About Me

I often look at the world around me in terms of potential photographs. Sometimes I'll look at something as everyday as a tree or a moonlit sky and see such tremendous beauty that I want to keep the image forever. I love a good book and the last book I read said that it loved me too. I have traveled to my fair share of places around the world and I can't wait to explore the world a lot more in the years to come. I love music, in a strictly platonic way. My shot glass collection is bigger than yours. I think that trashbags are the greatest invention of all time, with the exception of ipods and maybe beer. "Are you my caucasian?" If you can tell me where that is from I will give you all of my monopoly money.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life - daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." - Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

"If you love yourself, you love everybody else as you do yourself. As long as you love another person less than you love yourself, you will not really succeed in loving yourself, but if you love all alike, including yourself, you will love them as one person and that person is both God and man. Thus he is a great and righteous person who loving himself, loves all equally." -Meister Eckhart
