"a man needs something he can hold on to; a nine pound hammer or a woman like you..." -Ray Lamontagne
I enjoy thinking, creating, innovating, learning and exploring... immensely. I enjoy people who feel the same.
Favorite pictures ever:


This is a view into space 1/30 the size of the moon in our sky. If our eyes were 4-billion times more sensitive, this would be the view we would see all over our nightime skies.


This is a picture of our earth from 4-billion (4,000,000,000) miles away, a single pixel in this image. The Faintest objects in the previous picture are about 4.4676x22 [quintillion] (74,767,000,000,000,000,000,000) miles away, or about 12.7 billion years ago.... the faint light of our earth forming 4.5 billion years ago hasn't even reached the faintest objects in the previous picture yet, if they even still exist. 3 life-bearing planets the age of our own could've formed and died in the time it took the light seen in that photograph to reach our eyes.

Of pain and pleasure

We owe a lot to pain.A large portion of artists, if not all [to some degree], owe their career and success to pain. Without pain we'd never question our daily habits, our life-goals, our philosophy......
