CURRENT MISSION

Seeing Benelux, Germany, and Austria this summer.

ABOUT ME

There is not much to say. I'm a 25 year old law student. I love meeting people and experiencing new social scenes. I'm pretty quiet guy until you get to know me. I'm also generally easy going.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave every thing better than you found it.

"To do right is to know what you want. When you are dissatisfied with yourself, it's because you are after something you don't really want. What objects are you proposing to yourself? Are they the objects you really value? If they are not, you are cheating yourself. Success in getting, after much labor, what you really don't care for is the bitterest and most ridiculous failure." -George Santayana

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: If its Sci-fi, then i probably like it. Also any of those great movies that showed up on MST3k. Oh right, if it has to do with fantasy, then i probably like it. Anime of all kinds. It'd be tough to list all the movies i like here, but lets go. Waking life, Punch Drunk Love, Trainspotting, SLC Punk, Saving Private Ryan, the Aristocrats, Spun, Groundhog day, Freddy Got Fingered (alright, this one is horrible, but i love it), Dark Crystal, Alice in Wonderland, Pirate of the Caribean, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, 2001, 2010, Borat, The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Oh brother where art thou. Alright, i give up. i'll do more later.

Music: Spot 1019, Daniel Johnston, Nic Fair, John Fruciante, Leonard Cohen, Dead Milkmen, PFFR, Primus, Erik Satie, Tenacious D, Beck, Captured by Robots, Tom Waits, Radiohead, and lots of other music, but i can't remember a lot of them. If you have anything you think i should listen to, send me a message.

Books: 1984, Fight Club, The Prince, The Bible Code (Not a book about jesus or god), Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, A True Believer by Eric Hoffer, Starship Troopers, Godel's Proof, The Singularity is Near, Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, Dragonlance Books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I received a life staff from a mushroom shaman, I recently flew to Wisconsin to pick up an unproven car and drove it across the country, and there are many small achievements, but nothing note-worthy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, i am a damn good mechanic, on cars and motorcycles. I can do lots of home repairs. I am also an amateur philosopher and trained political scientist. As far as things i would like to learn. . . just about everything. I'm interesting in many subjects and if i'm not interested, i still like to be familiar with a subject.
