About Me

CURRENT MISSION

i need to find a job, a place to live... and i need to find fun

ABOUT ME

a quiet unassuming guy shuffling about through life.. I don't talk much, but when I do, it's to the point without any bullshit(unless that is the vibe I am playing off of).. Don't expect any flowery sonnets out of me..

currently slumming it with my truck and tent.. going to be house-less on aug 15

I'm a gypsy.. unashamed and unapologetic.. I will even sell you some tears if you need protection.

I am the guy that looks on the ingredient list to everything I buy. If I am buying a gadget I will give the floor model a thorough testing to ensure its quality/ruggedness. I must know, and know it all! Not that I know anything.

Also, why must people talk about inane subjects in a social atmosphere? Why can't we discuss ion transport, protein-protein interactions or even something remotely mentally stimulating? I forgot, what happened on project runway?

PHILOSOPHY

>as long as you are alive, no worries<

>dance it off!<

It's only a choice, no effort, no work, no job, no savings and money: a choice right now between love and fear. The eyes of fear want you to buy bigger locks, buy guns, close yourself off, the eyes of love instead see all of us as one

What business of yours what I do, see, read, buy, or take into my body as long as I do not harm another human being? And for all of you having a moral dilemma on how to answer that question, let me answer it for you: NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS. Now you can cash that and take a trip out of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have always had a couch open when needed.. more local until I heard about this site..

i remember having 7 people(8 total) living in my tiny two bedroom duplex for a week, but had 5 people regularly(only 1 couple out of the bunch no less) for months on end.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

new to the site and have only crashed at two very cool guys places, but my network of friends has helped me couch surf in chicago, and moscow so far..

Interests

life, the universe, and everything!

heh, beer brewing, live music, people's passions.. the chemistry of life, as I am a biochemist after all; specifically, the communication that goes from cell to cell and directs cell differentiation.. after all, you are comprised of billions of cells that have the exact same blueprint yet express it in such a unique way to make an eyeball or hand, etc

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

traveled to Russia, England, France, Mexico, Jamaica, Provodenciales(Turks & Caicos).

I've seen sharks, sting rays, eels, and thousands of fish in their native environment, hell, just breathing underwater was an amazing, yet difficult to adjust to, experience

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to brew beer, organic gardening, composting, hydroponics, camping, cooking, scuba diving and give a chemical/biological perspective.. and as long as I am not too late, I can also teach you to procrastinate

would like to learn to play the violin! or more about living off grid, subsistence farming, aquaponics, patience

share: I have some home brew.. I have all my brewing equipment, all I need is a place to brew!!
