CURRENT MISSION

To Live, Love & most importantly.... Laugh! :)

ABOUT ME

I love a good time and new experiences. Very giving in nature. Consider myself somewhat of a nerd. I have a huge appreciation for music and am bringing my ipod loaded with over 50k songs if you are interested in anything and have some extra harddrive space. My tastes span over many genres, jazz, post rock, classic rock, classical, indie rock, some metal, and pretty much anything that is good in any genre. I'm also streaming everything (over 100k songs) and would love to hook you up. I've been called the gentle giant due to my height (6'4"). Not sure what else to say. If you have any questions at all, just ask!

(I may be new to couch surfing but I have had many roomates and I was always the clean one of the bunch. I am very respectful and love to have a good time. Hope to see you soon!)

PHILOSOPHY

"Why do you live your life" That is deep! I like it! Going all the way down to the root, why are we here. I don't know, but whatever put us (meaning the universe) here obviously has compassion and a sense of humor. We can feel and interact in this small timeframe we have. Instead of asking why, I say what can we do with this true blessing? Live it up to it's true potential. Live your life in the best way possible. Bringing joy to other peoples life and in turn bringing joy into your own. Smile. Enjoy yourself. Make connections. Because before you know it, it will be too late. At the end of my life I want to look back with as many fond memories and know that I made this world a better place. So, back to the root question I see below this box, why do you live your life. I say: Simply to truly live it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving was awesome, but overall, I would have to say that snorkeling in Hawaii for a week was some of the most fun I have ever had. There is so much beauty in those waters. It's like swimming in an aquarium!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a huge appreciation for music and art. (even though I am not that great in either) I can talk music for hours and love to talk about current world events. I think that deep conversation about everything form art to world events, to events that happened next door, to where we came from, to culture as a whole, to where we are going individually and as a race as a whole can be some of the most enlightening times of our lives.
