I'm lay back, I was born in Costa Rica and moved to US in 2001, I love eating healthy and exercising, I'm very social

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all over the world, cultures, experiences, languages, making new friends and connections.

Interests

I love to read interesting books specially the ones that teach me something, love to watch movies, love music, I love to have smart and meaningful conversations when the circumstances are appropriate but also like to be human and talk about anything without being under the microscope lol, I love to travel and won't stop until I have travel the world. I absolutely love YouTube, I love to swim and do crossfit and go to the beach when I can... Idk how much fun all this stuff is but I enjoy it.

When it comes to really having fun I love to meet people, bar hoping with friends ( not getting trashed but enjoying the ambience, music and the company), I really enjoy hanging out at my place or someone else's place and play games, watch a movie, listen to music, maybe some drinks or just do whatever makes the moment enjoyable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Awakening

Teach, Learn, Share

"We are where we are because that is exactly where we really want or feel we deserve to be- whether we'll admit that or not....
You are in the driver's seat.
You see, the very law that gives us success is a double-edged sword. We must control our thinking. The same rule that can lead people to lives of success, wealth, happiness, and all the things they ever dreamed of for themselves and their family.
That very same law can lead them into the gutter.
It's all in how it is used: for success... or for failure.
This is The Strangest Secret in the world."

Earl Nightingale

Summmerians: pioneers of modern time keeping and and invention of Christian faith and all Abrahamic religions.

The use of 60 began with the Sumerians who used different number systems.
While you and I write numbers using base 10, or “decimal” this civilization used base 12 ("duodecimal") and base 60 ("sexigesimal"). It is not known exactly why they chose these systems, but there are a few theories:
* Many ancient cultures used the three segments of each finger to count to 12 on one hand, writes Georges Ifrah in his book, “The Universal History of Numbers” (Wiley, 2000; translated by David Bello). It is hypothesized 60 arose from using five fingers of one hand with the twelve segments of the other.

* Fewer fractions have repeating decimals (1/3 = 0.333…) when written in sexagesimal. This is particularly important because the Sumerians had no notion of repeating-digit fractions. In “An Introduction to the History of Algebra” (American Mathematical Society, 2009), author Jacques Sesiano describes a tablet that reads, “I don’t know the inverse of 7/6.”

* Twelve was an important number to the Sumerians [including the jews which used to be known as the Hebrews which can be traced back to the Sumerian civilization through their Abrahamic religion] and later to the Egyptians. For example, it was the number of lunar cycles in a year and the number of constellations of the Zodiac. Day and night were each divided into 12 periods, and the 24-hour day was born.

[the 12 tribes of Israel, 12 disciples, 12,000 chosen ones from the 12 tribes of Israel = 144,000 (Rev. 7:4-8), twelve legions of angels (Mat 26:53), 12 brothers of Joseph, 12 judges of Israel, 12 great patriarchs, 12 O.T. Prophets, 12 kings of Israel, 12 princes of Israel, Jesus in temple at 12, among several other]

The Babylonians [a Sumerian city] invented the degree and defined a circle as having 360 degrees. There are a couple of theories as to why they chose 360:

•The Babylonians understood a year as having close to 360 days; hence the sun "moves" along the ecliptic approximately 1 degree per day. [the Babylonians understood the Earth as being circular as portrayed on Isa 40:22 (The book is identified by a superstition tion as the works of the 8th-century BCE prophet Isaiah ben Amoz, but there is ample evidence that much of it was composed during the Babylonian captivity around 600 BCE and later.), also Joshuah reflects the believe that the sun "moves" along the ecliptic just like the Babylonians did Jos 10:13]

Off to Greece and Rome
The conquests of Alexander the Great between 335 and 324 B.C. helped spread Babylonian astronomy to Greece and India. Although the Greeks had their own numerals in base 10, Babylonian star catalogs created such a strong association between astronomy and the sexigesimal system that Greek (and later Roman) scholars kept using it. This association soon bled into navigation and trigonometry.
