About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn and play.

ABOUT ME

I am experimenting with perpetual motion. I think that it keeps my mind awake and my body healthy. I believe that an ever-changing external environment is necessary for an ever-changing internal environment. I seek knowledge second only to wisdom, and refuse to allow my potential energy to be trapped and channeled by consumer capitalism unnecessarily. I'm fairly healthy, love sci-fi books and good films of all types. Torrents are awesome. I'm very introverted, and love to dance to electronic music.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that I can teach myself better than the current educational systems for a fraction of the price. I'm almost entirely atheistic, but interested in Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and Tibetan Buddhism for their meditative teachings. I am very introverted, but try to love others both abstractly and concretely. I believe life is a game which has no beginning or end, and only demands that we show up and try our hardest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have enough money to go out and do things, but I'd be glad to sit and chat or anything else you can think of. I have a bunch of green tea that we can make!
