About Me : Andy Moore

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I once gave a fuck

It is the greatest mistake to think that man is always one and the same. A man is never the same for long. He is continually changing. He seldom remains the same even for half an hour.

G. I. Gurdjieff

Before you ask: the answer is NO
I'm not interested in anything you have to offer me
I'd rather kill myself than work for you
