CURRENT MISSION

To cook

ABOUT ME

A student of the culinary arts, philosophy and the German language. Interested in traveling and continuing my education.

PHILOSOPHY

1) "There's nothing terrible inside us or on earth or possibly in heaven itself except what hasn't been said yet. We won't be easy in our minds until everything has been said once and for all, then we'll fall silent and we'll no longer be afraid of keeping still. That will be the day." - Céline

2) The Tetrapharmakos by Epicurus

3) "It's a Catch 23 situation." -Ricky

4) "True, we love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving. There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness. And to me too, as I am well disposed toward life, butterflies and soap bubbles and whatever among men is of their kind seem to know most about happiness."- F.N.
