CURRENT MISSION

Hitchhiking across North America

ABOUT ME

Shy, bookish, abnormal, uneconomical, gentlemanly, inflatable cosmic ninja.

PHILOSOPHY

I am trying to avoid turning into a drone, which is difficult to do while surrounded by drones. Dronedom is contagious.

Interests

Improvisational guitar playing, making sarcastic comments, getting caught up in endless political/philosophical discussions.
