Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, some of everything. Polka being an exception, can't really get into it.
I love really dumb movies - guilty pleasure/weakness. I also love not dumb movies.
Books... Tsundoku (look it up)
That said, I do read, just takes me a REALLY long time. I like biographies a lot (Mountains Beyond Mountains and A Long Way Gone are great) and I try to read texbooks and self help but they tend to stack 5-10 high on the ol nightstand for a long time before completion

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping into a cenote in Mexico from 15 or 20 feet up. I've jumped from much higher into water, but not this clear and breathtakingly gorgeous

I've seen 3 2-second long shooting stars, doesn't sound long but in shooting-star time it's awesome. I think my heart stops. I won't downplay regular shooting stars cause they're great, but daaaammmn

Teach, Learn, Share

Love who you are + take a few moments to notice someone else's shoes then take a few steps in them before jumping to conclusions about their character.
I am a pretty solid listener.
I love helping people organize their spaces so they work for them (customize it to fit your life and style)
I must learn Spanish.
I want to learn how to play the banjo.
I can make a mean cheesecake.
