CURRENT MISSION

I suppose the short list is to meet every person on earth worth meeting at least once; eat, drink & be merry; attempt to figure out this little thing called life, all while experiencing an almost painful amount of laughter.

ABOUT ME

You there, sitting on the other side of that screen! I have but one box to cram the essence of my... well, my~self into, before your attention span is lost or you deem me insane, so pay attention!

I hail from the grand city of San Carlos, a mere 20 minutes south of San Francisco (grand in this context meaning small and suburban), and know the bay area quite well. T'is a melting pot of people, sights, senses, love, and chaos. My second home resides in Santa Cruz, partly because it is fun as hell, mainly because of school. Meeting new people is a simple pleasure that I doubt I will soon tire of for the sheer fact that nobody is the same, everyone is interesting and brings something unique to the table. I've found that I get along with most anybody, and if given a few drinks, I WILL get along with everybody.

After this first year in college, I have decided that I have not traveled nearly enough and am damn well ready to explore the world. A few things that are always on my mind are: FOOD! if I could substitute air for food, you best believe that I'd be snorting a shake while eating my burger. I'm an intermediate to advanced foodie, and between Good Eats and Iron Chef, have concocted some ridiculous nom-nom. PHOTOGRAPHY! been taking pictures since age 7, went pro w/ my parents at age 11 and am quite fond of capturing new and exciting scenery. FEMALES! yup. Still in search of a chica so gorgeous, I will actually drop dead.

PHILOSOPHY

The way I see it, everyone is constantly intersecting one another's lives; walk into a room, pass a crowd, or jog down the street and immediately you have crossed paths with everyone your eyes can see.
What if you stopped a random? had a drink with them? conversed? slept on their couch for a few days? Would you both come out of it worse people?
