Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
I've been all about the books lately. After getting a film degree I can't seem to enjoy watching films often.
These days I'm trying to fill my head with as much information and experience as possible, in the hopes that one day it can be regurgitated in a pleasing manner.
I need to be talking and going on secret explorations all the time.
I'm working on finding a way to live in a house and feed myself without having to do anything I don't want to do.
Treehouse?
PHILOSOPHY
I don't believe in anything.
Which first horrified me when I heard it coming out of my mouth one day as an offhand remark. But looking at the statement now, it makes much sense to me.
If I don't believe in anything I am not tied to any rules or dogmas about how to live or what could be true.
I like living with the assumption that anything might be possible. At least until it's explored and a decision can be made.
However, I do feel compelled towards growth and change, and generally accept them to be useful things
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've done some traveling on my own and I know the occasional necessity of having a roof.
The time that comes to mind is trying to find shelter on the streets of San Francisco at night.
So I'd not only like to have access to a roof when the need arises, but would like to offer one when I can.
Interests
Various forms of imagination..
Writing is the longest running consistent interest.
The playing of various musical instruments, guitar, drums, piano, (trumpet?) and singing in accompaniment where acceptable
Creation of comics and computer games and, perhaps more importantly, the theory of how such mediums work effectively.

Books on brain change. Neuro-Linguisic Programming, etc.
Music?
The same indie crap that you listen to.
And the Broadways. Still fairly attached to ska too.
Old movies, used to watch a lot of old 40's film noir.
Twin Peaks and Six Feet Under are two favorites
