i try to lead a balanced life. everything in moderation, including moderation.

i am now coming out of a post-college confusion phase. after studying philosophy and neuropsychology, i moved back to los angeles and lived a mostly bum life with my companion mary jane, while going between a few different (shitty) jobs. recently I decided to pursue a career in law, so I am now studying for the lsat and preparing applications.

i am also working on some projects that mix analytic philosophy with creative literary form, i occasionally write screenplays for short films for my brother to direct, and i am always looking for interesting collaborative projects to sink my teeth into.

spittin' logistics

i apparently have an 'intense gaze' that intimidates some people at first sight. my hazel-green eyes seem to strike many.

i think way too much about philosophical topics, almost to the point of it being unhealthy. i have a very wittgensteinian view of the world, for those who know what that means and are curious of my general dispositions.

i like to think in terms of symbolic logic as much as possible.

chillin with friends, usually. occasionally at a show or a bar around town.

not so much private as geeky, but i am a huge video game enthusiast.
