About Me

I get pissed off that we can't remember the future. I fear normality. I can't stand the idea that friends and lovers feel or once felt about others the way they do about me. I like cushions and sitting in restaurants so as to see the fewest number of other people. I don't acknowledge the existence of people who sit beside me on trains, buses or airplanes. I long for honesty yet don't know what it means. I challenge myself and all around me to find inspiration in the smallest, weirdest, least-expected places. I think too few people drink too little alcohol (especially Israelis). I long for the stars yet can't imagine ever living outside of a big city where I'll never see the stars. I'd give almost anything to know if we really are alone in the universe. I regret not having lived in Poland 100 years ago. I avoid pets or babies because they take attention away from me. I believe in taking a stand and not giving in. After running my own entertainment company, teaching entrepreneurship to high schoolers, performing improv comedy and flying through the air as a trapeze aerialist, I moved to Israel in Dec 2003 for the Zionist dream and served in the IDF's Homefront Command.
