To be rather than to seem.

About Me

So...it appears as though I've joined the evil empire! Now I too will lose productivity and waste away my days searching for absolutely nothing. Let's see...about me...well, a lot of different people seem to think a lot of different things. I'm just a guy who sees things a little differently than most. Slightly Left Of Center, if you will. My biggest goal in life is to be better tomorrow than I am today. And that, as they say, is that.
