CURRENT MISSION

To see and experience as much as possible before I kick it. It's all about adventure

ABOUT ME

I am and will be a musician and artist until i'm dead... and most likely even after that. I breathe music, and live art. They're my passions, my reasons for living, my answers to the stupid deserted island question. Beyond that I'm an aspiring philosopher and studying psychologist. I want to know what makes the world tick, what makes me tick, to step outside the machine every human uses to view the world around them and to be able to understand what we can't see in our waking lives. I'm grasping for the intangible Truth, and enjoying every moment.

PHILOSOPHY

You have about 20 hours to discuss this, cus that's the only way you're getting an answer.
