About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be a better person

ABOUT ME

i talk alot, i smile alot, i laugh alot, i touch my hair alot, wave my hands alot, stumble alot, think alot, daydream alot. i'm messy, funny, colorful, scatterbrained and probably pretty annoying at times. but the best ones always are.

PHILOSOPHY

survive for as long as you can. and have fun along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i tend to get VERY easily enthusiastic over things i see; a sunset, a beautiful sky, a cloud that looks like something or someone, the way nature in northern-norway looks on crystal clear, wind-free summer days ... nature, i think, is the most amazing thing i've seen. yup, it always comes down to beautiful mother nature.

and it was pretty amazing standing on top of the pyramids in teotihuacan! wow.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can tell you a bit about modern aesthetic theory, if nothing else :P

and also: (north)norwegian profanities, basic guitar chords, procrastination, how to tie your shoe laces and random facts and opinions on norwegian culture and society, if you wanna know.
