ABOUT ME

My personality is a very laid back one. I take pleasure in people. It bothers me when someone will put down another culture and then when asked if they’ve ever been there they more often than not say “no.” It smacks of immaturity and a lack of travel. There are great things about every place and shitty. There are also stereotypes that we all use and we are bad, bad people for buying into them. Damn us… just joking, but seriously I think some people choose to search out the negative instead of working with what’s at hand. On top of that, who really gives a shit about most of the things that happen during the course of a day anyway? Relax already.
I enjoy drinking quite bit (with others). I pray never to become an alcoholic as it would be a tragedy to have to stop and lose such an enjoyable act.

PHILOSOPHY
