About Me

CURRENT MISSION

studies, then travel

ABOUT ME

I try to be a good person
I'm in the midst of studying for a BA in philosophy and east-asian studies, in the course of which I also study japanese.
I work as a programmer in a software company
I'm open minded, experimental
funny and wacky at times, introverted and quiet at others
I believe it's easy for most types of people to feel comfortable around me pretty quickly

PHILOSOPHY

I've viewed reality from so many perspectives in recent years, so it's still difficult for me to put anything here that wont contradict something else I feel.
=postmodern?
