About Me

It's futile to resist! Flickr album : Karaoke pics inside!

I generally spend all of my time to myself, trying to figure out what the fuck is going on in life, which might make me seem like an akward person to get to know. I generally feel akward around people, so don't feel bad.
I also:
like to keep my mind open to everything
am prone to mood swings
have no major goal in my life
can say that I've backpacked across Italy
hate the President
parle francais
sukoshi nihongo ga hanasemasu
and as much as I complain about people I have a deep interest in studying them (aka anthropology is becoming my new love, if not linguistics).

For Alex; this video is awesome!

My Interests

travel, studying foreign languages, cooking, sketching, watching good films, laughing at bad films, pedestrian friendly cities, sleeping, and much more

Heroes:

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." -Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"

I need convenience life

Just a little humor to start this blog. I had forgotten about engrish.com until a japanese guest speaker came to class to speak about "Japlish," or what japanese people think is english. S...

maximus in minimis

There's always something calming about ill-tempered days. Everything is cast in grey tones. And I feel sedate. It reminds me of my high school psychology class. The teacher int...

Took this from someone's bulletin post. 1. How tall are you barefoot? - around 5'6" 2. Have you ever smoked heroin? - wow, talk about straight to the point. 3. Do you own a gun? - I doubt I'...
