About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to feel young and know that I'm free

ABOUT ME

I'm generally pretty quiet. I'm very good with directions. I am a good cook.

PHILOSOPHY

-Isms in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like quiet music with guitars in the winter and terrible pop songs with bumpin' bass in the summer. beat that beat up

My favorite movie is Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and I could watch any Coen Brothers, Quentin Tarantino, or Wes Anderson film at nearly any given time. Also terrible horror films from the 70s.

The Shadow of the Wind took my breath away, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close broke my heart, and The Great Gatsby taught me to dream and to keep my dreams in check.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
