CURRENT MISSION

In learning, there is no failure.

ABOUT ME

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

PHILOSOPHY

1) Always look cool.
2) Always have a plan.
3) Failing #2, see #1.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked off a perfectly good airplane in pitch darkness. Oh, and somehow managed to survive the subsequent collision with someone else 600 feet above the ground.

Teach, Learn, Share

It's impossible to be happy with someone else unless you're happy with with yourself. For better or worse, every instant in your life has conspired to make you the person you are now. Be proud of that person to find meaning in the best and the worst that life has given you.
