ABOUT ME
hmm, well i haven't updated this in a while so it seems like i probably should. i recently finished a master's in film here in san francisco and now work making dvds of people's old family super8 films. what this means, essentially, is that i spend my days ensconced in 60s and 70s domestic america. i assure you it sounds more interesting than it actually is (except occasionally when we accidentally get grandpa's old stag film, those are the fun days). i am in a band (two actually) that is starting to do well (at least i hope) and i will now use this time for shameless self-promotion: http://www.myspace.com/vitiligoband. i also write for a music magazine which occupies much of my free time. that about covers that. otherwise, i'm originally from outer space but no one ever believes me. i rarely stand still. i live a very fast life filled, with interesting activities. oh and i'm 19 feet tall.
PHILOSOPHY
why do i live my life? well i live it because i was born, and why not live it. my personal philosophy is (something hopefully not to cliche here) be independent(oh but it is), and cause a ruckus.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
generally great experiences that in the end lead to much drunken debauchery.
Interests
anything that i'm interested in eh (how can i describe myself best in text to people on the internet)? i'm interested in people. we're all kind of strange. so i guess i enjoy meeting people going to new places, playing music, or working on any of my various odd little projects. i'm interested in the world, it's halfway decent.
