About Me

CURRENT MISSION

still trying to figure out what the heck is going on . . .

ABOUT ME

about that figuring out what's happening stuff, i've got some ideas; . . . seen some stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

laughing at the absurdity of existence

-- my best guess at the moment:
laughter helps it all make sense . . .
