About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be born and live as variously as possible

PHILOSOPHY

"not because of victories / i sing, / having none, / but for the common sunshine, / the breeze, / the largess of the spring.

not for victory / but for the day's work done / as well as i was able; / not for a seat upon the dais / but at the common table."

-charles reznikoff, "te deum"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i hope to garner a karma of good will and hospitality to all those traveling through williamsburg to hold up to the hands of humanity in exchange for future international hospitality in kind.

Interests

"america" as concept and praxis, the limits of cosmopolitanism, paranormality, short-circuiting philosophies, approaching transcendental experience through music, practical abstraction in art, nostalgia for long-lost parties, friendship as a way of life
