CURRENT MISSION An understandable ontology ABOUT ME A being whose being, proximally and for the most part, is a problem for it. Old-fashioned may be an appropriate adjective for many aspects of myself. I am currently a student preparing for graduate work in Clinical Psychology at a North American Institution (UWG), and am often found lost in a text within the field. I also wait tables at a fine dining restaurant and wine-bar. PHILOSOPHY The world is a mass of rock spinning wildly out of control but it's ok; what you do still matters to other people (humanism has its case).

My Interests
My academic interests include the existentialist movement and its impact on Psychotherapy; Philosophy of mind; and cognitive psychology. I enjoy rustic red wines that smell like wet gravel, clay, barnyards, manure, wild game, and black currants--including (but certainly not limited to) Medoc, Chateaunuef Du Papes, and vintage Burgundy. On occasion I also fancy single vineyard shiraz and grenache from Clare and surrounding areas. I love (English) football and have played and/or coached for 16 years.
