ABOUT ME

I hate filling these things out:-( But I promise I'm not creepy and have been known to be pretty fun.

PHILOSOPHY

"It is therefore, a great source of virtue for the practiced mind to learn, bit by bit, first to change about in visible and transitory things, so that afterwards it may be able to leave them behind altogether. The man who finds his homeland sweet is still a tender beginner; he to whom every soil is as his native one is already strong; but he is perfect to whom the entire world is as a foreign land [Latin: perfectus vero cui mundus totus exilium est]."—Hugo of St. Victor; Didascalion

Music, Movies, and Books

"And this I believe, that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for, the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against, any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about. I can understand why a system built on a pattern must try to destroy the free mind for that is one thing which can by inspection destroy such a system. Surely I can understand this, and I hate it and I will fight against it to preserve the one thing that separates us from the uncreative beasts. If the glory can be killed, we are lost." John Steinbeck, East of Eden

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

danced on top of a mud hut in an animist village of the Dogone country of Mali to the drums echoing through the hills, ringing in the year 2009!
