CURRENT MISSION

Following in the footsteps of Gary Busey

ABOUT ME

When I was a child I wanted to be an explorer. My teacher politely informed me that the world had been mapped out and explored fully; so that was a dying career field.

Suffering from crushed dream syndrome, it took me ten years to fully recuperate and realize that people are what has not been fully explored. I am all about meeting new people, finding new experiences, and getting into dangerous situations. My passion for these things is only overshadowed by my extreme dislike for exclamation points.

Oh yes, and if you despise Comic Sans MS, we will get along just perfectly.

PHILOSOPHY

Why do people get so worked up over such small things in life?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd absolutely LOVE to host, but I'm moving in a few weeks and living at my parents in a suburb outside of the city. Once I get out west, looking to help improve the community and establish a few friends from faraway places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't had any CS experiences via the site, but the best time was spent with a family friend up in New York State. They lived a half hour outside of the city, and every morning I'd be greeted by a slice of brie, fresh baked bread and fruit on a hand carved table. If my life ended at that moment, I would have been 100% satisfied.

Interests

On the neverending quest to add more and more interests in my life. I love when people are extremely passionate and knowledgeable about one obscure subject.

This section will turn into things I am not interested in, as that seems like it would be more concise:
Flying kites [actually I have a horrible fear of this]

• pub crawls
• flying
• trivia
• sports
• bowling
• teaching
• history
• parks

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The Royal Tenenbaums, Jurassic Park, Monsters Inc., Toy Story 3

Music: Elliott Smith, Vampire Weekend, Animal Collective, Arcade Fire

Books: Candide by Voltaire

I don't want a large block of text taking up this space, so if you're interested message me and I'll get that to you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once picked up a 7-10 split in bowling in the final frame; only to throw a gutter ball immediately afterwards. Win some, you lose some.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's see; I have an extra ordinary amount of useless knowledge flopping about in my brain. This makes me an asset in any sort of pub trivia; pair me up with a sports minded person and our team would be unstoppable.

Additionally I have a large amount of useless knowledge about roller coasters, amusement parks, rides, history, etc.

I'm a techie, I take things apart for the sake of exploration and trying to finagle them back together in a (mostly) working state.
