CURRENT MISSION

Learning enough to not only survive, but help others after a global collapse of some sort...

ABOUT ME

Currently spending lifetimes foraging among ruminants which crowd desolately overdeveloped rural avenues of hometown misery for scraps of dignity and the end of an otherwise terrible screenplay. At the age of four, the monkeys of coor taught me to speak ki-swahili, and I roamed the plains freely conversing with lions and lionesses, the latter seeking my flesh to feed their young. When the darkness came, I did not shrink from it, rather turned to its inner mysteries and smiled... beautiful, ebon warrior. And the light came forth from the day, dreamed a bright reality that banished ghosts from collective memory. Authors stole words from empty or imagined rulers of the sky, and yet vengeance did not come. This goes on for quite some time, then I get back to me, difficult as it might seem. Dreary, isn't it? now imagine writing this inanely for the past five minutes, and you will know what it is to be me... Without irony, I can confirm my love of life.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because I haven't died yet... still working on that... ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The best I can do in this "stationary" phase in my life is open my home to whomever needs a place to sleep for a bit... there's a fair amount of room and a bathtub... it's not much, but it keeps me from freezing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Outside of this program, i've hitched a great deal inside the country and made various connections while doing so so that I didn't always sleep outside...

Interests

Not filling out long forms with meaningless vague gibberish. Rock. Because it's all about the rock, right? The Rock! The Rock! Because TV is GOD, man. Why not something like Monster Truck Rally Sunday? No, it's not an official holiday, but you can celebrate it if you want. Figuring out reasons behind my short attention span... For example, perhaps I only retain information I steal from other people's heads? Then I keep switching, and then I can only get halfway through... Speaking of Ideas, perhaps I should get cracking on that backpacking I've been into lately, like the past seven years. Hamsters are neat, but I prefer cats. Or dogs. Or ferrets? I would like to pretend I know why he/she is biting me. Staring off into space. Eating nutmeg. A lot of nutmeg. Nearly dying. Experiencing what I believed was a female orgasm and realizing that answers aren't cheap. Teaching other people lessons they don't want. That will be fifty dollars. We do accept Money Orders. Becoming the corporate plural in tight spots.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies
As often as possible, restrain myself from making them. Fail miserably. Watch the banner ad above, then get back to watching whatever crap I have the opportunity to watch. Making the worst of things makes you hate stuff that's even worse... But loving... And if you say that in prison, someone will parrot it back to you cloyingly... creepy.
But hey, I'm making a movie now. Want in on it? Let me know... (we could really use actors...)
Music
Yes. Very many yeses. Y words = neat. There's an equation that missed the yearbook. Can't even play through one song before I get bored... and find some other music to torture expectation with. Music is great, especially when it's terrible. I love hating country music made after 1936. I play, I guess. I like to play along... but I prefer playing alone. Were we talking about video games? No, good... music.
Books
You name it.
