CURRENT MISSION

To end up light years away from where I started

ABOUT ME

I want to live as many adventures as possible in as many different places as I can get to. The fringes are what excite and intrigue me, I like finding art that challenges and removes me from the monotony of this 9-5 culture that demands that the only time we can truly live is when we're on "vacation." I want to find out what all of this:life, the universe etc. is all about.

PHILOSOPHY

I think people should think outside of the social paradigm they live in. I find it too often that people treat what they have been told as doctrine and irrefutable. When Descartes said, "I think therefore I am," he was proposing that mankind throw away everything they know and construct their knowledge base from what they saw around them, instead of following what they were told to believe.
