CURRENT MISSION

Find out if the grass is greener on my side of the hill by exploring the other side.

ABOUT ME

(since self-reporting is almost as worthless as pulpless orange juice): I've been called "fun," I've been called "energetic" and "unique" and I've been called "a handful" by many saintly teachers. I've been called "average" a few times by some very average people, and I've been called "one of the coolest persons ever" by the kinds of people that make grandiose and un-quantifiable statements. I've been called "a christian," "a Jesus freak," and I've been called "damned to suffer" by my own kind. I've been called upon when people have been in need, and I've been called "helpful" a few times. I've been called many expletives by many people whose opinions don't mean a whole lot to me, though sometimes they do, and sometimes I've been called "a quick learner" by these individuals. I've never been called "cruel," or "small-minded" or "dangerous" in contexts other than sports, and even then, I've never been called "small-minded". I've been called "the most humble person in the world" and was shortly thereafter called "a bad detector of sarcasm". I've been called to freely give and receive love, and most of the time I've been called "dutiful most of the time".

PHILOSOPHY

I'll opt out of answering by annoyingly explaining that it is the kind of philosophy that is undermined by confining it to a certain number of characters in a box--and in so doing, by emphasizing its dynamic qualities, you may comprehend it in part.

Interests

Playing and sharing and listening and dancing to music. Same goes for soccer, except the dancing is a bit different. Swimming, reading, biking, boarding, reading, traveling, observing couples on their first date at places like Olive Garden and Denny's, reading, running, and all the other standard stuff that is interesting.

Music, Movies, and Books

Only three for each, for the sake of brevity:
Books:
The Count of Monte Cristo, An American Childhood, The BFG
Movies:
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Cool Hand Luke, Cloud Atlas
(few criteria for) Music:
Not into hardcore punk, not into heavy metal/scream-o, not into weak/sappy country (which means I'm not into much country at all)

Teach, Learn, Share

Perhaps the most practical thing I can teach is how to complete the Rubik's cube.
