CURRENT MISSION

The Live Life Mission Objective '06

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveling tattoo artist, (with no tattoos of my own). Some examples of my work can be seen here: http://tinyurl.com/poulpkx. I'm also an animator, (I've worked on a cartoon called "Axe Cop" that you can find on hulu. http://www.hulu.com/axe-cop), writer/actor/director of my OWN tv shows, (Currently showing the pilot for my scripted comedy "Shark Monster" https://vimeo.com/117765666 , and animating a trailer for my cartoon idea, "The Leftover Squad", as well as writing a script for my live action concept, "The Space Vikings Vs. Dracula and the Moon Men"). I'm also working on a video game called "Metallicatastrophy" and a comic called "Rock Monsters". So... I guess what I'm saying is I like to create.

As for acting; aside from my show, I've played small parts in a few things here and there. My imdb is http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5643979/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

I enjoy volunteer work. I've worked at a shelter that taught homeless people to read, at CoachArt that taught art to chronically ill children and at the Kitty Bungalow School for Wayward Cats, (that's why so many of my photos involve my playing with kittens.... well... that and I love animals.)

Haha. And yes, I'm a gigantic nerd. I also enjoy power lifting and going to the gym, hiking, and marveling at new places. Just look for me, I'll be the guy who's looking around at everything with a huge grin on his face, telling you how amazing everything is because, like most everyone else on this site, I genuinely enjoy traveling and seeing new places as well as learning about the history and cultures of a people. I like to think that I've seen alot, experienced some of what many people will never have the chance to, but that just makes me yearn to see more.

PHILOSOPHY

As opposed to those who live life like each day is their last, I prefer to live life like each day is my first. No routines, no patterns; a fresh outlook as if you're seeing everything for the first time. As for religion; I tell people I subscribe to the Tao of Bill and Ted: "Be excellent to each other and party on, dudes!"

So, that's me in a nutshell. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I'm currently traveling and won't be accepting guests until after the new year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and hearing their stories. Being a writer, people are always a source of inspiration to me. I marvel at, not only the stories they tell, but their reasons for telling them. I think you can tell a lot about a person by asking them what the best compliment they think they've ever been paid is.
