ABOUT ME

i am me. i try to find humor in the absurdity of bad moments and experiences. i like writing stuff (personal descriptions not included). i search for things that are hard to find.

my main passion is story telling, specifically through the visual medium. i.e. film or tv. a story can be anything: an adventure across the world, a walk down the block, or a random stream of thoughts

i try to live life day by day, sometimes skipping a day in between, but all the while feel the future looming. i sip dark coffee at local cafes, browse at used book stores, eat at indian restaurants, drink at belgian beer bars, preferably walking to and fro. though i can only afford do some of those things in moderation. at home i live cheaply and watch movies, read, and think. i have lofty goals and aspirations that may or may not come true. i've lived in illinois, iowa, edinburgh, and currently seattle. los angles is probably next. i have an annoying solipsistic habit of starting sentences with 'I'.
