Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
chasing down those who devote their time to the combative arts and learning from them what life is about, not stopping
ABOUT ME
I eat, I sleep, I read, I write and still have a few more tricks up my sleeve. I do my best to learn as often as possible, every moment, waking or not, whenever I can pull it off. My constant pursuit is wandering while learning to fight and making sure I never have to. I have done my best to be a romantic individual in the past. Now I am working on settling into old age before deciding to become a baby again- I have yet to decide on the species.
PHILOSOPHY
Until I finish breakfast I won't be able to decide
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have stayed on couches, I have had a couch to offer to others before, and when I have a couch again i hope to have people sleep on it.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
slept on couches and dirt floors, had people sleep on my couch but lacked a dirt floor to offer. now i have neither couch nor dirt floor.
Interests
Beautiful things and taking the time to sit an look without expectation, apprehension, or projection. Learning to be as effective as possible at destroying a person/wall/automobile/dragon with my bare hands. Being a pacifist.
- arts
- breakfast
- beaches
Music, Movies, and Books
I like any music that tells a good story, has soul, or just exhibits great talent. I particularly like good folk, blues, and hip-hop.
Books that do not feel held back by the often put forth need to be sensible. Books that make so much sense i have to stop reading periodically to throw suspicious glances at them from across the room.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Driving across America with a baby goat in my lap, so cute. Starlight on anything. Studied kungfu in a shaolin temple in southern china. Rode a motorcycle 10,000 miles in China. Saw the stars over a beach in Mozambique after no human contact for days. Survived this long.
Teach, Learn, Share
"We must not cease from our exploration
and the end of our exploring will be to arrive where we started
and to know the place for the first time.
As we walk through that unknown, remembered gate,
when the last of the world left to explore is that which was the beginning."
T.S. Elliot, Little Gidding
"Empty you mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup it becomes the cup. You put water into a tea pot, it becomes the tea pot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend."
Bruce Lee
