Overeducated, under-discipled (no N in that, though my 'disciplined'-ness a little underdeveloped too...) :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When nomadic and away from my Shire of family and my best friends, I'm socially sustained by even the briefest flare-up friendship and quick camaraderie shared with brand-new-buds along the trail.

Right now I'm also seeking some older wise guides in carpentry, music/Art, poetry and theatre/Art. ARCHERY.

Interests

acting, visual art/paint & installation, yoga/movement, music perf and comp, dance, drums, pot, church. I love people who love stuff and do that stuff; I love being around good teachers more than anything; around great students just as much. I'm obsessed with understanding Truth, Beauty, and objective reality.

I'm inspired when I make things. When I was three I first self-described "My Interests" section in my baby book: "My lil' brother Jerrod likes playin' with balls, and I like prrrojects!"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

local singers/instrumentalists in the mood to record some aux tracks I have in mind for the music album I'm recording in my mobile Ranger soundroom

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually sleep in the back of my pickup when on the road; I use CSing pretty solely for local friendships and/or the occasional shower/toke/jog.

I like doing my friends' chores, watch in their kid when the sitter cancels, remodeling their kitchens... But I don't think CSing is suppose to include the "but what can you do for me?" attitude that some members seem to have in their profiles. I love to give, not so much to pay.
