CURRENT MISSION

To love every moment of discovery, growth, horror, sensuality, and connection. To embrace all that this bald earth has to give. To leave this place better than I found it.

ABOUT ME

It's hard enough to do it without defining it, but to do it and define it at the same time, oh mercy.

A friend of mine, moving to NYC, told me that I completed every statement as though about to burst into laughter. But of course, everything about this world is mind-blowingly hilarious.

I love music more than words can say, as Extreme actually did say, or something like that. I like walking barefoot, but I'm rarely on a chemical high. I believe in the Puritan work ethic but also see how it's been used to rob the people of their youth and energy. So I guess I'm the "other kind" of hippie.

PHILOSOPHY

There isn't enough time in life to lie to yourself, and absolutely no time left after it.

Change is bought one thought at a time, one person at a time.
