Welcome to The Art of Living
Life is a beautiful, beautiful thing. This blog seeks to celebrate the finer points of living: travel, language, poetry, art, nature, philosophy, adventure, and random observation.
About the Author
I'm a 23 year-old writer/thinker/hiker/hobo/poet/journalist, currently living in Dalian, China, studying Chinese, writing, and pursuing as best I can a life that is happy, wholesome, and fun. If you'd like to be in touch, please click here to contact me.
About "The Art of Living"
The name "The Art of Living" is derived from a collection of essays written by Lin Yutang, a great modern Chinese thinker, writer, inventor, and linguist. In 2006, I began writing my own Art of Living to serve as an honors thesis for my degree in philosophy. The result was a 70-page work of creative philosophy, which can be downloaded here. Check it out-- it's a good, thoughtful, happy read.

With very tiny guns?
the guns are normal-sized... they're just dwarfed in perspective by the awesome greatness of the segways and the genetically-mutated breed of mega-cops riding them.
Can you imagine getting run down by one of these guys? 我很可怕！
