About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn something about everything while maintaining a sense of humor about it

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty accomplished bullshitter of all disciplines, and a jack-of-all trades in some respects. Not really an expert on anything, nor am I particularly great at any activity, though I surround myself with people who are.

I am also very much a late-night/nightlife person, probably explaining my raccoon-like features. Sleep is for chumps.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay open-minded, be flexible, always do what seems like it will bring the greatest chance for happiness based on careful reasoning and prior experience.

Pragmatism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the project... but I like to take couchsurfers who come here out for drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a few random folks couchsurfing in Korea, tried to show them a good time.

Interests

music, technology, politics/law, bars, darts, craft brews, walking around metropolitan areas, embarrassingly:authenticity, contradictorily:irony.

musicians are highly welcome, i have a recording set-up at my place with a korg synthesizer, electric guitar, and an acoustic. kick out the jams baby.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm currently obsessed with the 1970s. Suicide, Talking Heads, Stevie Wonder, Yes, Bowie, Costello, Television... I'm a complete sucker for it. That goes for movies too: Dog Day Afternoon, The Sting, etc.

I'm a non-fiction guy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A bit presumptuous to say I've really done anything amazing... but, this was a great time:
