My Family, Friends, every good teacher that ever challenged me.
About me: I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.
Who I'd like to meet: This section should be changed to 'Who I'd Like to Party With'.
There are numerous visionaries, artists and funny people who I'd like to meet. But mostly I'd like to meet new people--all you legends in the making out there.
