CURRENT MISSION

to establish an indelible military presence, multi-national corporations, plunder resources, spread the Word of the lord!

ABOUT ME

I can be something of a solitudinous person. I often prefer to have several hours of the day to myself to read, think, and write. I am not, however, given to being a permanent recluse. I love to set out into the city and meet people on a whim and get into conversations that last a few hours. I like "people-watching" and "adventure-having".

I play a couple of instruments: bongos and djembe somewhat leisurely and the shakuhachi a little more seriously (though school and laziness limit true dedication).

PHILOSOPHY

To always be learning and living intensely, to share each other's thoughts honestly and to express oneself creatively.

Teach, Learn, Share

'Explication is not necessary to remedy an incapacity to understand. On the contrary, that very incapacity provides the structuring fiction of the explicative conception of the world. It is the explicator who needs the incapable and not the other way around; it is he who constitutes the incapable as such.' - Jacques Ranciere "The Ignorant Schoolmaster"
