About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeking my spiritual side. Trying to find out where I fit into the bigger picture of life. Trying to find my mission.

ABOUT ME

I'm the kind of guy some people love and some even hate. This is not because I try and hurt people or am nasty in any way. It is because I am a free spirit and can't be caged and so some people feel uncomfortable with that.
I would like to think that I am mostly contributing positive rather than negative to this world.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone one can teach me something :-)
