About Me

Life is about passion, my friend. Without it, we are lost as human beings. We become mundane, boring, monotone individuals living a daily routine trying to just "get by". We lost that spark, that glimmer of the eye that makes us strive to discover the unkown and achieve the impossible. Passion is the source of inspiration. Passion is the fire in the veins of lovers, fighters, discoverers, inventors and anyone who knows the true value of love.
With that in mind, I try to apply as much passion to my life as I can. Obviously, I do not always have that spark, that glimmer of the eye, that fire in my veins. Afterall, I am but human. But I find that in trying to apply it at all times, life takes on new meaning. My goal is to look back at my life from whatever celestial place my soul takes refuge, and think, "Man, I might not have ever been rich or famous, but I REALLY LIVED...it was crazy, it was sometimes dangerous, it was fun, and most importantly it was passionate".
