CURRENT MISSION

Self-Development

ABOUT ME

I'm Texan. Born in Houston, grew up in Austin. I love Austin, it's the "Live music capital of the world" although I'm not much of a musician. I can lend a beat to a drum circle but thats about it.

That being said, take me to some local live music and I'll love you always.

PHILOSOPHY

"There is no such thing as a good influence. All Influence is immoral - immoral from the scientific point of view. Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him. The aim of life is self-development. To realise one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for."

Oscar Wilde

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
