CURRENT MISSION

A thumb, a backpack and a camera. Taking the world in by land, sea, and air!

ABOUT ME

Often found in dive bars or coffeeshops inspiring ridiculous or writing and thinking, I enjoy anything that makes me think or gets me moving. I've converted four vans now and help other folks do the same.

PHILOSOPHY

As long as you're happy and not hurting others, you're fine by me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Why read about food when you can drool over it here: www.flickr.com/photos/jcboon/sets/72157641942372334

A mish-mash of favorite media: PiHKAL, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Paris Review, Hermitude, Keys n Krates, Torpedo Boyz, AC/DC, Queensrÿche, Skeewiff, Tycho, The Economist, Coda Conduct, Paces, Lapham's Quarterly, Mitch Murder

Haven't watched TV in years, can't find the time or outlet sometimes since the outdoors is often short electricity :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cooked a meal for my entire hostel -- The hostel offers food, board, and a beer for anyone up for the challenge. It was awesome. See my photos for the menu :)

Teach, Learn, Share

-Computer repair, I'm handy with fixing just about any electronic item. Ask and ye shall receive.
-Cooking and bartending, I'm a mean cook in the kitchen and dandy behind the bar. A recipe for one of my latest creations:

"A Little Spot of Lemon"
1.5 oz Hendricks gin
.5 oz St Germain
.5 lemon, juiced
1 oz grapefruit juice
Dash of Boston Bittahs or grapefruit bitters
Add all of the ingredients including the juiced lemon rind and shake with ice until chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a grapefruit zest.

Looking for:
Esperantists Mi estas malbona.
New problems to think about, I enjoy a challenge and if I can't defeat it the experience makes me all the wiser.
