About Me


I'm on a road trip. But I think it might be permanent!
I like life. Even when it sucks. Because as much as it can totally suck at times, and I mean suck so bad that you can't bring yourself to get out of bed because the simple act of holding yourself upright is just too painful, well, you can always do something about it.
As long as you want to.
And if you don't think you can do anything about it, it's because you just don't want to. Usually because you're a masochistic dumbass. And, well, we all have our own reasons for being masochistic dumbasses from time to time.
But rest assured, that's how it is. And I think that's pretty great.
As for me, right now, I'm doing my damnedest to figure out how to live happily and comfortably without conventionally working. I know I'll get to the bottom of it sooner or later; I've been planning my whole life for this!

My Interests

People and places but not things. Raw food. Personal and spiritual enlightenment. Travel. Yoga. Art. Music. Theater. Film. Books. Fresh Air. Positive energy. All-encompassing love.

I find myself pondering the phenomenon of forgiveness. Of course, I am a Jew; call it a genetic predisposition. This train of thought leads to theology, which leads to mythology which leads to fantasy sci-fi books, all of which greatly interest me.
