ABOUT ME

I am an 18 year old white guy... but so much more
I guess Im somewhat Polish and Lithuanian and German and Scottish
I am say 5'11 and have blue-green eyes and blonde-going-on-brown hair
What is most amazing about me is my curiosity and wonder with everything in the world, and my undying vigour to see and learn it all
I am a scientist, i take things on experience and logic.
Because of this i am an atheist, but I am well versed in various religions.
In school I pursue Life sciences, Chinese, Art History, and English with a passion.

I am an amatuer writer, poet, singer and song writer [in both English and chinese]

I am a very funny an sociable person.

If you asked people at my school what 3 words described me you would get " Confident, Smart, crazy"

While the city life is my norm, I am an outdoors-man to the bone.

Since kindergarten i have been an explorer, hiker and camper.

I want to meet everyone, see everything, and experience it all.

I am fascinated with the scope of the future, and someday i will be able to say that Ive truly seen it all

I love discussing poetry, philosophy, life stories, universal truths and whatever else you might enjoy talking about

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short for being sad

At the end of the day i can say that i love my life

It doesnt matter if im rich or famous. I just need to be able to enjoy life

People are too easily caught up in the drama of a single instant, to me, life must be taken as a whole

If something great happens to me earlier in the day
I will not be made angry if something small happens later on

In the grand scheme of things little matters

I am never angry, anger is the weakest of feelings

The proper and mature delegation of emotion to any occasion, rather than dispassionate action, is the most laudable attribute a human can attain
