About Me

I like stuff, I don't like stuff. Am I just like you? Sure, why not. But the interesting thing is that for every degree of closeness that you and I share, whoever you are, there is an opposite degree of closeness that we will never bridge. The dance that we perform around this separation is what makes the connection between us interesting.

My Interests
