CURRENT MISSION

I am not afraid of tomorrow...for I have seen yesterday and I love today.

ABOUT ME

I want to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

I laugh until my face hurts, think until my brain hurts and love until my heart hurts. I embrace change. I believe everything happens for a reason. I like to write, debate and entertain. My mind is not tied to a religious dogma or political ideology. Happy hour is my favorite time of the day. I think the sooner we admit that we don't know everything, the wiser we become.
I am openly honest and sometimes say too much too soon...

PHILOSOPHY

Word spread across the countryside about the wise Holy Man who lived in a small house atop the mountain. A man from the village decided to make the long and difficult journey to visit him. When he arrived at the house, he saw an old servant inside who greeted him at the door. "I would like to see the wise Holy Man," he said to the servant. The servant smiled and led him inside. As they walked through the house, the man from the village looked eagerly around the house, anticipating his encounter with the Holy Man. Before he knew it, he had been led to the back door and escorted outside. He stopped and turned to the servant, "But I want to see the Holy Man!"

"You already have," said the old man. "Everyone you may meet in life, even if they appear plain and insignificant... see each of them as a wise Holy Man. If you do this, then whatever problem you brought here today will be solved."

Music, Movies, and Books

Pink Floyd is my all-time favorite band. It is music you can see and feel. Powerful.
I am a lover of all music from classic rock, to jazz, to trance and drum and bass (I used to be big into the rave scene of the mid 90s). I love live music and play the acoustic guitar, but mainly just as a hobby.

My favorite all-time TV show is LOST. Seinfield and The Office come in a close 2nd though.

My favorite movie is Magnolia and Ferris Bueler's Day Off. Or maybe Vanilla Sky and Breakfast Club. Hard to pick just one or two.

I am currently reading books on the Czech Republic and Poland in hopes that I will be heading that way in a few months. I'm also trying to learn the Czech language...not easy. (Especially when they are just words in a book with no actual audio)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I have ever seen were the glaciers in Alaska. These are mountains of frozen water that has been untouched for millions of years. What struck me the most was how neon blue they were.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to spin a basketball on your finger. And also some impressive bar tricks.
Otherwise I'd just be happy showing you around the beach (believe it or not, there's more to Panama City Beach than just the water)
