ABOUT ME

I am a little distant and aloof at times. I am inquisitive and curious. I sincerly like connecting with other human beings in whatever ways I can. Etc, etc. Describing oneself is surprisingly difficult so I'll stop here.

PHILOSOPHY

In the words of Kurt Vonnegut:

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
