About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Connecting the dots

ABOUT ME

He's a total space cadet. He makes a soft first impression, but has a lot of interesting insight once you get to know him.

PHILOSOPHY

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
-Harper Lee (To Kill a Mockingbird)

"If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite."
-William Blake

Interests

Speaking without saying a word, staring intently at inanimate objects, listening to crashing waves, going to bed after dawn, looking impossible situations in the eye, breaking the rules without crossing the line

Music: the beatles, bob marley, the red hot chili peppers, the mars volta, radiohead, massive attack, manu chao, sublime, aphex twin, animal collective, lots of other stuff... (http://www.last.fm/user/aokuneff should serve as a solid overview i s'pose. i'm kinda a music junkie)

Movies: mulholland drive, the matrix, casablanca, dazed and confused, american history x, 500 days of summer, waking life, american beauty, robin hood men in tights. i'll enjoy it if it makes me think or it makes me laugh

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

dogsledding in alaska,
hitchhiking to and riding a camel in timbuktu,
skydiving in san diego the morning of my senior prom,
getting extra pages added to my passport in ouagadougou
... hard to figure out what qualifies as amazing really, but i think these are pretty interesting
