About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get married. Hey I'm 35 what do you want from me?

ABOUT ME

Originally from the USA, CALIFORNIA. Been traveling all my life. Lots of time spent in The Netherlands and Germany and now India. I sometimes get easily distracted. Unique sense of humor. Love philosphy (especially Nietzsche). Probably too generous most of the time.

PHILOSOPHY

Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.

No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Only sick music makes money today.

What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.

The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.

-All quotes by Fredrich Nietzsche

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite movie of all time is "Being John Malkovich". "Eyes Wide Shut" is also a favorite. Also love "dhobi ghat".

As for books, "Where the red fern grows", and "On Bullshit".

Music: House artists like Bob Sinclair, Mylo, Daft Punk, DJ Sharam from Deep Dish, et al. Electronic-ish bands like M83, God is an Astronaut. And whatever pop music just came out in the last 30 seconds while you were reading this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: Europe during the 2006 world cup in Germany. Seeing Mt. Everest wasn't too bad.

Done: Hiring a 4 person band to play music for a girl in Italy out front of her house at 10 in the morning.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a foreigner living in Mumbai, I can share with other foreign travelers my experience of living here.

Like most working professionals I'm also always interested in improving my personal network.

I could facinaite/bore you with my knowlege of Existential Philosophy. And I'm always interested in rapping with other people interested in philosophy.
