ABOUT ME

i love fine wines and cheap whiskey, anything and anyone that challenges my preconceived notions, dancing in the rain, critical theory, hiking and swimming (even though i only doggie-paddle), grand theatres, gardening, country music, museums & art galleries, the new york times crossword, christmas lights, semiotics, tall yellow grasses

PHILOSOPHY

"to love is to suffer. to avoid suffering, one must not love. but then, one suffers from not loving. therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. to be happy is to love. to be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness." - woody allen
