CURRENT MISSION

I met a bunch of Couchsurfers awhile back on a trip to Malaysia. I'm not sure why it took me so long to create an account, but better late than never, I reckon. after 20+ years in Los Angeles, I've got a sense of what I think is cool, and am happy to share

ABOUT ME

I noticed my friends often say to me, (after a night of imbibing), "I'm sooo hungover...I NEVER drink like that anymore"

that and, "why do you paint your toenails?"

PHILOSOPHY

perfection is for quitters
