About Me


I'm lucky to have Erin as my best friend and girlfriend. :)

The truest religion is simply kindness.

There is always something to smile and be thankful for.

Nothing is entirely good or bad.

The joy is in the hunt.

I hack life and there will always be a raver in me.

Freedom is essential.

"All things change in a dynamic environment. Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you." -Pupper Mater, "Ghost in the Shell"

Sometimes I get frustrated...

Politics and Taxes

Paying for the pork barrel contracts, the wars, and all our covert ops to defend this "free" country and its economic interests makes me sick. The truth is that neither conservatives or liberals belie...

Back Underground, Finally!

This morning I explored The Cave of the Bells with some people I met through the local Grotto (a sort of caving club). It was a pretty good trip. Bells is a wet cave and fairly muddy. My rock climb...
