What would you do today if you knew the world would end tomorrow?

ABOUT ME
Out of the box thinker, defender of the weak, and champion of the underdog.

PHILOSOPHY
Sanity is for the weak!

"So often in time it happens, we all live our life in chains, and we never even know we have the key." - The Eagles

"Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you!" - Rocky Balboa

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain." -€œ Jim Morrison

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people, exchanging stories, and generally talking about life. I am very open minded, adventurous, care about the world and humanity and general.

Teach, Learn, Share

Spirituality, philosophy, and a way of life. I am a motivational speaker and a marketing consultant. If you need any help regarding your life or business, I'm your man.
During my travels I have dabbled a bit in body, mind and soul cleansing techniques from different parts of the world and have come up with something of my own with varying results. Guess I just need more practice to really master it :)
