ABOUT ME
I'm out to experience the entirety of life. But it turns out that's easy, because life will come right at you if you don't run from it. Dodging it is the hard part - so I stopped doing that a while back. I'm a rambler at heart and have been more or less living on the road for 2 years, going where the breeze takes me. I've hitchhiked, driven, and ridden freight trains all over the place, and I've got more crazy stories than I can remember.

People always tell me "you should write a book," which i havent done yet. but, I write about my experiences as they happen, here:

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a joke...but it's the best joke ever told, and laughter is the substance of living!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I don't take vacations, or even 'trips,' this is simply my life and I want to truly experience every place I go to, which is something no travel agent can sell you in a hotel package. plus I'm usually traveling alone, and love to meet people as I go. CS has proven to be one of the most amazing ways to do that, and has truly made my life bigger. and for that, I'm eternally grateful.

Interests

I've been a musician of many instruments for most of my life, and I have a passion for adventure in all its forms. If you're interested, here's a link to a recent basement improv session. if you like it the channel has a bunch more where it came from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVW56tLHrVM
and here's another, different, atmospheric one:

I enjoy climbing trees, making music out of religious texts, repurposing trash, sampling offensive audio from old movies, inventing new ways to walk...you know - the good stuff.
