About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Software engineer in Brooklyn, searching for new food, new places, and new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over my and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
