ABOUT ME

On principle, I am against writing self-descriptions, because our own self-image is most likely quite different from the image that others have of us, whether uglier or more beautiful. It is common to write here who you would like to be rather than who you really are. Faults often slip the mind on these occasions. So, that being said, check out my interests. Check my Facebook if you want and you will have a basic mosaic of what/who/where/why I am.

PHILOSOPHY

Hedonistic Humanitarianism
