ABOUT ME

I don't get in the way but I make myself heard. moms think I'm polite and I value justice above all else!! quiet and solitude in nature is just as necessary in my life as wall-shaking bass surrounded by people drinking too much. I use more of my time thinking and observing than running my mouth, but I can't survive without meaningful conversations about our world and the ideas which make it. I love being surrounded by beautiful nature and architecture, and I can't stand hanging out with people stuck in their iPhones (we're all guilty of this sometimes). I enjoy avant-garde art music and fashion, things which challenge me intellectually and emotionally, and basically anything which embodies progressive thought. I believe that stewardship of our natural world is key for any collective future, and that if you do not respect our planet in this way you cannot ultimately respect yourself or your fellow humans. I look for excitement and new experiences in life, and I hate sitting around waiting for things to happen.

PHILOSOPHY

I live in the penthouse of a building no one else can see

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." - Albert Camus

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Depending on the day or hour, I could be listening to Charles Mingus, Migos or Chief Keef, or some aggressively anarchistic future-club like Total Freedom or nguzunguzu. Music is vital to my health, but sometimes I like the hum of silence. Here are a few tracks which embody my tastes:
