CURRENT MISSION

Looking to find out something about... myself? other people? the world? Probably just myself.

ABOUT ME

I've been running my mouth for far too long-- recent experiences have taught me that I should probably do more listening, watching, waiting, and thinking.

But for those of you who need to know, I've got some ideas-- big, small, good, bad. All kinds. Right now I'm trying to figure out which ones are worth acting upon and which ones need to be let go, and how to do both of those things.
