CURRENT MISSION

I just wanna DANCE!!!

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty laid back... "with my mind on my money and my money on my mind"? By "laid back" I mean that I'm not easily exciteable. And even when I am excited or interested in something I don't seem to show it so much. I like animals, which is part of why I don't eat them and try not to wear them. My lone vice is food. My breath usually smells like Spicey Nacho Doritos, garlic, kimchee, Hagendaz or Colgate Total toothpaste. I have a pretty good talent of laughing at myself. When I seem to be having the worst luck possible, I can't help but see the humor in that, or just life in general.

PHILOSOPHY

"We must be the change we wish to see in the world"

"Do unto others..."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a blind man jaywalk across a busy street

As for me, I climbed Mt. Fuji outside climbing season, alone, without food or water, and in loafers... wait a minute, that's the DUMBEST thing I've ever done.
I once saved a jet from crashing when I was a mechanic in the Air Force.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some basic salsa dancing and how to make a prison shank. Otherwise, I can cook a hell of a grilled cheese sandwich and can make some other types of easy bachelor food. I'm always up for experimenting in the kitchen(all vegetarian of course)

I'd like to learn all types of ballroom dancing and how to play the guitar.
