Surrounding myself with huge dreamers. I love making people laugh, snowboarding, playing guitar for cute girls, flying, SCUBA diving, triathalons, traveling the world, experiencing new cultures and awkward situations, listening to people who've gone before me and hanging out with Alberto Parra (Regis "Pazharnik" Philbin).
I want to create relationships with people who have the drive to become better people, but may not have the mentorship, coaching or association to do so...
"Man in the Arena"
It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails,at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
