About Me


I think I spent 18 years of my life, trying to become something, I wanted to become good at things, I wanted to become good at guitar, I wanted to become good at school and grades and everything I could do, in that perspective, I'm not okay the way I am unless if I get good at things. I realized I had the game wrong, because the game was to find out what I already was. The whole system that we live in drills into us that we're powerless that we're weak that our society is evil, etc and so forth. It's all a big fat lie, we are powerful, beautiful and extraordinary. There is no reason why we cannot understand who we truly are, where we are going, there is no reason why the average individual cannot be fully empowered, we are incredibly powerful beings.
You never leave any of it. You’re married to these people. It’s a relationship. Everyone that you come across in your life that you had intimate relations with are still part of you. You don’t really leave them, you just might not be standing in the same room with them all the time. -MK

My Interests

pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...

I'd like to meet:

"Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion - in the long run, these are the only people who count." - Robert Heinlein

Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves.

don't take advice from someone who's not in a place where you want to be.
