About Me

I'm a nice guy. In a sort of nice guy way. You know, like when there's this guy and you're all like: 'hey, isn't he a nice guy' and people are all like: 'yeah, he's a nice guy', and so on, and so forth. At least I think so.

I guess that's it.

Oh, and:

I make music, too. Check it out at:

Interests

I'm interested in art. All sorts of art. I'm a musician and a writer, so you can guess I love music and books. I love cinema and good tv shows, too. And I love comic books. I also love museums. Oh, and I absolutely love comedy. All forms of art, really. I'll try anything that's been made creatively and passionately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, people have a tendency to single out your typical amazing things in this box, like Macchu Picchu or the Taj Mahal. Now, don't get me wrong, Macchu Picchu is pretty amazing (and I guess the Taj Mahal is also amazing, although I've never been there), but there is amazement to be found everywhere, if you allow yourself to be amazed. So be amazed! By things and people, large or small, rare or common. I am, as often as possible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I never understood this one. Teach, learn, share? What does it mean? Like Yoda or Mr. Miyagi? That's a lot of pressure! I... I don't know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer the uncanny gift of my charming personality. I don't know. I don't really care for this question. I don't expect my guests to offer me anything. I'm the one offering, when I host them, and that's fine by me.
