ABOUT ME

i would do everything if i could just get out of bed

PHILOSOPHY

The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.

not my quote... but i dig it.

I've recently been reading a LOT about globalization. I love books by Thomas L. Friedman, Naomi Klein, and Joseph Stiglitz but when it comes to novels I'm a big fan of Chuck Palahniuk, J.D. Salinger, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Haruki Murakami.
