About Me

I started typing interests here, then saw there was a section for it....*facepalm*

"Come what may and love it" = Top Mantra

Can literally sleep wherever as long as it can support my 6'4" 190lb carcass. No sleepwalking or snoring, however, I can spin a wicked cool tale when sleeping.

I still have part of my daughter's dehydrated umbilical cord, so that's a thing. You can judge what that means. X'D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Going to be in transition for work and moving from Utah to Ohio

Interests

Conlanging - currently 4 languages in the works, but need like 28 language families
Worldbuilding - Kunrin “To weave what doesn’t move is true strength.”
Any Sport - ball, tennis, fencing, ultimate, literally anything
Culture - have lived in Wyoming, Montana, New Jersey, Chile, Utah, Korea, Puerto Rico, and Ohio bound Language (big "L" and little "l") - Spanish, Japanese, Thai, Norwegian, German, Da'She, Thurnir, Arhaeos, Wregg, Setorija, Chemehuevi, lots to come
Family - wife, daughter, 5 siblings, wonderful parents and heritage
Boardgames - All the games. Strategy is best
Metal - Let's talk, and compose, and jam

Music, Movies, and Books

Music genres: Metalcore, Djent, Deathcore, Post-hardcore, Acoustic... anything I guess EXCEPT COUNTRY (apparently my time spent in true cowboy land has led me to reject that part of my heritage)

Movies: Castaway on the Moon, A Knight's Tale, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Matrix, Heavyweights, Galaxy Quest, basically all the things but Horror really (I'll choose comedy that is such on purpose)

Books: Anything Malcolm Gladwell or Adam Grant, From the Kingdom of Memory, Seventh Tower, Forgotten Realms, Hellgate London, BoM... too many to list, but there's a good sample I suppose

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned to blow bubbles with my tongue that can fly off and amuse little kids.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Basic guitar/music theory, Language analysis, Design skills, random contracting shtuff

Learn: Yes

Share: Everything? You can wear any of my clothes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My views on politics, the meaning of life, and a solid tahini sauce
