ABOUT ME

Hey there, friend.

I'm inquisitive and irreverent. I prefer spectrums to binaries. Everything is constantly changing; best to accept it. Intimacy and vulnerability are absolute necessaries for me and pain is nothing more than an opportunity for growth, albeit a hard one. Communication is something I strive for, as is improving my emotional honesty daily. There is strength in forgiveness. The moment you forgive, you're free. Those things aside, I'm a lovable smart-ass who's actually a pretty decent guy deep down...

Plus I'm a lot of fucking fun.

PHILOSOPHY

Why avoid taking risks just to make it safely to death?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted for years and am finally surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every experience I've had through CouchSurfing has been absolutely excellent.One of my favorite experience was taking an impromptu weekday jaunt to the desert with two surfers for a last minute bondfire full of laughs and introspective experiences. Tye, one of the surfers who accompanied me, wrote a phenomenal blog entry about it here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I crowd surfed to The Final Countdown, it was almost as good as the time I found ten dollars in a pair of pants I bought from Good Will.

Teach, Learn, Share

While I'm completely open to learning anything new I've always had a desire to learn how to knit. It's not the manliest of skills, I'll admit, but that's okay.I have a decent grasp for the bascis of photography and cinematography and though I'm no where near professional level it still brings me the most enjoyment in my life.
