About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover what of the many things life in this world has to offer are most pleasing and fulfiiling

ABOUT ME

I'm a city boy with a global outlook. I talk fast, walk fast, think fast and eat fast. I play American folk rock on my guitar to ease the tension that all my speed produces. I'm probably half as smart as I think I am, and twice as smart as others do. I like words, languages, wheat beers, coffee, soft bed linens, flamenco guitar, Apple Sidra and epic poetry. I'm very tall (just over 2m), and very easy to get along with. Although I find most of the individuals I meet to be pleasant and enjoyable, I think that people at large are buffoons and cannot be trusted.

PHILOSOPHY

Go there and see it for yourself.
