CURRENT MISSION

To fight repressed dancing ambition.

ABOUT ME

I'm spending the next while (3 months? 6 months? a year?) traveling, trying to unlearn the stuff I don't need and trying to find things that, when I look back in hindsight, I won't believe I ever got along without.

I'm into this stuff!: adventures and exploring places (especially abandoned buildings), making life-altering decisions on a whim, life-altering anything actually - people or places or moments, street art, bad dancers, retro music, feminism, queer theory...

PHILOSOPHY

I dig the following ideas right now, but personal philosophy is hopefully always a work in progress...

"Falling in love is the ultimate act of revolution, of resistance to today's tedious, socially restrictive, culturally constrictive, humanly meaningless world."

"Beauty is the world betrayed."

"The opposite of truth is forgetting."

Musica, film e libri

Movies: I'm pretty terrible at sitting through entire movies.

Music: Stars, Tegan and Sara, Death Cab, Bright Eyes, Feist, Ani Difranco, Simon and Garfunkle, Billy Joel, Lights, Robyn, The Be Good Tanyas, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, The Weakerthans, Eva Cassidy...

But, for dancing purposes: 80's pop, bad late 90's music, and hip hop.

Books: We the Living, Siddhartha, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Expect Resistance, The Bell Jar...

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach you how to re-do an entire hardwood floor in three days flat after you accidentally destroy it with spot remover that soaked through a rug. Whoops.

I can also teach you to do a mediocre moonwalk.

I'd like to learn how to develop film, and new languages.
