IF YOU WANT TO USE MY PHOTOS PLEASE LINK TO MY TUMBLR, NOT MY FLICKR. Thanks a bunch.

Student of philosophy & literature.

I was born in the rolling hills of East Tennessee, but I live at the foot of the Oregon Cascades. I read (&read&read&read&read), ski, travel, and, of course, take pictures.

Some books I hope to read in the next reasonable chunk of time:

Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner

Midquest by Fred Chappell

Being and Time by Martin Heidegger

Books that have changed my life:

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner

The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus

The Stranger by Albert Camus

Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey

Farewell, I'm Bound to Leave You by Fred Chappell

Light in August by William Faulkner

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by J.S. Foer

Let's talk about books! If you have recommendations or just wanna talk some talk about literature/philosophy/whatever, send me a message! :]

Changing all my strings, I'm gonna write another traveling song

Security is mostly a superstition.

It does not exist in nature,

nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

To keep our faces toward change

and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.

-Helen Keller
