About Me:
I live my life with passion and intention. I believe in karma. I believe that we’re all connected. And I believe in the significance of the “little thingsâ€â€¦ sometimes that’s all it takes to change the world. I love meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. My circle of friends is very diverse, a fun variety pack full of a 100 different flavors, if you will. I try to see the good in everyone, and I don’t like talking bad about others, even the few people that I don’t actually like. I try to find beauty in the seemingly ugly, and kindness in the seemingly cruel. I’m not perfect and don’t expect anyone else to be! I love music of all kinds, martial arts, writing, and dancing. I generally eat really healthy, but I love Brazilian bbq, coconut ice cream, and Captain Crunch too! I love dressing to the nines at all times. I mean, I could go at any moment so why not go in a killer pair of heels, right? I love animals, especially penguins, and my two cats (Teddy and Banjo) are the best, they’re like my kids. Good books, classic cars, Irish pubs, MAC makeup, acai, Nobu sushi, and unique architecture—yes please! Bad movies, crowded nightclubs, and fake people—no thanks. There's so much I want to learn, so many places I want to see, I wish there were enough hours in the day to do it all!
: The Man in the Arena :
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
Who I'd Like to Meet:
My parents, when they were my age. Also: Stephen Hawking, Mae West, Muhammad Ali, Will Ferrell, Johnny Cash, Lao Tzu, Audrey Hepburn, Quentin Tarantino, Patrick Starfish, Stephen Spielberg, Robert Smith, Hayao Miyazaki, Jim Morrison, Joaquin Phoenix, and Rickson Gracie. It'd be nice to have them over for dinner, all at once.

: THIS IS WHAT YOU SHALL DO :
Love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches,
give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
have patience and indulgence towards the people,
take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men;
go freely with the powerful uneducated persons,
and with the young, and mothers, of families:
read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life:
re-examine all you have been told at school or church,
or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.
-Walt Whitman.
