Interests

Reading (several genres), music, people, learning, travel, tolerance, helping others when I can and generally trying to be a better person. I love to hike, camp and bike ride. I enjoy certain types of whiskey and beer. I also enjoy learning about theoretical physics, and enjoy conversations about such. I also like chess, playing pool, trivia, karaoke, solving Rubik's cubes and generally having a great time. :) also paleo

Music, Movies, and Books

Books- Burroughs, Malcolm gladwell, rollo may, Sartre, Nietzsche, palahniuk, Dostoevsky and way too many other authors to put down.
I currently play singer-songwriter type stuff, but my taste in music spans many many different genres. These days I've been listening to a lot of talking heads, captain beefheart, Jeffery lewis, and the mountain goats, Kimya Dawson, neutral milk hotel, Dolly Parton, wu tang clan, behemoth, and on and on and on....

Movies: anything funny, anything David lynch, Jodorowsky, cronenberg, Wes Anderson. I love cheesy slasher films

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of humanistic volunteer work. Food co-op, humanitarian festivals, etc. I don't know how many would call that amazing, but i've had a lot of amazing experiences doing so. I've also worked with many individuals who live with developmental disabilities, that has been a very remarkable experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Guitar lessons! I can teach you how to play dominoes. Philosophy and psychology. Mindfulness. Gardening. I would like to learn more about Yoga, carpentry, gastronomy, home brewing, and mostly whatever else I can't think of right now.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Attention, gratitude, music, work (household and lawn/garden) stories, guitar lessons, encouragement, hugs, help with utilities, handy work/manual labor.
