- Education
I'm just a guy who chased a dream and found himself trapped in a nightmare of his own making.

Life Is Good
Not too much to complain about or to fix this week! Life has been pretty smooth sailing. Lots of good things and positivity flowing.

The past six weeks have been quite a ride. I was riding high from helping a friend and finding what might be my purpose.
