About Me

"Heaven isn't a place you go when you die, it's that moment in life when you actually feel alive."

My Interests

Sports, Movies, History, Traveling, the word "basil", skiing, camping, the sound of breaking glass.

I'd like to meet:

Mao, The Dali Lama, and the world at large. People who know the difference between good and well, finished and done, and can generally string a set of cohesive thoughts together. Someone to teach me Italian or French or Gaelic, and now German.
