Well to start off, I'm a simple dude with simple taste. Besides that, where I'm from is irrelevant, and where I'm going is indeterminate. Although words paint an incomplete picture, my adventures should give you a hint, or preview of what you can expect. Just don't set your expectation too high or I will have to bring you back to earth.

PHILOSOPHY
"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children."
Native American Proverb

"Made up my mind to make a new start. Going to California with an aching in my heart. Someone told me there's a girl out there, with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair."
Led Zeppelin
