About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To never forget the feelings of nostalgia, anticipation, or eudaimonia

ABOUT ME

I love life and truly believe in putting myself in the hands of nature to find the lemons life has to offer. I am an extreme fatist and idealist. I am a huge movie buff and book worm. uhmm. i play guitar and saxphone. love to experience new things. I have a plan to do something i've never done before every year for the next seven years. first year is marathon. next year triathlon. after climb a mountain. for the rest, meet me and find out. I love to talk and love coffee shops. i am passionate about things and love to write. any other questions just ask.

PHILOSOPHY

I am an extreme fatist and idealist. I believe that the universe has a divine plan and that there are signs in everyday life pointing us to what we were ultimately meant to do. Everyone has either a mission to accomplish, a story to tell, or a dream to realize. I believe in Karma. I believe in the good of humanity. The inner being of man is ultimately good. I believe that our lives day by day are either a comedy, a tragedy, or an irony. I also believe that all the Ewoks that died on Endor were the assholes of the tribe.
