CURRENT MISSION

To give more than has been given to me. To not get caught up in the politics of life that I can do nothing about. But to be involved in things I can do something about.

ABOUT ME

I am 39, clean, don't smoke or do drugs, not looking for topless bars (like it seems most guys are!), and love good conversation and laughter. Friends tell me they are refreshed and sad to see me go when I spend time with them. Laughter is great medicine.
Politics - I am a libertarian and a voluntaryist. This means I don't think anyone should be forced to do anything with the threat of violence - the system we basically have today. You can guess my views on war.:-)

PHILOSOPHY

Not every crisis needs to be looking for the final exit. I have thought that before. But these days, crisis are opportunities for growth.
