Want to know more?
Okay, if you want to know more, here's more:
- I love Brandon Sanderson novels, the Cosmere is a vast and wonderful landscape
- I've read the Wheel of Time series multiple times
- You likely haven't watched Fight Club, 5th Element, Donnie Darko, or Disney's Hercules as many times as I have.
- Magic: The Gathering is one of my hobbies outside of sport (the Invasion cycle is my favorite for lore, and anything around Dominaria)
- Time Travel and Infinity are two of my favorite contemplations. Give me your favorite book or movie suggestions, and I'll dive right in
- Jungian Archetypal philosophy is one of my favorite subjects; I love Joseph Campbell's Mythology research; the concept of identity as a social construct fascinate me.
- I have completed one 10-Day Silent Meditation retreat, and I would love to do it again. The power of the mind is wonderful, and we hardly tap into it.
