CURRENT MISSION

Cold water.

ABOUT ME

I recently returned to the mainland after seven years in Guam (prob would not be as interesting a movie as Pitt's Seven Years in Tibet) and six months chasing waves in Indonesia. I am a retired professional, although looks like I have to come out of retirement soon to pay my student loans.

PHILOSOPHY

I am an optimist because I dont see the point of being anything else. Oh, and 75% of what Oscar Wilde has to say.

Interests

I love to eat street food, read books (most dont have pictures), stay in $5 hotel rooms, chase waves, play soccer, think about how to support myself without working, yoga but only for shivasna (spelling?) at the end, and have fun speaking foreign languages terribly.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hemingway, Steinbeck, Phoenix, Passion Pit, John Lee Hooker, Maya Angelou, Zoolander, the Three Musketeers, F. Scott Fitzgerald (when not being to aristocratic), Nirvana, Notorious BIG, Bob Marley and Dylan, Invisible Man (the book, not the movie) and Oscar Wilde.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Somehow, I took 17 domestic flights in Indonesia in six months (it helps that they can cost $25 or less).
