CURRENT MISSION

meeting people, enjoying life, seeing the world

ABOUT ME

I am a thousand scattered things, but mostly I strive to do difficult things, see the world, understand the unknowable, and then at the end of the day try to relax and forget all I've learned for a moment.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to come up with a new one. Feeling my hands, feet, and back of my eyes. Being awake and alive. Listening more. Talking less.

音乐、电影和书籍

I've had to read so many sad books, my dissertation is about the Angolan civil war, so right now I'm trying to read non-sad things. True things, honest to the core things, a-la "Another day of life"

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Illegal entry into DRC (Congo), hitchhiked a plane over the Kalahari desert, rescued a friend OUT of a Namibian hospital...Survived a bikram yoga class yesterday. Always a shock to live through it...

教，学，和分享

I know about the history of the Angolan war 1961-2002 quite well. I know statistics. I know how to waitress. I can teach you stretches that can make your body feel better.
