CURRENT MISSION

to obtain Oprah-status; to dominate the world with love and creativity; to teach English to people of all shapes and sizes..

ABOUT ME

I write a lot of folk songs, and then I sing them really loudly, and sometimes really quietly. I don't lie to people, ever. (Unless I'm being sarcastic.)

I paint a lot of self-portraits. Recently I discovered that this makes me a pompous asshole, who knew?

I invented spell-check when I was 7, and I retired at 14.

PHILOSOPHY

One or two sarcastic comments are funny, but as they say, "with every ounce of sarcasm is an ounce of truth." It's an adage more easily understood the more often people say stupid things to you. Like when you have a terribly bad hair-cut, and everyone gives you shit for it. Only this hair-cut is internal, and it represents everything that we have to offer the world. I feel no need to insult other people in order to push myself higher in this world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything is quite amazing from here on out.

Teach, Learn, Share

Listen to everyone. EVERYONE. Listen, and think, and then respond. Some of the best things I've learned in life were from hobos and ex-cons. I'm not friends with these guys, but they're full of experience.
