CURRENT MISSION

Desire, said the Buddha, is the cause of suffering. But without desire, what delight?.

ABOUT ME

The Lord loves a workin' man. Don't trust Whitey. See a doctor, take care of it.

PHILOSOPHY

...I'm pretty sure I can't get behind one. I strongly suspect life is one big practical joke. I think my only life meta-goal is to explore the nature of humanity through trying to spend time with as diverse a group of folks (in terms of class, race, experience, personality, etc.) as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

for now, just offering a home and probably some wonderfully delicious food!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I actually haven't surfed yet. My brother (Scott, same last name, I believe he has his profile up) just got back from doing relief work in N.O. and had wonderful experiences with his hosts. Having slept on many an odd couch from a willing stranger, I think it's time to repay a bit of karmic debt.
