: About Me

I'm 25 and have recently returned to my hometown of Los Angeles after a year long spiritual journey through the American Southwest. It's good to be home, but it's hard to see how things have changed since I've been gone.

I love music, philosophy, writing, nature, animals, cultural anthropolgy, spirituality, and good food. I've studied many of these subjects in a formal setting, but consider none of them to be my sole focus. I would love to be a famous musician or writer one day, but I realize how difficult that can be to acheive. If I don't succeed at that I would be happy just to own a small upscale nightclub with good food and live music.

My passion is ...

music and writing.

I know too much about ...

way too many subjects.

My parents always told me ...

you're worthless.

My childhood ambition ...

to be a rock star.

My favorite memory ...

is spending time with someone special who I miss.

Why I write ...

because I can.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

a blank tv screen.

My first job ...

was Baskin Robbins.

My best moment ...

is always when I have nothing to lose and I'm under pressure.

My inspiration ...

is someone who I never see anymore.

Taoism most likely evolved into a religion toward the end of China's Hundred Schools of Thought period (770-222 B.C.E.).

Many have tried to describe the Tao. To some it...
