CURRENT MISSION

Feeling the rapture of being alive

ABOUT ME

Haven't been on in maybe a year so I need to update all of this. No time now but no longer in Spain. Living in Colorado.

Moved to Soria, Spain with the Auxiliares program in September and will be spending the next 9 months here living it up. I don't even know where I'd start trying to describe myself in a little blip so I guess I'll just say that I've lived in quite a few places both inside and outside the U.S., enjoy new experiences, meeting new people and learning about other cultures, traditions, and perspectives, and in general try to enjoy life as much as possible while keeping an open mind to everything that comes my way.

PHILOSOPHY

lively up yourself.

Music, Movies, and Books

A couple authors I really like are Khaled Hosseini and Tom Robbins. There are many others but those two stick out. I also like poetry, especially spoken word.

Music: Bob Dylan, Railroad Earth, Bela Fleck, Paul Simon, Bob Marley Xavier Rudd, Van Morrison, Taj Mahal, Grateful Dead, The Band, Ani Difranco Tinariwen, Ali Farka Toure,Trampled By Turtles, Crooked Still, Outkast, Brother Ali, Yonder Mountain, Orishas, Dessa, and so many others...

Movies: I don't really watch too many movies. My favorite movies of all time would probably have to be Forrest Gump and The Princess Bride. And The Last Waltz is the best movie documentary of all time.
