About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see what kind of innocent trouble i can get myself into...

ABOUT ME

I believe in experiencing as much as you can and traveling as much as you can. I believe in balance. I am a realist and a dreamer, a loudmouth and a listener. A man of faith and a spiraling skeptic. I am often pulled apart by what I feel to be true based on my experience as a man and what I know can be doubted. I believe in the incapacitation of consuming love but have had only one long relationship. I believe in the order of seemed chaos though my reference frame cannot show it. I believe in the absolute freedom to act and the necessary slavery to be responsible for those actions. I believe morality should be lived not legislated. (Though living your thoughts is always hard) State sanctioned morality is for robots not people. I believe in a God, though my only justification is limited to the sphere of my experience and thus is a existential leap in the dark. I don't expect you to make the same leap. But i do hope your smart enough to look past such loaded terms as "atheist" "thiest" "agnostic" and look past the fallicious arguments that each camp brings and actually take the time to think it out yourself...

PHILOSOPHY

1.Life is about dialogue. In the end I’m just... pondering... posing a theory. Cus really, we are all full of shit.

2.Every person you meet has the potentiality to increase you as a person as you have the potentiality to do to them. Some increase your sense of adventure, some your sense of style, some your view on life, etc. On the other side there are those who drag you into routine, place you in a box, and/ or take you a step back to a lesser state... The Chance of either is locked up in the moment before...But anything is better then just sitting still.

3. Just keep moving. Keep drinking (hehe), Keep living. And when you do decide to stop for a breather, contemplate the stars.
