About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy in every way possible!

ABOUT ME

I am:

6'1", or 186cm. Kinda tall!
Long hair, typically in a bun or ponytail.
Frequently the class clown.
Vegetarian, or otherwise meatless.
Silly, and platonically romantic.
Techie, gamer, and guitarist.

I suppose that I am a relaxed person! My recent travel experience has been all the rage with some of my friends, yet I see people so much farther down this beautiful, beaten road than I can ever hope to be.

I can't really tell you of my life goals, because I don't know them myself. Just a few foggy desires that I hope to keep me busy!

PHILOSOPHY

To fill this in, I'll quote a song that I wrote that reflects a big part of my personal philosophy:

"And I'm sorry / If what I'm doing is wrong / My only excuse / Is that I'm still in progress"

What I mean by this, is that although I try all the time to please everybody in my influence through all of my actions, I still reserve the right/disclaimer that I'm not a 'complete', perfect person yet, if ever. Therefore, I still very well may need to make compromises or disappoint.

It doesn't seem to mean much, but when I wrote the song and fleshed out the concept, it seemed like a very important truth about my personality.

Interests

Learning. Science. Gaming. Music. Holism. When I see someone being passionate about something, I acknowledge its worth, and hope to become a disciple.. or at least let the enthusiasm rub off on me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Musicwise, I like Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Kaki King, + everything else! Moviewise, lately I've been interested in films from the Coen brothers, Quentin Tarantino, and Alfred Hitchcock. Bookwise, I have really enjoyed Bret Easton Ellis books like American Psycho and Less Than Zero, as well as various fiction books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh no.. this is too difficult. I tend to downplay significant moments.

I've had countless learning experiences from overcoming travel hiccups, each leaving me feeling more experienced and capable than ever.

I got to see Radiohead perform at Bonnaroo from the front row. The whole experience was, and still is, very special to me.
