GC's Interests
General
Being free, running in the rain, barefooting, trail running, parkour, Krav Maga, hangin w/ friends and family, slack-lining soon, fixing things, backpacking/camping, hiking, exploring/adventure, cliff jumping, climbing, helping others, exercising, TRAVEL, music, movies, run-swim-runs, REI, gear, knives, combatives, meditating, being quiet and observing the world around me, reading, making stuff, axemanship, bushcraft, survival, chocolate, being cold, pushing the limits, maps, mud, water, fire. To be and to last. The human utility capacity. Every human being has the responsibility to continuously develop themselves physically and mentally so as to be fully prepared to help others, especially in difficult situations in life. One must be strong to be useful. I believe everything deserves respect. Life is sacred. Every thing is sacred. Be quiet and observe, listen, smell, see, feel. There is always more than meets the eye. Breathe, relax, focus. Be aware. Experience. Grow. Live. Survive.

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
I want to meet people with awesome habits.
"The moment for me is that in which I am gliding through the world where time and space are fluid, the world of the whales' song and the infinite blue. I am transformed by the structures deep in my genes. Another more ancient kind of being is overlaid onto my postmodern ,human self, ancient software awakened by the depths, running on my modern meat machine. It is a distinct and different life, the life of the dive.
In the most superficial sense, the life of the dive is lived in fragments of a few minutes each, frustrated by our physical limitations as breathless and fragile land creatures.
Here is the secret : it is all one long dive. In the awakened consciousness of the aquatic being, all the dives are stitched together into one continuous experience of an aquatic life.
If you are a freediver, it is true of you , too. Next time you dive, you'll know at once that I am right"
