ABOUT ME

i feel like i am a very intelligent individual that has a strong passion for what he believes in. I am borderline eccentric in my sense of humor, but i assure you it is wittily funny! I graduated High School 2005 5th in my class with honors behind my twin sister who was validictorian!! She is my best frined; however she goes to school on the east coast & miss her everyday :( That's one reason this website appealed to me so much for reasons of traveling with my sister for cheap so i can see her more often! for she has gotten great academic travel opportunity & has seen most of the world already. I'm trying to be more cultured & drop some popular stigmas such as only a particular ethnicity live in a certain country & so forth.
I am finishing up my bachelors in nutrition & associates in physical training & i love to eat healthy but delicious food! since i have lived in AZ for only a yr. i could only attend school part-time for all of 06 & 07'
before i moved here in Jan. 08, i lived in southern MN, bout 30 mins. south of minneapolis! its a beautiful place but not for me weather-wise. I do know couch-surfers in that state & region if you have any ?'s or interests feel free to message or email me! or you can find me on facebook or myspace using my Email address (jongolf786@yahoo.com or jonathanpaulbauer@yahoo.com) i am fun to hang out with , never a dull time, & like to go out & socially drink & or have a great time (without drinking)& DD for my friends! I generally love life & think i am a driven & happy individual with my purpose & path I'm going in my life! I don't have a plethora of friend's down her so I'm looking to meet cool people in this area as well as around the world to become friends with. Also i would eventually like to find a nice girl to date who i care for & cares for me in return :)
i like to flirt / cuddle & watch movies, spend the night dancing with the ladies, make out (obviously) with the object of my affection!

PHILOSOPHY

"fitness is a lifestyle not a goal"
"however debateable, it IS better to have loved & lost that to have never loved @ all"
"love is truly blind"
i wanna meet someone who knows what they want & be passioniate about obtaining their goals!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now i cannot host (overnighter's) until i acquire my condo/townhouse in approx. April or May this Yr. (2008) but can def. show someone a good time around scottsdale, glendale or peoria AZ for i am very familiar with all the hot spots in all these areas! once May rolls around i will have a great opportunity for surfers who stay with me with ALOT of money saving deals for them (you can see all those I'm my couch situation section. I.E. discounted hotel rooms, restaurants, bar price hookups, & discounted to free golf.)
i saw this website on SKYPE (also a great program) & thought it was great way to save money to visit more of the world & visit my twin sister more often!
message me for any ?'s or concerns!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

TALES FROM MY HEAVY PARTY DAYS IN THE PAST:
~I once consumed 8 (1.5) oz. shots of captain morgan in 60 secs on camera. (please do not ever do this) then 6 more in 45 sec. 2 hours later that night.
~I got my ass beat by 3-4 guys while visiting Western Illinois University because of how drunk i was & its the only time i have ever blacked out ever. ( i used to take pride in the absurd amount of alchohol i could drink & still retain all my memories) I woke up in a diff. part of town the next morning & ppl screwed with me all night (allegedly) & i don't remember a single memory from the point i hit the pavement to when i woke up. 6 hours later (& i was conscience the whole time)
OTHER ALCOHOL ABUSING DUMB SHIT & MISTAKES IN MY PAST that make for an entertaining story:
~I did in the past was fighting & ending in a draw against 5 of my friends vs me alone : where they tried to hold me down then threw me over a porch & i lost my shoes along the way then walked 16 miles back home in the middle of the unfamiliar backcountry roads @ 1am. trying to use drunk recall to find my direction home ( becuase all my friends that drove i fought & refused to take a ride from them outta drunken pride and anger)... only to find out several hours later (about 4) that i walked in the wrong direction & slept in a ditch in the country. I was afraid half the time & paranoid the whole time & i walked in the center of a 2 lane interstate. the wildlife sounded scary & i thoguht i was goin to be attacked by a ravish animal.. i did however find a ride @ sunset when someone stopped cuz they thought i was a dead body. imagine seeing that: i had no shoes & i used the morning newspaper outta mailboxes for warmth & shelter from cold & chiggers. keep in mind that i am fatally allergic to grass, weed pollen, dust, trees, pollen, mold ETC.- this is one of my ost famous stories & memories with me & ppl who know me...
~finally, i fell down 2 flights of stairs & hit my occipital bone on a metal heater one time & got 7 stiches that next moring. (i remember the whole thing)
MOST IMPORTANT THING I HAVE DONE FOR SOMEONE ELSE IN MY LIFE:
~In early MAY 08 i saved my good friends life when he was asphyxiating from alcohol poising (& had the courage & quick thought) to rushed him to the hospital with the help of one other person. my friend drove & i held his jaw open by putting my hands down his throat & nose the entire way to the hospital to keep his passageways open only to find out by the ER he would have died minutes before we got him there if we didn't do what we did. (from asphyxiation ∨ a BAC of 5.5 which is above legally dead.) he & his family thank my friend & I each & every day : that he is still alive today.
after that it made me realize the real danger of abusing alcohol & how i could let alcohol run my life & i could make dumb decisions : like the dumb college student stigma i was at the time. So stopped drinking for over a a few months & decided to major in nutrition & take my life more seriously!
I HAVE NO REGRETS BECAUSE I LEARNED ALOT ABOUT MYSELF & LIFELESSONS & am proud i could over-come my demons!

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach someone that they are more worthful than they think & can overcome severe life-altering adversity through sheer determination & will alone! I am very inspiring & have several entertaining life stories with alot of insight & empathy for most all individuals (besides homeless).
I can share my knowledge about fitness & nutrition & answer all the myths or ?'s you may have on this subject. I am not stubborn in my viewpoints & am willing to consider knew ideals in my life if you debate it with me in an intelligent manner! Overall, I'm pretty confident that I am a "good catch" as a guy & one of those " I didn't know there were these type of guys left single in the world" . I have a set of goals & achievements i am working toward & am walking the right direction in life! i'd be happy to meet other people like me!
