ABOUT ME

I'm from Alabama...just finished my masters degree in London after teaching English in Japan for two years. i'd like to find a happy medium between peace-promoting diplomat and violent revolutionary one day.

TPHILOSOPHY

For, believe me, the secret of the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment of existence is: to live dangerously!-the gay science

wine a little, feel better!

PICK UP HITCHHIKERS!!!!

Why should all life be work, when we all can borrow.
Let's think only of today, and not worry about tomorrow.
-Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald
