CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

My current mission is 'Mini Adventurer' because right now I'm appreciating the local hills and countryside around were I live.... I have wanderlust for Aberdeen! Im writing this in spring and right now the weather is beautiful and nature is coming to life. The best way to spectate it on my bike!

PHILOSOPHY

Bill Hicks put it pretty well: The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round; it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun... for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, and they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid -EVER- because, this is just a ride." And we... KILL those people HAHAHA! "Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride - SHUT HIM UP! Look at my furrows of worry! Look at my big bank account, and my family! This just HAS to be real!"... But it's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. A choice, right now, between fear and love.
