About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Aside from any religious or spiritual beliefs, I think that it would befit all of us to assume that this is our one and only chance to see and experience this world.

ABOUT ME

I try not to hold myself too strongly to any opinion, idea or thing. I don't want anything that I can't take with me. Rather, I prefer to be in the pursuit of knowledge for it's own sake. Therefore, my two favorite past times are conversation and whatever I've not yet done.

PHILOSOPHY

I look at my life like a play. I don't prefer comedy or tragedy, simply an interesting plot.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read the backs of cereal boxes, except that they almost always end the same. Pretty eclectic music tastes. Movies are one of my passions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the north of Italy there is a place called Lago di Garda, which is a lake between two mountains. We hiked up the mountain carrying sleeping bags, expecting to sleep in an open air cathedral we saw from the bottom. When we got to the top, we found a refuge (apparently for people climbing in the mountains), which was a little cabin, free to stay in. We also found a house next to it, which was occupied by the society for people who love climbing mountains. These people gave us candles for the refuge and home made Prosecco to drink. So we slept on the top of a mountain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to do absolutely nothing. I hired someone to help me dress in the morning. When I arrive at your house I will be carried by two man-servants, one who attends to me in the morning hours and one whose duty is the evening. Perhaps I can help you learn how to write sarcastic descriptions?
