About Me



Hello. I enjoy spending time with the good people of the world, listening to music, playing music, reading books, thinking, walking in the woods, swimming in the water, riding toboggans, sitting on porches, lying in hammocks, building forts and/or rafts, recording songs, writing things down, creating ideas, obsessing over forms, and stuff.
I also enjoy sunshine, oxygen and presents.

First of all: the people that I always wanted to meet and now I have met:
