**Fully COVID nad Monkeypox vaccinated**

I'm socially versatile so I tend to be low key/quiet at home during the week but I also love going out, dancing, and having guests over on the weekends. I'm a jokester, down-to-earth, open, kind, thoughtful, easy-going, and I take people at their word. At the same time I'm also observant, responsible, neat/tidy, serious when necessary, attentive, and dutiful. Most people find it's difficult to categorize me, yet it's also easy to get to know me and get along with me. But I'm also an enigma to myself.

PHILOSOPHY
You only live and die once: Love. Take chances. Let people ask something of you. Deny yourself without neglect. Be joyful in everything. Seek adventure. Laugh at everything: especially yourself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music has a way of getting down into my soul. I love stuff that has a good, driving beat, great melody, and if that beat includes bone-shaking bass, all the better!

I've never been one to read for fun. I do read, of course, I only tend to read for knowledge more than for diversions.

Movies are cool. Among other things, I like independent films. You know the type, quiet, reflective, like a cool summer breeze across a secluded lake, far from the sounds of the modern world... But I also like many other genres too. Horror comes to mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking down a deserted street in the Trimulgherry Military Cantonment in Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India with my younger brother, Patrick.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know lots of things about many different subjects. I have much to say about what it means to be human. I'm very inquisitive, so if you're passionate about something, I'd like to hear about it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a great conversationalist provided the topic isn't ideological. [Ideology is not a strongly heald belief, btw, it's embracing something that's true or partially true to the exclusion of other truths.] I love learning from others, as well as sharing what I know. If you like stories, I like telling them - jury's out whether I'm a good storyteller though! I'm a pretty good cook, and learned to make curry while in India, so I'm happy to share that! I'm even open to offering a gift.
