ABOUT ME
I'm a very open/active minded person. I've never lost the curiosity of youth. Almost anything and everything excites me. I love math, science (physics, bio, chem, psy), philosophy. I love to read.I hate school - I love to study, but it's so much more enjoyable when I can choose what and when to study while making my own deadlines (I have a 3.8 GPA though). It's impossible to confine an educational experience to a semester. Learning is a lifelong process that must be fueled by a person's internal curiosity and desire; unfortunatly, I think formal education has a tendency to extinguish those things. I spent the majority of my free time in the army studying.I love books. I'm slowly creating my own library. I LOVE to cook and EAT! I was planning on attending culinary school (TCA, CIA or FCI) when I ETS'd from the Army, but I decided to wait until later in life to do so, because the culinary industry is so demanding, and I want to have time for other things at this point in my life. I am studying math and spanish, and plan to teach high school math while I continue my education. I just started studying music/guitar seriously. I've messed around on the guitar since I was a teenager, but I'm getting serious about it now. I hate religion, but I would never go out of my way to argue with someone about it. I treat people with respect so long as they do likewise. I consider myself an intellectual, though I have a pretty vulgar sense of humor (probably stems from my time in Ranger Bat.) I am an amateur MMA fighter (3-0)and an active sport Jiu Jitsu/Submission Grappling competitor. I'd like to be a pro fighter by 2013 and someday compete at a world class level in BJJ. Ok, that's enough.
PHILOSOPHY
Ayn Rand has probably been my greatest philosphical influence, though I certainly don't see eye to eye with her on everything. Politically, I lean towards being libertarian. I love to discuss ideas with people, provided all those involved can stay calm and rational.
Что привело меня на Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I joined this site primarily as a way to find places to stay when I'm on training trips (MMA & BJJ), but the idea of couchsurfing is really cool and I would love to host someone (although it's doubtful that anyone would be coming to my neck of the woods). The people on this site seem to be open minded, intelligent,thoughtful, easy going, understanding and fun loving; exactly the type of people I enjoy meeting.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией
I would love to learn ANYTHING that a host or surfer has to share. I'm sure I could share lots of things, but the most unique would probably be Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!
