CURRENT MISSION

The best parts of ourselves are the ones too good to give away, until we do.

ABOUT ME

I love honesty and openness and will fall in love with anyone who isn't afraid to be either. It's the rare moments when you're lying on a bridge contemplating your own existence in a non-existential crisis that leaves the world utterly breathtaking. So I contemplate and do what my soul rhythmically prompts my body to do, like art or travel, cooking or loving. Spontaneity is the key to life, and I embrace it.

I don't know how to read music, but my soul skips a beat when I hear something beautiful.

I learned English through American infomercials.

I just bought a piano and guitar and am in the process of being a world-renowned musician...But that's probably not going to work out because my impediment is not being able to read music, but who needs to right?! Just feeeeel it.

I also like anything grilled. I'm also short so save your jokes... just kiddddding... grill away.

PHILOSOPHY

I love philosophical/intellectual conversations. I have been told that I possess the great ability to push people to think outside their own beliefs. Not tooting my own metaphorical horn here but I most probably would toot a real horn if I had one.

音乐、电影和书籍

GRATEFUL DEAD, bluegrass, folk, anything string-related (mandolins to guitars to orchestras), FUNK!, Jazz (of the classy stomp your feet and wiggle your body variety), Coltrane ohhhh OH!

Honestly, if you throw something at me, I'd probably like it, though I hate chit-chat (even though I'm quite pleased to inform you all that I am indeed spectacular at it).

People are often shocked to hear that I don't read now, but I did once, and I liked Dostoevsky.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Sunsets over water
Sleeping outdoors: beaches, rocks, lakes
All-nighters with new best friends
Swimming in opal blue waterfalls
Connecting in this rarely acknowledged interconnected world of ours
