About Me

Born and (mostly) raised in Modesto CA, I moved up to Oregon back in 98. Been here since, except the nine months I spent in Japan on an exchange program. Still working on my BA in Japanese. Deconstructing the self made delusions and misconceptions about reality. Realizing the source of discontent and suffering and the path to their cessation. Working towards liberation of all sentient beings. Seeing through duality to realize the inheirent interconnectedness of the universe. Oh, and bloating my ego. Why else would I have a MySpace? What Tool song are you?
You are Lateralus. You are unique, intelligent, and most importantly, an individual. You are probably a leader and you see and do things your own way, which is usually different from the norm. We expect big things to come from you.
