Music, Movies, and Books

i find comfort in films and music and books and rare people. those who introduce me to new bands/artists leave pieces of themselves with me forever. i can listen to almost anything and appreciate it, but when i'm on my own the jams tend to hover in the alternative/folk/classic rock genres. but seriously, if it's got a beat i can groove to it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

humanitarian aid work in eastern africa, working with the maasai and in orphanages; witnessed a traditional sak yant bamboo tattooing ceremony in ang thong, thailand with a monk i was studying under
