CURRENT MISSION

Play hard, work hard, have fun, and keep on meeting people from around the globe.

ABOUT ME

I've always tried to do what I set my mind on. I've learned lots of extra curricular stuff and played/play various sports. I was raised with music with my mother being a music teacher.
I guess in the grand scheme of things I am an explorer at heart and am always thinking of a bigger picture. No assumptions, no expectations, just curiosity. If I come to a fork in the road I take the road less traveled. That makes sense to me....in..a..not making sense kind of way.
I've broken hearts and had mine broken. I've laughed and I've cried. I've had the largest rushes imaginable and been bored stiff. I've seen more than most people will in their whole life yet am still naive.
All in all, I try to learn from my mistakes and from others. I try to keep a cool head in the most trying of situations. And most importantly I try to welcome others and give what I can for those less fortunate than me.

PHILOSOPHY

Cherish the time that we have, for it will become the past very soon.
