About Me

But if we're not to risk falling into that other absurd, in which we come unpeeled from all the objects of the world, and they all seem equally two dimensional and stale, we must somehow preserve the memory and the possibility of our childess, absurd affections.-Lost in Translation [Eva Hoffman]_____________________________________________Es mas bello vivir cantando About Me: Secret pleasure of mine: dancing in the rain. I am overcommited to excellence. I love people who are honest, but more importantly genuine. In 5 years I hope to have traveled the"endless summer" by bus. I will learn at least one more language. I hope to work for a non-profit or NGO. I also am interested in util education. I love to stay out all night towards the madrugada. I love peanut butter in north america and dulce de leche in the southern. Pet peeves: people who are late, overintellectualized, too dominant, slow drivers (yes, for all you wisconsinites i am a fib) Qualities I cannot get enough of: goofiness, sense of humor, good cologne, tattoos, confidence, risk-takers, those who never deny their passion, spirituality to be continued....
