CURRENT MISSION

escape my own head and the normal life i live

ABOUT ME

I want to be what George Carlin once said - "a guy sitting back with a notebook". I like to take notes and make lists and observe. Sometimes I think more than I should act, but I think it's all fine and dandy as I learn.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to live the most fulfilling life possible, whatever that may mean, I can't be sure.
