

Live my life with as few regrets as possible

ABOUT ME

I've been called "scary", "giving off bad energy", and many times "cold" - direct quotes from people who surfed (or wanted to) at my place. So, if you're faint-hearted, you might want to stay away. I enjoy helping people who appreciate (or at least act as if they appreciate) what I do.
If I'm home I most likely WILL host you, but only if you actually tell me a good reason to meet YOU. Copy/paste requests I am not a fan of.

PHILOSOPHY

If you want to know, ask. If you want to tell me, don't wait for me to ask - just tell me. If you want to do something (that will not hurt others or get you in jail), do it - in the end you'll only regret what you had a chance to do and didn't. And never argue with idiots - nobody can tell the difference.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing and experiencing, and having the privilege to be a part of my son growing up, every day - It doesn't get much more amazing than that. Riding in the front seat of a helicopter is pretty cool. Experiencing true love, fleeting as it may be, is literally breathtaking. Being a part of a huge international singing competition. Feeling more at home in a foreign country than I ever did in my own. Being left by your true love - you can find out what you're really made of. Having almost been run over by 18-wheeler. Going back to your childhood home (and country) after having been away for a decade. Running for the first time after breaking your hip. Having my life saved by my five year old son. After I thanked him, he said "It's ok, Baba". How amazing is that..
