CURRENT MISSION

on a relentless hunt for beauty, mischief and wisdom.

ABOUT ME

i'm just starting to learn how to appreciate each moment, no-matter how "insignificant". i have an insatiable curiosity for travel, books, art, and especially music. my friends are my world and my inspiration. together we make myth and magic. i think its a shame that there are so many people on this planet that i will never get to know... so this, here, is an attempt to remedy that as much as i can.

if you'd like, take a look at my myspace page. it's much more detailed:
