CURRENT MISSION

Save the world as only a celluloid super hero could.

ABOUT ME

I completely opposed to anything the current US government has done or tried to do. Bush is worthless and I'm disappointed (understatement) that people in the US would let him have a second term. Stupid fear campaigns.

I was raised simply and continue to pursue a simply complicated existance and the home that deserves such a title.

Here's my spiel from:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=39896489

I love icecream. I'll eat anything that tastes good and that I'm not boycotting; especially if it's bad for me
I've tested my limits thoroughly and broken them, and myself, often. A good scar/cast is just a good lesson in your abilities. I prefer to pull privet hedge out of my yard to working out at the gym. I prefer working out in the gym/wasting my energy to wasting life in front of tv. If I'm not busy, I'm bored. A good, relaxing movie with friends or while eating is a must sometimes.

I'm working on being more: skilled, knowledgable, humble and fun. I'll blog you when I'm done improving myself/laughing (should take a lifetime or ten)
I'm as carefree as possible, but try to plan for the future I want for myself and others.

PHILOSOPHY

Live simply so that others may simply live.

I feel America has much to learn about the simple life and the freedom that goes with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm hosting slews of people in Glasgow and repaid my CS deficit in a week! (Ich sleffe vielen, trinke nichts und moeschte mehr Sofas spaeter zusurfen. Il est facile, j'habite le monde est veux faire tout le chose mieux pour la vie.)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Milan was great! My solo surf there won me two new buddies and as many free nights on a pull out couch! I got an amazing intro to Glasgow with 5 nights on a bed! CS ist vull bei Wunderbar Leute!

Interests

Working out (feels good), eating (feels great), sleeping (better than sex), sex (stupid hormones), life (all forms), helping those in need (if I was altruistic, this would be the first thing), hacky sac, Dance Dance revolution (good beats and workout, but am boycotting the purchase of one of my own), freedom (social, economic, world-wide, etc), martial arts (for the thrill, dark allys and self-confidence), music, movies, new places, new faces, never-ending fun and happiness.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
Good vocalists, Garbage (Shirley Manson rocks), Soundgarden, Marilyn Manson, All DDR tracks, techno, instrumentals, death metal, R&B, pop, rap (Busta Rhymes, Ludacris), hip-hop, only country by female vocalists that can qualify as pop and: Jewel, JLo (puts me to sleep), The Cranberries, NIN, some metallica, Moby, Massive Attack, ACE OF BASE, Seal, Madonna, Pantera, Crystal Method, Prodigy, Beethoven (fur elise +), Radiohead, Vanilla Ice (kidding), David Rovics, Lenny Kravitz, Guns&Roses, Judy Gorman (my newest singer/songwriter buddy)

I haven't bought a cd in a while, so my musical tastes haven't evolved much. I can't download, either. The quality of these groups are gauged with three questions: Is it a pleasing composition? Can you dance to it? Are the lyrics (if any) progressive or oppressive?

Movies Any film that can evoke emotion in me is a good one. Plots are very important, but enough technical, martial arts moves can almost make up for no real plot. Natural disasters/destructive special effects get extra points. Some of my favorites are: Fight club, Kung Fu Hustle, Party Monster, Saving Grace, Harold &; Maude, Aladdin, new Romeo and Juliet, Death to Smoochy, The Spook who Sat by the Door, Finding Nemo, Ice Age, American Beauty, Fist of Legend, Legend of the Drunken Master, Eyes Wide Shut, A Clockwork Orange (pisses me off), Return of Cooler, Lord of the Rings, The Patriot, Armaggedon, Independence Day, Schiendler's List, The Miami Model, The Life of David Gale, Constant Gardener, The 4th World War, Shawshank Redemption, Aliens, Saving Private Ryan and Thelma and Louise.
Television Ahh, the idiot box. I like the nature shows (surprise) and despise every reality show/sitcom/soap/commercial in existence to some degree. Anything gets extra points for having Robin Williams, Samuel L. Jackson, Edward Norton or Eddie Murphy in it. Family guy is a must. The Boondocks is growing on me. Berman and Berman on discovery health channel is essential for every straight man to watch. The history channel has gotten better, too. The Simpsons/Beavis&;Butthead was edgy 10+ years ago, but it's bourgeois compared to The Family Guy.

Books Grade School: Tuck Everlasting, Mrs. Frisbee and the Rats of Nimph, and Where the Red Fern Grows. Growd up reedin: The Tenth Insight, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, The Better World Handbook, First World HAHAHA: The Zapatista Challenge, Freakanomics, IT, The Stand, other Stephen King books, Anne Rice's vampires novels, The Romeo Error and other mind-tweaking, philosophy books...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

8 Scuba dives in Key Largo was an incredible trip. I did it with UTC from Chattanooga for under $500 US total! J'ai vu beacoupe du genial chose a mon vie. La vie est belle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got more to teach than anyone could learn in a few years. I may become a professor one of these days....I need to get some practical work experience with renewables first, though.
