CURRENT MISSION

To read a book in every continent....

ABOUT ME

I've never liked trying to describe or explain myself. You see, it's so much easier when some one else does it for you because self-analysis is just about the darnednest thing to do. The whole problem is here you are trying to be objective about yourself, but at the same time trying to put a decent spin on your description so people think 'hey, this kid is cool'. So what you end up with is a confused litany which though striving to be modest still reeks of some serious self-glorification even if it is in a deprecating manner. And just to assure you, this kid IS cool

PHILOSOPHY

I believe people are inherently good. They just don't know it yet.
Life's a breeze, smile.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: - Lots of sci-fi/fantasy (tragic anti-heroes are a favorite of mine), epic fantasy saga's with flawed heroes, travelogues, work satires, nick hornby....loads more...
Music: - Mellowed out as I got older, but leaning more on the indie side. Enjoys good old fashion hip-hop (talking taking back the block parties man), alt rock and when the mood strikes some nostalgic 80s.
Movies: - High Fidelity is a perennial favorite but light viewing mostly.
Michel Goundry does make some amazing stuff though

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have sailed with dolphins. I have battled snakes. I have been robbed by monkeys. I have captured marlin. But I have yet to ride a tiger.

Teach, Learn, Share

Train stations in eastern europe are the best places to find apartments. Especially if hawked by elderly women. In Khao San, it is next to impossible to just get a normal massage. In Malaysia, as for your teh tarik to be extra KAO for the additional kick.
