About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Updating my couchsurfing account

Changing the world and sustainable autonomous infrastructure

ABOUT ME

2019- When you have dreams and the world hits back, you got to keep trying. I still write alot. I started my own zine distro lately. I am starting a permaculture park with my friends. Punk, DIY, and I have been organizing shows in our basement. I try and do my part to build community and to get people together and start talking about what is going on. Traveling is a great way to do that and so can couchsurfing. Also, traveling gives me new material for poems. :)

2014- I like to think alot. I think about life, society, love, me,ect. Recently, I've been thinking about materialism in modern society and the importance of doing what you love. Many people today get too caught up in their "stuff", they loose sight of what they really want to do. Well, I want to travel and be a writer. So I'm going to spend less, save more, and write more so I can go to the places i want to go and become the person I want to be.

PHILOSOPHY

2019-
"Damn." - Kendrick Lamar

2014-
" To each his own." - Cicero
" The examined life is not worth living." - Socrates
“When you read Marx (or Jesus) this way, you come to see that real wealth is not material wealth and real poverty is not just the lack of food, shelter, and clothing. Real poverty is the belief that the purpose of life is acquiring wealth and owning things. Real wealth is not the possession of property but the recognition that our deepest need, as human beings, is to keep developing our natural and acquired powers to relate to other human beings.”
― Grace Lee Boggs

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2019- I made a zine and and put it on etsy. Some random person bought it and I wrote them a letter. They wrote back and what they wrote almost made me cry. I made someone feel less lonely in this isolated, gray world.

2014- It was dusk. While driving in my car, on the way to my best friend Adrian's house, I played one of my favorite songs on my car stereo. As I am singing along, I begin to laugh and smile uncontrollably, like a madman. Sometimes life can be so beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anarchy, socialism, and zines, i'm open to talking to anybody :)
