ABOUT ME

My name is Adam. my parents love me as do my brothers and sister, some close friends and I'm going to go out on a limb here and say so does God. If you only knew the sad, sick, sordid confectioner's sugar of a life I've led, to wind up with the oh-so-sweet frosting of my existence, you would appeal to a higher authority as well.

I believe Oscar Wilde was right in most of his observations and few of his personal choices. I believe the exact opposite about Arjuna.

I lived in Japan and I love Japan. Japan has the greatest ice cream in the world. If you come to my part of Japan (upon my triumphant return), I will lead you to this ice cream. It's home is the polar opposite of H.P. Lovecraft's R'lyeh because instead of housing an ancient and evil God it houses benevolent and wonderful ice cream.

My daily conversation has far less obscure references then this brief self synopsis.

PHILOSOPHY

Men who seek happiness are like drunkards who can never find their house but are sure they have one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a place for the weary to rest? If you like scotch, I normally have scotch. Beer has become something of a noble cause, of late, as well.

Interests

My uncle once said of my aunt, then recently dead, that what set her apart was her unique heart, that was open to embrace, regardless of her personal tastes, the things that mattered most to others.

I was 6 at the time, maybe 7, and I didn't know my aunt very well if at all. But I could never relinquish the in-that-instant inherited opinion that interest was something received from others via the mechanism of willingness.
