About Me

I eat cake with vigor. I inhale cookies like they're the last of a dying breed. And I workout just so I can do this over, and over, and over again... The best part? No cavities.And, I'm developing a personal theory that goes a little something like this, "There is no such thing as in over your head until you're more than halfway in to know what that means." How amazingly apropos, you have no idea. Make no mistake, however, life is more amazing now than ever and it just keeps getting better.

My Interests

Laughing, sunfilled rooms, the comfortable feeling you get when you're around close friends and family, the process of making friends and falling in love, being part of a process that creates positive change for others, the feel of fleece, letting your brain wander into unfamiliar territory, adding to a body of knowledge, interior decorating, daydreaming, doodling and chicken caesar salads.

I'd like to meet:

Argentinos!!! Yo vengo una más!!!

Music:

I've yet to encounter a genre I don't like.

Movies:

My Fair Lady and Sex and the City on DVD.

Television:

The Office ("I'm a motivator of people, yeah."), and whatever else comes in on my three channels.

Books:

The Fountainhead was very long, but inspiring. Anthem was very short, but inspiring. And Amy Tan is always just right. Ooo, and Angels in America was probably one of the most creative, totally insane pieces of work I've ever read... I loved every moment of it!

Heroes:

Individuals who do well by others. Those who improve the life of another, even in the smallest of sense. Those who strive to uplift human personality rather than degrade it are winners in my book. And dogs, because their love is without measure and unyielding.

Everyones New Years Resolution: Travel More!!!!

Ah, to be back in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The city still smells the same. A mix between black exhaust and concrete and metal topped off with a bit of dampness that never really goes away, but, rath...

To be human

It's complicated to be human: to continually reconcile rights and wrongs with inhibitions and wants for something more to life than just being you. It's tough or exhilarating on those days when yo...

Presenting to the Idiots

This summer has been a doozy. Two jobs, three summer classes, I barely have time to think any extraneous thoughts, let alone get a workout in. I've been so busy I literally have to document every step...

A Time in Mexico

There was a time in Mexico when a bottle of tequila could take away your old sins and replace them with new one; broken in by a night of debauchery of which you'll take mind to remember not an inkling...
