About
Sometimes i wish i'd kept copies of the profiles i end up writing for these types of social networking websites. I am convinced it would paint me as rather schizophrenic.
to quote Borges "I write to ease the passage of time"
i am 28. I live in Mexico City but consider myself a nomadic hermit. Everyone needs someplace to put their books and that place for me is a neighborhood called La Condesa in Mexico City. I love traveling but i make a lousy tourist. I love exploring a different city and then doing what i do when i'm home, eat, drink, have lots of coffee and good conversation.
I am i have discovered primarily a writer. Words are the very stuff from which i most love to create...things afterwards have a way of taking other shapes..so at times i am a director or photographer and once upon a time i considered myself an actor. I believe that most everything you need to know about life you can find in one of three Shel Silverstein books, The Giving Tree, The Missing Piece, and the Missing Piece meets the Big O.
I strongly believe that all conversations deserve the garnish of a cup of tea, coffee, or a good scotch. though not necessarily in that order. I am blessed with magnificent friends, which i think either reflects well on my good taste or perhaps poorly on their bad taste ;-) I am in a constant search for people with whom conversation achieves that..."click" I believe in the contradiction of the human condition and try not to resent it too often. and if you've read through this all then i thank you for your curiosity which ultimately is that most wonderful and treacherous of human traits. I am work in progress. and i can usually admit when i'm wrong.
