About Me

The hate around this place bores me.
I'm Mack. I like good movies, good music, and good people.
I've recently returned from a 9 week adventure, backpacking around Europe and it was the most fun I've ever had. My advice to all is save up and take a trip like that yourself. It's got me thinking more about adventure and even less than ever about school. Thoughts of moving to NYC, working for a year in Australia, working for food and board on an organic farm (www.wwoof.org), and backpacking South America all run through my head now.
Check out Couchsurfing.com - Was a huge part of my travels and will probably be a large part of my life at home.
I (used to) work for Napster and [it was] quite a sweet job, I must say. I work(ed) with breakdancing freestyle artists, ramen stand entrepreneurs, and an I-Bar DJ.
I don't like cynicism. I find it pointless and a product of fear.
Stop saying: I'm not...
Stop saying: I hate...
Stop saying: Don't talk to me if...
Type up the love; leave the hate out of mind. You'll find you get much more out of life that way.
Where do I put my AIM name? It's Mackerous
