About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To figure it out...

ABOUT ME

I wander around. I'm a wanderer.

PHILOSOPHY

A few quotes that come to mind:

"When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself." - Jacques Cousteau

"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." - Andy Warhol. Be proactive. Be the change you want to see in yourself and in the world.

"It's better to be hated than loved, loved, loved for what you're not." I once heard these words in a song lyric. Seems like a pretty swell idea to me. Be yourself.
