PHILOSOPHY

An open mind makes life more fun, I pity the fool who ain't got one. Live long, laugh loud and often.

Interests

Anything to do with the arts. Music is my prefured medium and I spend most of my time playing and listening to it. Guitar and Didgeridoo are my main squeezes. Other things you may see me doing: acrobatics, archery, astrology, backpacking, brake dancing, camping, car tuning, coffee, drawing, fire spinning, fireworks, hitchhiking jet skiing, martial arts, meditating next to a fire, skateboarding, snowboarding, snowmobiling, spelunking, throwing knives on an archery range, urban exploration, painting, reciting poetry, sculpting.
