PHILOSOPHY

“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.”
― Dalai Lama XIV

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a sucker for any movie starring Paul Newman or John Wayne. All things Tarantino. Most of Scorsese's Deniro movies (Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas etc...). 'Casablanca', 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', and 'Gone With the Wind' hold a special place in my heart.

Classic rock. Jazz. Blues. Reggae. Classical piano. Late 80s-early 2000's rap. Sinatra. Opeth....my music taste is very eclectic.

I enjoy classic literature and historical novels. Also, a big fan of G.R.R.Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series.
