CURRENT MISSION

to learn from everything and never be tied down

ABOUT ME

Looking back on my life now, I can see what was really going on. Chemically, anyway. Fight or flight was an everyday response in my brain since about the age of 6. In my later teen years I found myself running away from everything. At the age of 18 I made a 5 minute decision to join the US Army and shipped out 13 days later. Completed Basic Training like it was a peice of cake. After getting kicked out of the Army because I ran from that too, I became homeless. I eventually claimed the title of "houseless" instead. I packed a bag and left my "home"town where being homeless was basically illegal and set out to the open road with no real destination. I arrived in Portland, Oregon one day and haven't left since. Now I feel tied down being here and I'm probably hitting the road again

PHILOSOPHY

What wells up in me is not the hope of better days but a serene and primitive indifference to everything
and to myself. But I must break this too limp and easy curve. I need my lucidity.
Yes, everything is simple. It's men who complicate things. Don't let them tell us
any stories. Don't let them say about the man condemned to death: "He is going
to pay his debt to society," but: "They're going to chop his head off." It may seem
like nothing. But it does make a little difference. There are some people who prefer
to look their destiny straight in the eye."
-Albert Camus
