About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Completed quest in search of my inheritances violated to obliterate my existence and my father's history renowned in his time. A new outstanding ambition in progress.

ABOUT ME

Get to know me; an exile in a foreign land. In 1957 started my ventures as a stowaway, arrived at the wrong port, learned a lot in a short time, under-age sign on the dotted line returned home with the promise we will call before your 18th birthday. Nobody believed it would happen.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophies in terms are borrowed from renowned in common link with my experiences. Atheism, is this a philosophy? it's an experience I am comfortable with, no dogma to be troubled about. Atheism is the ultimate freedom of mind to entertain a thought without getting worked up about it. Everything already said is a variation of the "eternal recurrence" The short answer; my personal philosophy, “there are attempts to define 'truth' but there is no such thing as ultimate ‘truth.’ What's new?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I take my cue and political expression not from a false education, indoctrination or ideology, but from experience to talk through the fallacies of propaganda and dogma.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No Couchsurfing experience to share. I’ve travel independent with resources according to the situation when in employment my business accommodation expense is paid by my employer. Other than I normally find inexpensive hotels or hostels to serve the purpose, when backpacking it's often convenient to evoke the wilderness of the bush. I don't do things just to say "done it and have the T-shirt, pictures or the hat" just the same I have iconic teeshirts and various hats. I have love of something that requires my preserve or person with the right motivation makes light feet.

Interests

Egyptology, Atlantis theories mentioned by Plato along with strong interest in pre-Columbus, pre-colonial South American cultures. Similar to my African experiences and personal discovery early explorers between Egypt and the Amazon reasoned on the first individual's persons' thinking sailing up the Amazon and over the Andies is not as wild a theory as it first seemed before 1975/76 when a crew of people built and sailed a papyrus boat across the Atlantic ocean A question I asked of myself about Egyptians besides the Pharaohs venturing into Mesopotamia and raiding Neo-Assyrian Empire, where else had the Pharaohs in person or their ambassadors ever take a working holiday? Cleopatra regularly sailed up the Nile river into Sudan (ThePharaohs as a person probably stayed close to his home ground, autopsy suggests they were very fat and probably lazy, their portrait depicts then as slim and fit is probably not true, but undisputed they had a yearning for cocaine, deligations for the source probably travelled in their name). In my estimation, the Pharaoh's minders designated responsibilities, explored European waterways the Danube, Rhine and Volga rivers? With a seasonal wind at his back, the distance between Nigar and Cameroon regions of Africa and nowadays Caracas is fair sailing. The return trip by reversing the stars navigation is not daunting when the reward cargo has a historic sought after value. When we see the line up of our ancestors they go back from tall to small, where do the ominous giants fit into recent discoveries? Why up close do artist painting our ancestors with hairy faces when most native Africans have smooth hairless faces? These time I'm occupied and excited about improving my computer code experience which has led me necessarily unto developing and registered owner of several account domain ultimately to network together creating a viable business. If you are into IT studies, language coding and website design this is the place for you to visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: From the east, Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai, the west Chuck Berry and R&R, not a big movie fan but by far in preference to the TV which I prefer to see in the 'Off' position. Books by: Jack London, Wilber Smith, Hollingworth, Nietzsche Popper, and the authors from Greek and Indian Epics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
