About me: I'm a nerd. I love geeks. I read critical theory. I'm a hack musician. I think Thomas Newman is the most underrated composer of our time. I'd rather be in another country. I'm perpetually under construction.
"People ask, So what is this [Body without Organs]? --- But you're already on it, scurring like a vermin, groping like a blind person, or running like a lunatic: desert traveler and nomad of the steppes. On it we sleep, live our waking lives, fight --- fight and are fought --- seek our place, experience untold happiness and fabulous defeats; on it we penetrate and are penetrated; on it we love." -Gilles Deleuze, "a thousand plateaus"
"Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared." - Henri Nouwen
"For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?" - bell hooks
