ABOUT ME

I would describe myself as laid back, curious, and adventure-seeking. I am beginning graduate studies at Northwestern University in Chicago in the fall of 2007. I really enjoy good conversations with intelligent and interesting people. Music occupies an enormous part of my life, as I have been playing the guitar now for almost 10 years. I especially love jazz and progressive rock, but I enjoy anything that is unique and possesses musical integrity. I tend to read a lot. And drink. A lot.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn as much as I can, and have as much fun as possible while doing it.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Music: far too much to list, but my all-time favorites are probably Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, with an honorable mention going to the Allman Brothers.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I would love to discuss politics and/or political philosophy with anyone who's interested. Affecting real social and political change always begins through the sharing of powerful ideas between diverse groups of people.
