CURRENT MISSION

Blow my mind like a nuclear hot air baloon/ Obtain and foster greatness.

ABOUT ME

In general, I'm new to couchsurfing, and eager to see how this all works. I've heard about it on a few flights, so I figured I'd give it a go. My apologies for the quickness in generating this profile-I'm doing this in Ireland in a one hour Library Internet slot.

Ok. All you pragmatists, read this, part one. All you artists, read Part 2.(disclaimer added after writing pt. 2)

Part 1.
I'm an eighteen year old male with good mental and physical capacity. Will work for food. Seeking new experiences before heading off to college. I enjoy anything intellectual or athletic, yet I will not boast that I am extraordinary in either field. My ambition is to improve upon my weaknesses, and embolden my strengths.

Part 2.
I'm a weirdo, but not a misfit. The most popular not-popular kid. The most idiotic smart-kid. The most over-calculated rebel. The most introverted extrovert. The most pragmatic poet, the welding artist, the cerebral singer, the confidently confused, the despicable yet beloved, the judgmental yet empathetic to the point of total paralysis... again... what do you want to know?

I'm a kid, definitely at heart. I love to learn. I am very analytical and perceptive. I love to act. I believe that it takes a village to raise a child. I am an Obama supporter who loves Hillary Clinton, and harbors incredible respect for John McCain. I believe in aliens... sorta. I view the mind as this three dimensional web-like forest of connections and networks that expand and sophisticate with stimulation... it's the most circuitous circuit. I'm discursive as anyone with ADD, yet I've never been diagnosed.

Wow. That's a little to deep, neh?

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life... because life is the most beautiful thing... and anyone with any inkling of what beauty is... I ramble... well... feelings? yes. Thoughts? What is a "thought"-the firing of neurons? the branching of dendrites? as far as we may speculate, again, yes...
Be more specific if you wish for an exact answer!
