CURRENT MISSION

To always travel 'standing up.'

ABOUT ME

“Question: how can one mange not to lose time? Answer: experience it at its full length. Means: spend days in the dentist waiting-room on an uncomfortable chair; live on one’s balcony on a Sunday afternoon; listen to lectures in a language that one does not understand, choose the most roundabout and least convenient routes in the railway (and, naturally, travel standing up)..." - Albert Camus

Because I dont like writing about myself, I thought it might be more convenient to pull a quote from Camus.

PHILOSOPHY

"Since the wise men have not spoken, I speak that am only a fool;
A fool that hath loved his folly,
Yea, more than the wise men their books or their counting houses or their quiet homes,
Or their fame in men's mouths;
A fool that in all his days hath done never a prudent thing,
Never hath counted the cost, nor recked if another reaped
The fruit of his mighty sowing, content to scatter the seed;
A fool that is unrepentant, and that soon at the end of all
Shall laugh in his lonely heart as the ripe ears fall to the reaping-hooks
And the poor are filled that were empty,
Tho' he go hungry.
I have squandered the splendid years that the Lord God gave to my youth
In attempting impossible things, deeming them alone worth the toil.
...And the wise have pitied the fool that hath striven to give a life
In the world of time and space among the bulks of actual things,
To a dream that was dreamed in the heart, and that only the heart could hold.
...
O wise men, riddle me this: What if the dream came true?" Padraic Pearse

兴趣

I mostly do conflict research / geopolitics - but outside of that I like going to the IFI (Irish Film Institute) here in Dublin to watch some good films, go to good cafes, and take the occasional photo.
