About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to find truth, goodness and beauty
ABOUT ME
I love to go on long hikes through wilderness and ride my bike. I've always been athletic. I love warm weather and beaches and would rather avoid snow or contact with cold weather but I do enjoy the clean after a good rain. I'm a first-generation of croatian descent living in America. One of my goals in life is to go back to the village where my parents are from and build a house for myself there.
PHILOSOPHY
Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
-Henry Miller.

Music, Movies, and Books
Some of my favorite authors are Henry Miller, Louis Ferdinand Celine, Franz Kafka and Sherwood Anderson, Jack Kerouac, John Fante, Knut Hamson, Anais Nin, Oscar Wilde, Jean Paul Sartre, Virginia Woolf.
I love films by Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog, David Lynch, Francois Truffaut, Akira Kurosawa. Documentaries and Noir are my favorite genre.
I play drums so anything with good rhythm will catch my ear. I can pretty much listen to any kind of music and enjoy it.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've always wanted to meet and hold a koala.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've taught people how to play the guitar and drums and have helped art students in the classroom. I can tutor in Mathematics and English.
I can teach running aerobics and basic cardiovascular conditioning.
I can cook a few meals, I'm not sure how well they come out though. So I'd like to learn how to cook more ^.^
