I embrace uncertainty as often as possible. I love trying new things and forcing myself out of my comfort zone (except skiing and crack). I drink lots of tea and read great books. I'm a minimalist.

Right now I operate a Giraffe fighting ring in my backyard. We've been shut down a few times but I just learned to build taller fences.

Training my Giraffe.

I'm really good at doing front flips on the trampoline. I can't do back flips though. They make me nervous.

I'm not a master of reverse psychology.

My smile. And my elbows. People really love my elbows.

I read books: Seth Godin, Malcom Gladwell, Steven Pressfield, Freedom, Poke the Box, Glass Castle, The Art of Possibility, The Last Lecture, The Referral Engine, Anything You Want, The Tipping Point, Outliers, Uncertainty, Made to Stick, The Art of Non Conformity, The Last Lecture, Anything You Want

I listen to music: Sigur Ros, Neil Young, Eddie Vedder, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Explosions in the Sky, Mumford & Sons, Foster the People, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, The Grouch, Arcade Fire, The Flaming Lips, Johnny Cash, Coldplay

I like this song.

And this one.

Food: Burritos

Sock em boppers, sock em boppers. They're more fun than a pillow fight.

The universe. I'll literally spend hours outside just looking up at the stars. There's something extremely relaxing about it. It's like all your worries and concerns just go away.

This is where I put a random joke after a serious comment.

I read a line on a girl's profile that said, "If you know you're ugly DO NOT talk to me...". I see these kinds of comments from time to time and they aren't just restricted to girls. Some of my guy friends have said things similar to, "I can't believe this girl actually messaged me. It's insulting." I understand and agree that there needs to be a strong element of physical attraction in a relationship but how did we become so self centered? Maybe we should try to re frame how we respond to these situations and instead of being offended, we could be flattered. I try to surround myself with positive people so if you know you've got an ugly personality DO NOT talk to me :)

I don't take myself seriously but I still value deep and meaningful conversations. Preferably over a cup of tea!

You're fucking awesome. If you value relationships over possessions. If you own a dog. If you have a good question to ask. If you can recommend a good book. If you realize the giraffe thing is a joke :) Also if you can hang out soon. We don't have much time. Seriously. What are you waiting for?
