18. Senior. Independent. Curious. Free-Thinker. Wants to learn more about the world. Loves humanity but loathes the terrible things it does. Wants to be an activist, a writer, and a planet hunter. Kurt Vonnegut, Howard Zinn, Bertrand Russell, Carl Sagan, Eugene Debs, Mark Twain, Noam Chomsky, Amy Goodman, David Attenborough, Thich Nhat Hanh. Get to know me. Oh, and absolutely nothing I'm about to tell you is true. And so it goes.

‘I’m going to propose that I tell you a joke, Boo, on the condition that afterward you shush and let me sleep.’
‘Is it a good one?’
‘Mario, what do you get when you cross an insomniac, an unwilling agnostic, and a dyslexic.’
‘I give.’
‘You get somebody who stays up all night torturing himself mentally over the question of whether or not there’s a dog.’
