About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Something with satellites and nuclear weapons. I'd have to kill you if I say more.

ABOUT ME

Moved to Berga not very long ago & started using CS again. Looking forward to seeing how this community evolved during my (5-5?) year absence!

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of life. Future and past don't exist anywhere but in our minds; it's our present moment attitude that decides our well being right here, right now.
