Ich bin ein Berliner...

About Me

I'm a 27 year old business owner, creative genius, and entrepreneur extraordinaire! In November of 06, I started off on a 2 or 3 year trip around the world. It's just about as cool as you would imagine it to be. I like to study philosophy, booze my gourd off, travel the world, play craps, go jogging, read books, and make more money before breakfast than most bums make all year.

Mother...prays now, she says, that I may learn in my own life and away from home and friends what the heart is and what it feels. Amen. So be it. Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.

Old father, old artificer, stand me now and ever in good stead."

-Stephen Dedalus
