My favorite days are when so much gets done you feel like a week has gone by, and you fall into bed out of physical exhaustion instead of mental numbness.

I try to seek balance in life; I try to be kind, but honest; easy-going, but dedicated; romantic, but grounded; exciting, but tempered; realistic, but hopeful.

Books: The City of God, The Memory Room, The Sparrow, The Saturated Self. I peruse many books related to evolutionary psychology, philosophy, religion, epistemology, ethics and morals. I read the ones that pass the "this author has expertise in this field and isn't just trying to get rich" test.

Movies: I love movies. Gladiator, Man on Fire, Snow Falling on Cedars, Wicker Park, Ghost Town, The Last Samurai, The Ex. The Town.

Shows: Arrested Development.

Music: Tool, Muse, Damien Rice, and much more.

Food: I'm a picky eater.
