CURRENT MISSION

Broaden my horizons/exchange knowledge/ indulge in local cultura / explore / LIVE!

ABOUT ME

"I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivaled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me which is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realized only by the wise."

I love meeting new people and trying new things. I have lived the last 10 years on my own, traveling, moving, exploring, and living throughout the United States (it is jussst a little large), and in my time I have experienced and seen so many awesome and exciting things.

I have stories for days and look for people who have a positive life energy surrounding them. I enjoy learning and expanding my horizons through the study of all subjects, as I see them all intertwined and none completely separate from the others.

PHILOSOPHY

In 2004, I was hit by a drunk driver going 65 directly into my driver side door. While I was no where close to death, I have had to deal with a back of a 80 year old man with spinal problems since then. I have also had many close friends die young (Young Forever, Jay-Z), one even in my presence in a motorcycle accident in 2006. For these reasons and more, I have one simple motto:

Live life to the fullest.

Each and every minute of each and every day is right now, right now, right now....don't let it slip by untouched.

Don't take life to seriously, or you will never make it out ALIVE (you may make it out, but your life will have not been lived alive)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

the people I have stayed with have been amazing people, most of them hosting a couchsurfer for the first or second time! I love opening up people's minds to the beauty that is couchsurfing and expanding people's horizons (and language skills)

Mad, adj.- Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence. -Ambrose Bierce, Devil's Dictionary (1911)

And there are motions, in the mind of man,
That she must look upon with awe." -William Cullen Bryant

Music, Movies, and Books

I know my way around the DJ turntables, and can spin a hell of a party if you have the equipment or speakers. I love all music, well all GOOD music, but music is an expression of my mood, so it changes as my mood does. I have yet to find a genre that doesn't offer something, but I typically like to listen to tracks that are up-beat when drinking, chill and mellow when toking, and in between when joking. i kid i kid :)

I like the classics, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, and the Original gangstas, NWA, TuPac, Biggie, Mase (ha), Naz, Jay-Zizzle, the new hard hitters, G-Unit, Yelawolf, love my Lupe Fiasco, and my bass and drum as well, mostly, I just LOVE music. On my hard drive, I have 70 gb of music, some of this, little of that, and a little bit more

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Yet to be determined. Show me. I consider myself jaded, and have seen and done many things, all of which have made me who I am. but to me, they are life experiences, not one stands out, they all are appreciated for what part they played. Not all have been so memorable, but no sights I have seen can compare to any single person I have met. people are so much deeper and intriguing than the Grand Canyon, or Sagrada Familia, Parque Guell, Niagra Falls, or Mt Everest. People go to these places to find themselves and be inspired, I go to random people to be inspired, and I usually am...

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a vast knowledge about a wide array of topics, I consider myself a lifelong student and am always looking for great debates. I look at conflicting views as opportunities to find common ground and grow. People who are dead-set in their ways are not usually people that find my friendship delightful.
