OfflineIn a world that seems crazy, chaotic, and imperfect, I'm just doing my best to remember that everything is exactly as it is supposed to be, and is, in fact, in perfect order. I have two ridiculously awesome kids (13 and 10). My greatest passion is music - I'm a drummer, and I love to sing (not usually at the same time). I listen to Beethoven's ninth symphony at least once a month. I love motorcyling - precious little compares to flying through some tight, twisty roads on a beautiful day. Working out, and staying fit and healthy is a daily focus for me. Anything else you need to know, just ask - you'll get an answer.
Some of my favorite quotes:
"We are already one and we imagine we are not. And what we have to recover is our original unity."
- Thomas Merton
"Your own soul is nourished when you are kind, and it is destroyed when you are cruel."
- King Solomon
"Gratitude is riches, and complaint is poverty; and worst I ever had was wonderful."
- Brother Dave Gardner
"Self-actualizing people must be what they can be."
- Abraham Maslow
"The law of floatation was not discovered by contemplating the sinking of things."
- Thomas Troward
Some of the people who influence me: John Bonham, Dave Grohl, Steve Harris, Taylor Hawkins, Bruce Dickinson, Ian Astbury, Chris Cornell, Danny Carey, Bob Marley, Mike Ness, Sting, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra... just to name a few.
