CURRENT MISSION

to get shown the light in the strangest of places

ABOUT ME

I can't decide if I like mountains or oceans more. I like meat too much to be a vegetarian but I support all local organic farmers! I try to pursue music, knowledge, friends, and laughter wherever I go...with a healthy ratio of optimism, cynicism, wonderment, and irony

PHILOSOPHY

I used to be dazed and confused now I'm amazed and amused
