About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The more mundane the content, the more likely the masses will consume it.

ABOUT ME

Peace. "It's never too late to have a happy childhood"

PHILOSOPHY

Every man is in his own person the whole human race without a detail lacking....I knew I should not find in any philosophy a single thought which had not passed through my own head, nor a single thought which had not passed through the heads of millions and millions of men before I was born.
- Mark Twain in Eruption
In other words, all I know is that I know nothing.

Interests

Long walks on the beach and dinner by candlelight.

Teach, Learn, Share

Living in New Orleans is the closest thing to livin in another country within the US. "Third world and proud of it" is a New Orleans slogan and after you come visit for a bit, you'll understand the dichotomy of our city and everyone who visits wants to live here.
