About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Music, Physics, Mayhem

ABOUT ME

Playing/writing music, learning languages or new instruments, throwing disc golf, crosswords, puzzles, et al... If it's sufficiently geeky, I'm probably into it.
I'm looking forward to the opportunity to host and/or to crash your couch.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you don't like my fire, then don't come around."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Fervently. (I don't really know what this question is asking)
I participate by opening my couch to the masses and eventually making use of yours.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a great time crashing in New Orleans over Mardi Gras. My host was absolutely wonderful - cheery, warm, welcoming, and helpful in navigating the insanity that is MG.

Interests

Playing music, learning/seeing/hearing new instruments, disc golf, languages, (of course,) traveling, board/card games, et al.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Generally non-discriminating. I appreciate the wonderfully terrible movies just as much as I do the simply great movies. That being said: Boondock Saints & Green Street Hooligans would be pretty high on the list.
Music: Dave Matthews, Dispatch, Ben Harper, Ben Folds, Balkan Beat Box, Ugly Duckling, Blackalicious, Ingrid Michaelson, and several that I don't have time or energy to list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've thusfar led a generally unimpressive life. It's the people in my life that have made it spectacular.

Teach, Learn, Share

Could teach: guitar, piano, mandolin, banjo, accordion or Arabic.
Would like to learn: Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, any instrument, anything you have to offer.
