About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make a graphic novel.

ABOUT ME

People always say I look young for my age, to which I always reply "Thank you."

PHILOSOPHY

When I was younger, I felt a connection to Roger Rabbit when he said, "My whole purpose in life is to maaake, peeeeopllllle, laugh!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm always interested in telling and listening to a good story, hopefully while gaining new perspectives on old ideas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One time I karaoke'd my way to a couch for the night. I already had a room at a hostel, but I wasn't sure how strict the curfew was. At the bar, my song finally came on, just as it was getting too late to go back, so as a precaution, I prefaced it by saying that it was my audition for a place to stay. There was a group of college-age kids that I thought would be receptive, and after my rendition of Bowie's "Young Americans," sure enough, they offered me a place to sleep and we've been friends ever since.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I love good movies. And sometimes I love bad movies. Sometimes they're so bad, they're good. The same goes for music and books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first plane I ever got into, I jumped out of (skydiving).

Teach, Learn, Share

Aside from being able to draw-on-command, I definitely think I fall under the "esoteric knowledge" category.
