ABOUT ME

I am dependable, but occasionally absent-minded.
I am book-smart, but occasionally lacking common sense.
I am reserved, but love to listen.
I am tall, but try to stay down-to-earth.

PHILOSOPHY

"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." - Mahatma Gandhi

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." - Douglas Adams

"We enlist every instrument: Acoustic, electronic
Every so-called race, gender, and sexual preference
Every per-son as beings of sound to acknowledge their responsibility to
Uplift the consciousness of the entire fucking World
Any utterance will be un-aimed, will be disclaimed - two rappers slain
Any utterance will be un-aimed, will be disclaimed - two rappers slain" - Saul Williams 'Code(a)d Language'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eating dinner on the roof of a building in Stone Town, Zanzibar.

Rowing on the Nile surrounded by giant 3-story river cruise ships that were all blaring their horns at each other.

Hiking up to an alpine lake in the Tetons, Wyoming.
