ABOUT ME

F**k it, nobody ever sounds a) unique or b) nakedly personal next to the words "all about you" so I'm just going to promise you I am not boring or horrible and stop trying.

PHILOSOPHY

I am way short of being consistent enough to actually have a Philosophy. But. Everything you feel is just a skull full of chemicals swirling around in tubes.

Also, experience things. Feel things. Think about these things. Squeeze from all the things something new and useful and insightful.* Try to find words that explain this thing. Repeat.

*I have only ever got halfway through this step.
