About Me

and my high school yearbook: I'd like to one day look back on my life and know I tried as much as I could to savor the many facets of human experience, and to know that I courageously and passionately loved, agitated, prayed, fucked, traveled, ate, drank, and created art on my path to old age."Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." - Aristotle (from "Nicomachean Ethics")
