CURRENT MISSION

Let summer seep into all the crannies of life.

ABOUT ME

I know that I love socializing, and playing sport, and laughing on the street when I'm in a crowd of strangers, and I love to people watch, and I am starting to like coffee, and the friends that I have made so far are the most amazing people on earth--I want to continue that streak.

I just moved to Chicago and recently secured employment.

PHILOSOPHY

I love almost all things.
I hope to make your day better.

This is one of my favorite quotes on life:

Living is a form of not being sure,
not knowing what next or how.
The moment you know how, you begin to die a little.
- Agnes De Mille

Music, Movies, and Books

Shawshank Redemption - fav. movie
Survivor by Chuck Palanhiuk - a good book
I thrive listening to music from all genres. Some of my favorites: The Format, Lauryn Hill, Mars Volta, Modest Mouse, Snow Patrol, Tupac Shakur, Bone Thugs N Harmony, David Crowder Band, Fugees, Black Eyed Peas, Jimmy Eat World, Houston Calls... among many.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have learned that everything will always be okay. Things always work out.

I want to learn how to not judge; college didn't offer any tutorials on that.

If you visit me and you don't know how to cook, I will show you how to make some food. If you visit me and you do know how to cook, I would love to learn a recipe.
