My Story:

Went through the public education system and didn't revolt until some point in high school. Still maintaining the pressured thought that I had to go to college I attended one semester at UNH Manchester. After which I pursued management work, later some technical work and now I am happy at the social forum. Bar tending and sharing my ideas on a personal level.

My Ideal School is a Place Where:

I can hear myself think and focus on my own thoughts. Technical advice is unneeded until I have reached a sort of critical mass in thought. I find that being force fed ideas of the established courses has only lead me to confused states and in as such keeps me from original thoughts.

My Religious Views:

Spiritualism is good, organized religion as a corperation is bad

My Political Views:

If there is a beast in this world it is our fathers creation of government

My Favorite Freedom:

to have and voice an opinion that differs from the status quo

My Personal Motto:

Think in terms of 'I am' while ignoring those that say 'you should be'.

My Favorite Journey:

The one that everyone goes on each night... dreaming
