About Me

I really dont like typing this things. I just dont know what to say. I feel like I should make it all fluffy and pretty and make myself look like the best person ever but that just really isnt who I am. I have flaw like everyone else. Overall, Im pretty average. I live on earth, I hope I live long enough to live on Mars but for now my address has to stay on this planet. I like to drink coffee with a lot of creamer in it. I am also a "tech guy," which my family uses to the fullest degree possible. I am also in to photography, it honestly is one of the few things I have ever done that I really enjoy doing. Capturing a moment in time that I think looks nice is very enjoyable.

I come from a pretty large family, 5 siblings the youngest two are 20 years younger than me. I have 11 Aunt and Uncles and all of them have at least 1 kid. Its pretty crazy, I wish we still did family reunions like we use to.

I would say my biggest passion tho are movies and television, I love film making . I can spend countless hours watching informational videos on the process and I love just sitting down and watching a movie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im couchsurfing to meet new people and talk to people I otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to meet. It also helps with travel cost which makes traveling possible for me.

Interests

I always wanted to get in to photography and film making so in march of 2016 I bought a DSLR, I fell in love with photography and I really like doing it, sadly I had to sell for a little extra money to go to Europe. I bought a cheaper mirrorless that Im using until I can get a new one. I never got a chance to do anything with in film making wise. I hope to soon tho.

I just really love movies, I love how they are made and I really love how they are directed, cinematography can be amazing and I love movies that do a great job in that regard.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of random music but most of what I listen to is rap. I grew up listing to Tupac and Eminem. I currently love listing to Aesop Rock (Not Rocky), His lyrics are a work of art, and they way he cane use words to paint a picture in your head probably makes him the best in the business in doing that. Im a fan of Misterwives and Grimes as well. Both are fantastic acts.

Movies are a hard one. Kubrick is fantastic, I love 2001, The Shining and Clockwork. Kevin Smith is probably my favorite Director, I love his movies, his most recent work hasnt been very good tho. Mallrats is probably his best movie but they are all great.

Now I mentioned Cinematography and the winner in that for me is "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" my god it is a work of art, such and amazing movie.

As for books, sadly I dont read as much as I would like to, I really enjoyed Misery tho and the parts of A Song of Ice and Fire I have read are also enjoyable.
