CURRENT MISSION

I want to take on the world! and I also want to have a nap every afternoon - Amanda

ABOUT ME

90 per cent of the time I'd rather be on the beach! I love going to school. (I have one degree already, working on my second), and I work as a designer at my own company.

PHILOSOPHY

I wish I had one. I guess no philosophy is still a philosophy ...

Music, Movies, and Books

Ernest Hemingway is my all time favourite author. I read some form of newspaper every morning - I pretty much feel lost if I don't know what's going on in the world everyday. Movies? Well I love documentaries ... the last one I saw was Food, Inc. Pretty good. My favourite movies - the Blues Brothers, The Life Aquatic, Spinal Tap, and Silence of the Lambs. I'm also a pretty big batman fan - but don't tell anyone. ;)
As for music ... my tastes vary so much that I can't list them all here. From stravinsky and rachmaninoff to the yeah yeah yeahs, mother mother, and the ting tings. I like pretty much anything with a good beat, or lots of emotion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a sailing trip for three months from Costa Rica through the galapagos, pitcairn island, french polynesia and finally to hawaii. It was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always learning ... and I never want to stop.
