About Me



it is the best of times, and the worst of times.
but things get better, it is a good life indeed.

I like to ask people who say "AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD" if they've ever lived in another country. Only 10% of the US population owns a passport.

My Interests

REVOLUTION!

Etymology: Late Latin, revolvere "a turn around"
a: a sudden, radical, or complete change
b: a fundamental change in political organization; especially the overthrow or renunciation of one government or ruler and the substitution of another by the governed
c: activity or movement designed to effect fundamental changes in the socioeconomic situation
d: a fundamental change in the way of thinking about or visualizing something : a change of paradigm [ie: the Copernican Revolution]

Every single molecule I'm composed of, every thought & word, every minute of everyday is dedicated to planning, promoting, and progressing our revolution. we are all in this together!
