About Me
Just an ordinary man living an ordinary life who thinks he has extraordinary ideas that need to be put on paper. Like Sisyphus, I struggle to find the success I feel destine to accomplish. Would be nice to one day go to a party or similar gathering and meet unexpectedly, by sheer chance, someone who has read what you have written and has found value in it and understood what you were trying to say.
