ABOUT ME
Searching yourself from the inside out is scary. You may find things that you really don't want to see. The mold and decay of things that you thought you once threw away still linger, on the bottom of the garbage pile. Where does one start? Why would one even want to start in the first place? I am starting, so that I can be a real man, being true to myself and fellow man. It's so easy to just sit in a lump on the couch and feed ourselves the neo nazi bullshit that fox tv sends to us via our mind numbing device we call T.V. It's so easy to lose ourselves and be apathetic about the things that we want to do and will never do. It saddens me that we are like this. Myself, I want to break free from this, and to do this I am taking it to the extreme. Why? Because I have to fight with the same intensity against what is holding us back as americans. I have a passion and a vision and I will pass it on one person at a time. My goal on this trip is not just to have fun and to rock climb, its to come clean with myself, and help others to come clean also.
So, this trip for me will be one of enlightenment. I want to throw away the old things that are really not me. One of the biggest ones being pride. I hate pride, I hate what it does to people! Pride is one of the ugliest things I have ever see. It causes wars, murders, and a whole gammot of undesired things. It's hard to be prideful when you have to ask a stranger for food or money, when you live in a park, when you smell like ass. This will be good for me, but it is hard, because I spend alot of time with myself and my thoughts. Some things I just don't want to think about, but it's needed.
One may say to themselves,"I am perfectly fine, I am happy, nothing wrong here." Most of the time that's not true. Once one stops numbing oneself with drink and media and all the pretty things that we own, we are left with our truest form, whether it be bad or good. Now take this form and reshape it, reprogram it, without all the pulls of the world and see what turns out. Don't hide things from yourself and come to terms.
Once you start breaking down pride and ego, life becomes so much different. People seem different, non labeled, non ranked in the pecking order of life.
Think about it, a world full of love, real love, true love, not love that fits our own agenda, but a love that gives the last penny to someone else, even when you yourself may go hungry. If we all broke down pride and ego and lived like this, no one would ever go hungry.
Love-A beautiful word! It's my goal to live it. It's my goal to be it. It's my goal to show it. It sums everything up, all the truths in life. There is nothing truer than love.
---There is only one way to end this journey, love.
Nothing more manly, than to love. Its a shame that we live in a society where it is not attractive for a man to talk about these things.
Oh well,...so be it, I am a man who is in love with the idea of pure love. I am thru with having to keep up with the game. Done with the macho bullshit that we think we need to do to look good. You know what, I feel great about that, because I am getting free, refusing to be a slave to what we call normalcy.
PHILOSOPHY
Love,..and when you are done,...love some more! Never ever judge anyone, always look for the good,...no matter how terrible a person might seem. Even a killer or scammer needs to be loved and understood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I turned 30,..I sold all of my things and started hitching,...it has been an absolutley amazing thing. Nothing I have done in life has came close to satisfying me as much as that! I have met some wonderful amazing people and gone some beautiful places,...my favorite which would be "Ashland, Or."!
Teach, Learn, Share
If there is one thing in life that I want to teach,...it's love,..plain and simple,..nothing is more important than that,...period!
I come from a background where I did not have that growing up, and thru the years of hardship,..I have learned it,..the ways I have learned are very personal,..so when you get to know me,..I will tell you!
