CURRENT MISSION

around the world in however long it takes...

ABOUT ME

I grew up moving all the time, and I have no desire to change that.

i like: making playlists and giving them witty titles; sleeping in; discussing life; watching movies where things blow up for no apparent reason; eating dinner with my family; going for coffee and waffle house with friends; hugging people; checking postsecret religiously on sundays; reading and writing; failing at crossword puzzles and getting upset when people try to help; naming inanimate objects like mountains and ipods; buying books at the thrift store; the color blue; stars; the semi-colon, and finally, sharks.

i don't like: capitalizing words; charter communications; vegetables; organizing things; cold weather; the burger king; deadlines; obnoxious ringtones; dolphins; being clumsy; excessive exclamation points; calling customer service, and finally, aliens.

PHILOSOPHY

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."
-Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse."
-T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known."
-Carl Sagan
