ABOUT ME
I am an aries! What that means, I dont know. I am a fun and outgoing person (that's what everyone says on here so I'll say it too). I'll be honest. Or, I'll try to be honest. I used to think I was a wise person (not a wise guy). I used to think I had some answers to life! These two things may still be true. Sometimes I get sad. Sometimes I listen to Rick Astley.(I do not get sad and listen to Rick Astley, though). I listen to music, like everyone else. I like mosh pits, I like square dances, and I would really love to take ballroom dance lessons. I am not always talkative. But chances are I like you, and want to say something, I just dont know what that something is. I am, I think, legitimately strange. I have never left this country and that is frustrating, but I know I will soon enough. Sometimes I try to grow a beard, and it works pretty well, but when I shave it off I like to use an electric buzzer. when that time comes, I end up shaving off parts of my head hair that were not expecting to get shaved off. This is called spontaneity. I like street meat, especially halal stands and taco trucks. Halal stands give me the shits, always. The perk of that? I really like to poop. My first tattoo was of a squid. its pretty nice. If you ask me the symbolic meaning of it I'll smack you upside the head (just kidding, I'm not a violent person). I could probably have a long discussion about it, though, if you were interested. I have trouble phrasing things the right way, sometimes. This is the first time I've updated this since I was eighteen, and its very strange. I probably want to talk to you about:
Watership Down
contemporary literature
Dystopian visions of the future
PHILOSOPHY
"As long as there is a lower class, I am it it.As long as there is a criminal element, I am of it. As long as there is a soul in prison, I am not free."-Eugene V. Debs
we can talk about those things in person, it seems mine is constantly changing, and so I would feel stupid to write something down here and look back at it 3 months from now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I used it to get down to New Orleans two years ago, other than that I've used it very little, I'm hoping to make better use of it now though
Interests
Astronomy, Geology, Walking barefoot, Kite-flying, Used Book Stores, Bandannas, Vinyl Records, Photography, Doodling and writing down my incoherent thoughts, fishing, SWIMMING, jumping off of big things into water, buying beer at bodegas even though I'm not twenty one, city rooftops, punks, stoners ( but I dont really smoke pot anymore, except I like the taste of it still) I'm getting into more old school rap right now and thats really fun. driving my shitty car around and hoping the cops dont catch me!
