ABOUT ME

I am an English tutor in Istanbul, Turkey. I have no distinguishing characteristics or features.

PHILOSOPHY

I hope medical advances will lead to immortality by 2050 but until that happens I will strive to condense an eternity of experiences into my projected standard American male lifespan. I have a dark suspicion that immortality will be delayed until 2070 and I will die on the waiting list for the operation. I will be the last human being to die of natural causes. They will erect a memorial to me but it will be of little comfort.
