Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
East Coast Bike Trip from NH, to FLA.
ABOUT ME
Looking to see the world with my own two eyes. Kind of quiet and low key, but looking to change that a little bit. Get out of my shell so to speak. I like laughing and learning, and curious about almost everything. Show me what your life is like, where you've been and where you want to go.
PHILOSOPHY
Sink or Swim

Music, Movies, and Books
Documentaries on most anything. Some all time film favorites: The Wizard of OZ, The Thin Red Line, The Bothersome Man, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Gattaca, Goodbye Lenin!, A Midsummer's Night's Dream, City of Lost Children, Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, Amelie. Music: I play in a Hardcore/Grind band but love Classical the most...Anyone from Mendelsshon, Tchaikovsky, Holst, Prokofiev, to Glass, Nyman, Zimmer and Tiersen. I also enjoy, Thrash, Electronic,Indie,Indie Hip-hop, Tons of 80's pop and Noise/Harsh Noise. Also really enjoy film scores for some reason... Books: Usually Cultural Studies of some sort. Also thoughts on Philosophy/Existentialism. Not really into novels, save from a few in these veins: Catcher in the Rye, Fight Club, Oz Stories, Nausea, Steppenwolf.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Touring with my band and the ever common road trip with friends had always been an ever exciting adventure for me. Just being in a place you never been before is such an amazing experience, whether it's 2o minutes outside your door or across vast oceans...Oh, and I did take a trip in a Hot-Air Balloon this Summer.
