ABOUT ME

I am generally
Curious.
&
Energetic.
[i would like to be a polymath. I am definitely a xenophile.]

I'm originally from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I was raised by parents that really valued outdoor adventures and interacting with all types of people. They were good examples. Then, I left the mountains, went to the cities. (Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Boston, Copenhagen) until I settled again for a bit in the foothills of Boulder.

I've dabbled in Philosophy/Film, Music, Architecture, and then TECHNOLOGY (never would have thought I'd end up there) and I've loved it all!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that for the most part:
We all want Love; We all have Fear.

and our actions are based on this.
Beyond that, I think these quotes are pretty excellent:

------

"[They are] people who are already living in the future with a global idea of the present,
people with a musical & aesthetic richness,
who are critical and supportive,
whose daily lives & habits
are part of their attitude towards life."

--Agustin Perez Rubio speaking about Sejima & Nishizawa

.....

"Architecture will no longer be an instrument enforcing an institutional, mass-social ideology, but become a vehicle for the expansion of human possibilities, both inwardly & outwardly.
People are infinitely various, though they share common humain traits, & need not be coerced or seduced into being stereotypes."

.....

"We Have Decided Not to Die."

--Arakawa & Gins

.....

"Here is where the hot Santa Ana wind blows and the old ways do not seem relevant."

--Joan Didion SLOUCHING TOWARDS BETHLEHEM

.....

"A Woman is Whatever Room She is In."

--old Japanese saying (adapted)

.....

"On the plains, in the mountains, you learn that you are as important as the beaver, the hawk, the dragonfly--but not more so. You are part of the circle."

--rancher Gaydell Collier, 1997
