organic contradiction.
My claim to fame:
Occasional moments of brilliance. Turning clumsiness into an art form. Working full-time as a procrastinator but never showing up to work. Winning a track meet bare foot (it hurt like hell). Climbing Mt. Fuji but having no pictures to prove it. Starring as a mole in my high school play 'The Wind in the Willows'. Starring as myself in a biopic about myself and then realizing during my final death scene that the movie wasn't a movie...it was real life.So on and so on etc. Passing gas in enclosed areas with tons of people and then looking at everybody else like they did it. Dreaming about life being a dream. Making my 5th grade classmate Carlos Santos laugh so hard he farted. Remaining cool under pressure when things go wrong as they often do.
My Projects
The Three Deaths and Re-Birth of the PhilosopherThe Liberation of Self- Sometimes we must deconstruct to grow....
