The future is always near but never certain... so look around and live.

About Me



"To love me is to know me,
to hate me is ignorant."


"Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace."
- Albert Schweitzer

My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed, I shall be no man's doing but my own. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.

Though I have fallen short, my sun will rise,
against your concrete back drop,
above your smoggy sky...
Im gonna fly....

I will say it loudly, I have been set free.
I have taken flight
because there is a spirit in me...
Im gonna fly...

- Anonymous Lyrics
