CURRENT MISSION

To have stories to tell when I'm old.

ABOUT ME

The ideal life for me consists of stretches of solitary, totally engrossing research, work, and reading, punctuated by wildly social parties and traveling. I love new experiences, new friends, new girls, new places, and writing or telling about them later on. I'm very laid back and I trust in the basic goodness of people.

PHILOSOPHY

You have to actively create and shape your own memories.

The secret to happiness is to dedicate your life to something bigger than yourself.
