About Me

ABOUT ME

As far as my language skills go... when I say beginner italian I really mean it, I can count to ten and say hello... a few other various words I can catch once in a while... that's about it. it's been quite some time now since I said I was going to update this, so I thought now might be a good time... I'm in what seems like a constant process of re-evaluating but for the time being the reasons you should get to know me... I won't profess to know exactly: I'm open-minded, thoughtful, have an interest in politics, a propensity for truthfulness which at times astounds/confounds people, I am well read though not to the degree that I would like. I hold a sense of wonder about the things that happen in the world and love to try new things. On a side note, if I say I'm going to do something I tend to follow through, so if that concerns you...

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life. Take a chance, you never know what might come of it.
