About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn Peace

ABOUT ME

I studied biology but have not worked in it because I've been trying to keep myself free to focus on my family band. If you're interested look/listen here www.lessages.com. I like to design clothes. I like to cook. I like architecture, philosophy, science fiction, and sail boats.

PHILOSOPHY

love one another, if you are a person that gives freely others will believe your paradigm and be more giving to you, if you see beauty others will believe your paradigm and see more beauty in their lives, we have huge impact on the world around us and therefore have great power to make it what we want, our understanding of sciences is a baby that can grow into a gigantic mass of glorious truth and we can take it there if we are willing to be innovative and put in the work required for brilliance, humans in general are resistant to growth and change, we like repetition and the familiar, it takes a life of tireless effort against that slide toward complacency in order to achieve great and worthwhile work, science and religion are not enemies, religion and religion are not enemies, the person that puts effort into destroying some idea as opposed to promoting their own truth is motivated by fear and a sense that their truth is inadequate, truth stands on its own, a person acting out of hatred has nothing worthwhile to add to society, learn to be at peace, have patience with yourself and slowly become the person you want to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I recently got a job that will allow me to travel more so hopefully I'll get out and do more surfing. I'm not currently in a position to host, bummer since i'd get to meet tons of great people from the comfort of my own home. Some day some day...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm pretty new to the couch surfing website. I have frequently crashed at friends of friends houses and hosted people passing through so I guess by joining couch surfing I'm just broadening my horizons. There is something so great about connecting with others that believe in the goodness of human connection and reaching out to others; especially in this increasingly digital society where people are paralyzed by fear and anxiety over interaction with organic beings.

Interests

I write music for commercial licencing for fun and business, make clothes and furniture for fun. I like to read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

once i saw a worm in a gutter eddie right before a storm drain. it had no idea that it was staring death in the face.

in haiku

Teach, Learn, Share

i can share a bit about music composition and recording/mixing techniques, maybe you'd like a beginners tutorial on google sketchup, i'd like to learn painting/drawing techniques and also new tech building material/methods and physics thereof. also i'm always interested in learning exotic cooking practices.
