About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Leaping out and hoping the net appears.

ABOUT ME

Have lived in Brooklyn (ten years), Utah (five months), Austin (one year) and traveled through Asia for five months and South America right now. Right-handed. Favorite color is blue.

PHILOSOPHY

"To me, the offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, is an offer of something not worth having. I want to live my life taking the risk all the time that I don’t know anything like enough yet. That I haven’t understood enough, that I haven't read enough, that I can't know enough. That I’m always hungrily operating on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom."

Christopher Hitchens

Most recent: On a long flight, watched a long movie, "The Dark Knight Rises." Incoherent at times but it works. Just read Jennifer Egan's incredible novel "A Visit from the Goon Squad." Have been listening to Fleet Foxes, their first album, cozy on the ears.
