CURRENT MISSION

I am discontent with the United States and am checking my options.

PHILOSOPHY

Humans gauge time based on events. Your time line consists of memories you retain over a given period of time. I've found if you are able to increase the amount of new events on this time line you can essentially live a longer and more stimulating life in the same amount of actual time everyone else is living.

In short, I try to experience as many different types of things as I am able to.
