I'm into permaculture and sustainable living. I have a permaculture design certificate, as well as a Bachelor's of science in Sociology/Philosophy. I consider myself a philosopher/intellectual/appreciator-of-the-arts above all.

I quit my job at a major university in the summer of 2014, and moved to Tennessee to live life the way I wanted instead of remaining in the staus-quo box that society was forcing me into...

Brewing is kind of a major passion of mine, along with permaculture!

I've spent 32 years in introspection trying to find myself; though it was a long, taxing, journey... it's been worth all the pain and heartache. I'm stronger and more confident in myself, and am eternally grateful for my out of the box lifestyle, these days!!!

Currently reading:
This Earth of Mankind
The Disappearance of the Universe

Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Into the Wild
Slaughter House-Five (This book made me want to read everything Kurt Vonnegut ever wrote)

Music:
Almost everything, but Blue October is, by far, my favorite obsession of all time... they convey emotions through their music like no other artists I have ever heard!

TV:
Don't watch much, but I enjoy shows that appeal to my intellect
some of my favorite shows are:
Gilmore Girls
Friends
Firefly
Dr Who
The IT Crowd
Game of Thrones
Sons of Anarchy
Parenthood
Trailer Park Boys
It's always Sunny in Philadelphia
Star Trek: The Next Generation (just can't really get past Kirk, so I gravitate to Picard)
House of Cards
Orange is the New Black

Movies:
One of my favorite movies of all time is Amelie (I re-watch this often)
I'm a huge nerd, so I, nearly, worship StarWars, and StarTrek
My favorite genre of movies is comedy, because... well... everyone likes to laugh! falling under that, my guilty pleasure is "chick flicks" or romantic comedies.

Currently writing:
My book of philosophical musings and my first book of poetry
