About me:

..
i'm kind of a completely unapologetic hipster. also a huge nerd.
i'm pretty sure myspace is dead. check out my actual internet residences in my blog up there. i haven't actually used myspace for anything productive since 2004, and some of my photos are wildly out of date but the site is so poorly coded i don't feel like dealing with the updating process. eh. so i'll leave my page as it is, like some sort of warped monument that future generations can uncover and study in some vain attempt to learn about life in these 'oughts.





"it is a small world. you do not have to live in it particularly long to learn that for yourself. there is a theory that, in the whole world, there are only five hundred real people (the case, as it were; all the rest of the people in the world, the theory suggests, are extras) and what is more, they all know each other. and it's true, or true as far as it goes. in reality the world is made of thousands upon thousands of groups of about five hundred people, all of whom will spend their lives bumping into each other, trying to avoid each other, and discovering each other in the same unlikely teashop in Vancouver. there is an unavoidability to this process. it's not even coincidence. It's just the way the world works, with no regard for individuals or for propriety."

"we sat on a park bench and chewed the gum and I thought, well, now I have found something, I have found something that is going to help me, for a long long time to come. the park grass looked greener, the park benches looked better and the flowers were trying harder. maybe that stuff wasn't good for surgeons but anybody who wanted to be a surgeon, there was something wrong with them in the first place."
