Kiss Me, Deadly.

Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself.

About Me

..
I am a corporate White Knight and a Renaissance Man.

'Better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven'
MILTON (1667)
'Everything you do should be for a purpose, even if that purpose is just to have fun'
K-M-D (2007)
Things I try to live by:

* Do what you love, and do your best at it.
* Never lose enthusiasm despite failure.
* Adapt and remain flexible.
* Keep a strong body and you'll keep a sharp mind.
* Seek and surround yourself with intelligent, talented, and reliable people.

I try to live a life with passion, sustained only by life-affirming moments that make me appreciate what I have, who I am, and the beauty I see around me.
Sometimes I'm laid back and easy to get along with, sometimes brutally direct, but I always try to be honest and well-intentioned.
I respect those who deserve it, but I abhor those who are ignorant, selfish, and petty.
