About Me



I'm pretty much just looking for a job.

Life can be fun.

Searching for that magic feeling I remember when playing music with people; while sledding down a mountain; while looking at the stars lying on the beach; while making and creating something with my own mind and faculties.

With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood?
