Who Am I?

All around great guy who stands by the DIY ethos, and the belief that anything can be done. Limitations are not in my vocabulary, except that I just used the word, so forget that. It must be in my vocabulary, I just don't believe in them. Other words I would use to describe myself; Confident, Cavalier, Trusting, Anti-Condiment, Storyteller, Friend.
