About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Free Water Soloing in Palma Mallorca

ABOUT ME

Well it's a little difficult to talk about myself because I can't really see myself like other people do, but here goes...

I consider my self a good/nice person. I believe respect is one of the most important virtues that a human being can posses. I would never cause any one harm on purpose. The last impression that I want to display is to be rude or inconsiderate. I consider myself extremely lucky for the wonderful life I have been able to live and all of the opportunities that have been given to me. I cannot begin to explain how grateful I am to the creator of the universe (whatever that may be) for letting me be so lucky.

I am very adventurous and usually up for anything. I love being outside, and I have the spirit of a 9 year old. Sometimes when I get excited I bark like a dog or make monkey noises and beat my chest. I guess it's fair to say that I am a little crazy/weird...but I like that about myself so I'm not changing. I love my mama, nature, shes the most beautiful/powerful thing in the universe and I hope never to upset her.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe the universe is the ultimate utopia and every thing that happens is what nature intended to happen, even when it is ugly. The only rules are the laws of nature...the rest is up to how everything evolves, and it is supposed to be that way.

As I said in my description, I am a very lucky person to have been able to have live such a fortunate life...I am infinitely grateful for all that I have been given...but sometimes my happiness turns to grief when I wonder If I deserve all of this...and when I wonder if I deserve it more than the people suffering in Syria or Sudan. if they deserve the suffering that they were born into....people say life isn't fair...what is that supposed to mean?....why have I done nothing to help them...that's when my happiness becomes a feeling of selfishness...any way
