PHILOSOPHY

Moderation is for monks - forgot the author who wrote this, but its worked for me since I was thirteen.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Interests

Their names are legion - bad puns are in the top ten. Pounding metal, this is not a music reference. Music.
Books. Old crap - sometimes called antiques. Shiny crap. Inappropriate comments, moments and places. The desire for a t-shirt that say's "I Will Not Fix Your Computer".

And a twist on Milton - "Times are not good here. The city is crumbling into ashes. It has been buried under taxes and frauds and maladministraions so that it has become a study for archaeologists . ..but it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio."
- Lafcadio Hearn (aka Koizumi Yakumo)
from Inventing New Orleans
