hello summer.

About Me

I'm not content with leaving things for "someday""There's a race of men that don't fit in, a race that can't stay still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, and they roam the world at will. They range the field and they rove the flood, and they climb the mountain's crest; Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood, and they don't know how to rest..."-- Robert W. Service
