CURRENT MISSION

Get a couple hundred bucks and move to California

ABOUT ME

I am agreeable, polite, courteous and respectful. Unless the setting calls for party, in which case I can do that too. I like to read and listen to tunes. Movies can be nice. Outside rules when the weather permits.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know anything about anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned how to ride horses western style this summer. Riding a properly shoed horse along a road in the pitch darkness at a gallop with a horse in front of you kicking up sparks and a sky full of stars with a couple of drinks in you down a winding road dodging inbred deer is and tree branches is by far the best thing I've ever done. As of now I've seen the Atlantic and the Pacific. The mountains around LA are the first of their kind of experienced, and while walking through some of them I saw a hummingbird.

Teach, Learn, Share

Do a chore around the house you crashed at the night before, or at least inquire as to what needs to be done. Bring food, toilet paper, or booze if possible. If you can get away with it and something really awkward is going on pretend to be asleep. If you crash on the floor, do it out of the way. Don't argue with the host. On the same vein, don't drink too much when crashing, no one likes a stranger who's blacked out drunk. Don't hit on people untill you have a firm grasp of what's going on in the place. Don't talk shit about ANYTHING when you're situation is tentative, keep it pleasant. Don't pass out early if you can avoid it, as a guest you should at least try to keep up with conversation if not entertain. Also, don't try to entertain, if it doesn't happen naturally just try to keep up with conversation. Lay off of touchy topics of conversation. Clean up any mess you make and keep your possecions compacted and out of the way. Don't be stingy. If you don't have enough for everyone, save it for a time or place when you do.
