ABOUT ME

http://www.ubu.com/film/rose_pressures.html

In general, I have no idea who I am, where I'm going or where I will be answerable when I arrive; so in other words, I'm just like anyone else.

Aside from that, what else can I say. Man is incomplete, so how is it possible to describe ones self knowing this. Instead, I'll simply explain that you can tell a lot about a person by the way they process their film...

1.] R1, 20 minutes, constant agitation
2.] T-56, 5 minutes, constant agitation
3.] Clear, 3 minutes, constant agitation
4.] Rinse, 20 minutes, constant agitation
5.] Bleach-fix, 9 minutes, constant agitation
6.] Clear, 3 minutes, constant agitation
7.] Rinse, 40 minutes, constant agitation
8.] Dry

PHILOSOPHY

Giving up, than trying again.
Redundancy.
Irrelevance.
Failing.
Completion.
Becoming immortal, than dying.
Wh.
Etc.

Etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been traveling & surfing for over two years now. In between I've had some really great experiences, but I've also had a few uncomfortable experiences. But that doesn't necessarily reflect anything about couch surfing. It's just something that one should expect when attempting to meet new people and trying to have new experiences.
