About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live my life to the fullest while I can, to grow and be inspired, and to hopefully inspire those I meet!!!

ABOUT ME

so I'm an ex-hitcher, taking a break from the simple lif, i live in RED BLUFF and have so much love for it. I miss the road so having travelers stay with me is like a vacation from the mundane. I have hitched up and down cali more times than I could count, but that's probably because I love music, people and shitty pple and shitty musical pple... just kiddin, I love shitty music it's all I play!
I try to find the best out of the hands we have been dealt and stumble as much as anyone, but I believe in hope, because otherwise what do we got? Problems and now fix?!
So I farted around with the army till I woke up to what I was becoming, and opted out. I was able to see Guam and some pretty interesting places in the states, and met some interesting pple.

I dunno, please get a hold of me and ask me anything, I'm an open book!

PHILOSOPHY

all we are is dust in the wind.......oh you said PERSONAL philosophy, sory. uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh what he said

no, j/k.
I think that "nice" is not used enough as a reason to "do".
as in 'ima gonna do this cuz it's nice.'
i dunno you got reasons to do stuff, (anystuff) I say, so.....why not do more nice, and then the world will become nice......er.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

happily? Musically? Jovially? Quietly if needed. when able I cook, maybe not very good but I do.. when I can't I will watch the personal chef i hire do the work..... no, just foolin ya.... or am I?

I am mobile
I can annoy you with bad guitar-ing and worser english!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I live to love couches. uh.... I lived on couches all throughout college, all two months of it, in sac. but I stayed on the couch because it was comfy and the pot dwindled ever so slowly!! I have made it possible for the original roommates that were about to kill each other, able to live in peace on account of my being a good...okay, great referee...also I cook and clean and bathe. I also play a bit of guitar, I also like the word 'also'.

Interests

WOW, outdoorsy stuff, indoorsy stuff, stuff with tools, things that rock, objects that roll, ya know all of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

oh man I gotta come back to this one, how do you pick, or better yet, how do you deal with all this typing, lol.

Ok, I have seen California Condors less than 10 ft. away, a mated pair loving on each other, with seemingly no fear of me. I have seen the northern lights shining it's mysticism down for me to tear up to. I have seen those, with nothing, give more than is healthy to give; to strangers out of love.... I guess you could say I have witnessed our saving graces first hand, and felt them.
