Who am I and what am I doing here?
I'm Austin Cleek, but I'm still trying to figure out what that means. This is what I know for sure: I love the challenge of making the most out of my life while I've got a life to live. I see the world as a beautiful and strange place to exist. I think the universe to be an even more dramatic and bizarre thing to attempt to comprehend. These mysteries are what ends up getting me out of bed in the morning though, and I imagine that I will spend the rest of my life trying to answer my questions about what this experience is. In the end, I think that it will be the search for truth that will be more important than the answers themselves.
So what have I been up to lately that has brought me here? Over the last several years of studying I have become increasingly interested in biological evolution, the technologies that mankind has created over the course of our history, and the potential for technologies that we will create in our future. I spend a lot of time thinking about the ethics behind how we use our different technologies and how we can apply them in order to create a better world.
Beyond learning about technology and evolution; I love music and art. I can't stop reading and writing. My thirst for travel only increases with age. Riding bikes and skateboarding are my favorite modes of urban transportation. Soccer is my sport. Climbing, hiking, canoeing, fishing, running, and horseback riding are my usual escapes into nature. Although that's only a short highlight of my interests.
I have to say that I have the best family anyone could ask for and I am extremely lucky to find myself surrounded by incredible friends. I have no idea what I will be doing with my life now that I have graduated from college but I plan on doing extensive world traveling and writing. I have faith that it will all work out regardless of what happens.
