About Me
ABOUT ME
I grew up in a town of about 150,000 people. I am originally from Oregon,it's a beautiful place. I get poison Ivy like nobody's buisness. I grew up skateboarding and travelling around the US. I feel uneasy about the way Lamas mouths are formed. I was named after Santa Claus. I am both indicisive and stubborn. I spend a lot of time reading. I have a motorcylce and do not know how to drive it. favorite type of food so far is Indian. I once drew a picture of Abraham Lincoln every day for a month. I sometimes write poems and hide them for people to find.
PHILOSOPHY
everything is the same thing different. the more I learn about anything the less difference I see in all things.
my part in this is to come to the best possible understanding of what it means to be a person; how should I conduct my self as a person, what are my structures, what can I have faith in, what determines my process of decision making. And what is my contribution other than becoming my best person.
sometimes I would love to simply have an identified task and to work at it forever. Other times I want only to sleep and to watch movies, other times still I want an anwser. who knows?

The first ten minutes of Once upon a time in the West (priceless). I also have a ginormous interest in stop motion animation. Strangely enough it's not my favorite film medium to watch. I very much like Charlie Chaplin.
