ABOUT ME

I've just come back from a year in Japan, and am in the middle of a journey on the west coast. Currently looking for friends in Portland, OR and Vancouver, BC.

In a hurry, so can't say much at the moment. I can only say that I would love to meet some half-crazy people who enjoy interesting chats on all sorts of topics. I am a man of a million hobbies. I hope that you can help me bring the count up to one-million-and-one.

PHILOSOPHY

Oh no!.. This is too difficult a topic to discuss with any level of conviction. To be quite honest, I'm just not sure yet what my personal philosophy is. I have philosophies, some I dig more than others. And the thoughts are in constant flux, as thoughts tend to be.
