ABOUT ME

I am a pretty laid back person! I am content doing almost anything as long as it is with good company!! When I am not working or in class I like to grab a few drinks with friends, kick ass in a game of pool or two, and bike around the lakes. My list of interests is extensive. I am excited to meet some new surfer friends!!

PHILOSOPHY

"Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer. This has been my life; I found it worth living." ~ Bertrand Russell (adapted)
