About Me


..Ex-Psychonaut
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychonaut
The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey – don't worry, don't be afraid ever, because this is just a ride."
"much too much too much too young"and still trying to make sense of any of it..
lived fast, totally failed to die young :)

Well son, a funny thing about regret, It's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done..
