I'm a curious guy with a big grin on his face (pretty much) at all times. I value human culture and presence more than anything in my life. I love talking about a broad range of topics, regardless of my interest areas. Getting to know each other, about experiences, culture, likes, lifestyle, and philosophy is what got me here. I live my life by this quote: "I am human, and nothing human is alien to me."

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm another indie/folk guy. I'll listen to anything post-rock. Alternative in various tastes is also good. I do listen to -any- thing that's good to my ear. Lately, though, I'm obsessed with Tame Impala, Rue Royale, Mac Demarco and AltJ. (could list a few more!) And my alltime fav band is Kings of Leon.

Documentaries consume so much of my time. . I watch movies but not as often. There are a few that I really like, but let's keep that for another convo, shall we?

I love reading newspapers and magazines, and whatever I find on the web. The New Yorker, NYT, WSJ, Guardian and few others are my fav sources to find out what's going on around the globe and a few literary works. I'll read most things on Medium, 9to5Mac, ArsTechnica, TheVerge, The Wired, Gizmodo, Vox, and many more.
I rarely read fiction. I love Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Paul Auster, and Carl Sagan(he'smyhero). I also love the beat generation, eps Jack Kerouac. The perks of being a wallflower is one of my favs, if somethings gotta be named.
