About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have as much experience on the ground as I can in the clouds. I like the rain too!!

ABOUT ME

Life is all Mountain tops and valleys, moments and experiences. Dig on it right now and check it out!
Massive fan of mexican food, and all that is spicy.
Headphones.
Psychology does not explain it all.
Nor does solipsism.
No formula except trust and confidence in the moves you make on your own board.

PHILOSOPHY

Communication is very important to me. The world changes on a micro and macro level everyday, thus making it important for people to maintain ties and keep bonds strong. Breathe, realize, hear the howls of the saxophone. Most importantly, react back. Environment is definitely a factor, see outside of it. Create things with your life, and then enjoy them. There is so much here, wander about and ponder it all.

Music, Movies, and Books

I dig on all kinds of movies, thought provoking, action based, etc.

Books: I prefer fiction primarily. Although, biographies are great too.I dig Kerouac, HS Thompson, Vonnegut, Freud, Nietzsche,Douglas Adams,Snyder, B.Dylan,Dalai Lama, and especially Tom Robbins, et.al

MUSIC IS THE BEST. David Byrne, Sigur Ros, Zappa, Broken Social Scene, Gruvis Malt, Pearl Jam, Interpol, Phish, Miles(electric era especially), Beastie Boys, Tribe, Chopin, Brahams, Sufjan Stevens, Metheny, Cream, Arcade Fire, Talking Heads.....The list will always continue...Music is the fizz to my soda!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

No single experience here...
Salt Flats. So white.
Loving in New Mexico.
Duality of San Francisco and Boston. The Alps. West coast of Norway with its wonderful fjords. The look in someone's eyes when the moment is really happening. Stockholm, Vienna, and Budapest.
First exposure to Kerouac, Pearl Jam, love, and the beauty in this world. Beyond all that, deriving peace from the fact that I can feel this way about life.
