CURRENT MISSION

I'm just trying to get it right!

ABOUT ME

I'm a student, photographer, musician, and wanna-be-graphic-designer. I hate to toot my own horn, but i may be the easiest person to get along with on the planet. I love to toot my own horn. nah just playing.

Overall, I'm an incredibly laid back person and get the most gratification out of days were i do nothing but talk to random strangers.

I'm obsessed with old trucker hats. I have an enormous collection. Really I'm just a big fan of old things.

Nostalgia is awesome.

I hated the Spanish language my whole life until i saw a use for it. Now it is my favorite subject in school.

PHILOSOPHY

As of late, I've felt that I'm just about up for anything. I believe in God, but I won't align with a religion - They seem to always turn into another way for people to join up against another group of people. I am completely ready for people to quit being so greedy and start to realize that there is really never a reason to stress, fight over 'who is the greediest', or to be hatefully polarized ideologically.

It may be incredibly idealistic, but if we all just took a step back for a second and realized that shit isn't all that bad, we would be living in a better world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 30 hours on buses in one horrible/wonderful weekend in Ecuador that involved whales, police bribes, and pretentious rich people talking about art. I started out in the amazon, went through the sierra, and ended up on the coast.
