ABOUT ME

What you will find with me is that I'm an incurable optimist. I'll frown and burst out laughing right after. Friendly by nature. I'm a silly guy who does his best to give each day my best and finish with smile at the end.

If there is one thing I love to do is to sit and converse among friends. Conversation and discussion are favored past times as I find great joy in them. I'll generally start up a topic and just wander around till where we began is but a memory of the discussions inception.

I have much to share but will leave that for later. Cheers!

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy in life is to learn to teach and teach to learn. Exploring many areas of life to better understand principles and what makes up a persons character. Curious about everything around me and want to keep learning about it all.

Life is the journey to obtain knowledge. In obtaining knowledge we apply it and so it becomes wisdom. Wisdom that which does nothing but grow with ourselves. Wisdom stops growing when we stop learning. Learning is a state of continuous awareness about ones surroundings. Like fire, it needs to be fed often because the knowledge becomes the fire. It thus becomes the light of wisdom that pierces through the illusion.

Live, love, and laugh. Take action with humility and patience. Open to the world and in turn it will open up to you.

"The world is not beautiful, therefore it is." - Keiichi Sigsawa

"Be curious, not judgmental."
- Walt Whitman

Favorite poem since I was little.
"To see a world in a grain of sand,
A heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour." - William Blake

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Through spontaneity. Not sure when or how I am going to participate at any given time. However, I participate by being a friendly individual who wishes to share a good time with others.

Music, Movies, and Books

--Books
I read all kinds of books from Physics to Comics. Genres I gravitate to are Sci-Fi and Fantasy when it comes to fiction. Most non-fiction for me is to learn something or about some historical event.

--Music
I listen to way to much music to say I favor anything specific. I have a long standing love for the Goo Goo Dolls however :P.

--Movies
I can't say I'm a movie buff but I watch my fair share of them. I love Amazing Grace, Ghost in the Shell (Anime), Pirates of the Caribbean, and Serenity

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As of 7/16/2016, I've completed my first ever Tandem Skydive. What an experience that was. My heart beats faster every time I think about it. I loved every second of it and I will likely hold onto this memory for the rest of my life. For anyone who wants to try it, I heartily recommend it to at least do it once. For me, as soon as I landed on the ground I wanted to hop on the next plane up to go again. Cheers to all of you that have taken a chance to skydive.
