I'm just a big long blob of concentrated energy floating out in space, come say hi!

I actually had a CS profile way back in like 2008 that I used for a few years and had some good surfing/hosting experiences. But, for whatever reason, I can't seem to figure out my login details from back then. Go figure. SO, I'll start from scratch. Here goes.

I just moved back to central TX from some years in Colorado and Oklahoma.

I like outdoorsy stuff and music mostly.

I'm a self-ascribed giant, towering over the earth at 6'8". When bored I sometimes rove the countryside at nighttime in search of children to eat.

I'm also a preacher of the church of the Wyld Stallyns. In the words of the holy saints Bill and Ted, "be excellent to each other."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because sleeping on someone's couch beats the hell out of sleeping on a Starbucks rooftop?

I'm actually a misanthrope, and I despise and don't trust people...not entirely sure why I'm here to be honest. Just kidding.

People are cool + I have a couch + I travel = GO

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you how to make a mean vegetarian chili (and I'm not even a veg).

Also magic tricks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dishes. I'll do the dishes. No one likes doing the dishes.

I'd also be willing to share stories from my life and travels that are rife with pithy sarcasm, [alleged] wit, and [hopefully] a little humor.
