About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To laugh. A lot.

ABOUT ME

I'm a kid who is stuck in a 23 year old body.
Loves to indulge in a platter of positive friends with a side of laughter.

By now you would have probably guessed my penchant for gluttony =)

Do not believe that i'm supposed to find happiness at the end of the road, but just enjoying it as life takes me on a ride.

Hates how watching so much TV has turned him into an ADD with the equivalent attention span of a turnip.

Enjoys drinking and partying socially, i refer to myself as a passive hedonist. I dont go out looking for it much, but doesnt mean i enjoy it any less. Get it? Haha.

I believe i should throw myself out of the comfort zone, as it is always rewarding to do so.

Add me on facebook for anti-serial killer verification purposes.

PHILOSOPHY

99% of the world are assholes. Make it a point to find that 1%.
