My favorite thing to do is learn. Every one has a different story to tell, with something different to teach, so don't be surprised when I ask you all about yourself. I am full of wonder. I am incredibly spontaneous. If I say no to a wild idea, feel free to slap me. Just joking. Never slap a man... ever. Rather punch me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have an obsession. Hold on for one minute before I explain. Already subliminally you have taken the word obsession and made a negative mental note. I would like you to take a step back and view me from a broader perspective; for, all the greats all have an obsession. From Karl Marx to Malcolm X to King Henry IV; where each may not be good, but where each changed the world.
My obsession would be accurately be understood from that of one viewing literature on a fundamental level, where allegory's are story's with subliminal story's below and metaphors are comparisons of objects; dissimilar.
I would rather join Dante in his seven layers of hell than be a dreary flat character in this life. I am driven by a angry coachman who's soul purpose is to create something that astounds the human mind. I wish to be a round character in this grand story we perceive as life.
In my mind, the path to becoming a round character is constantly wavering. It is full of sorrow and heavy work, a dangerous path where many have fallen. It is full of pride and wonder, and rarely small dabbles of joy. However, the very most important part, or rather the mounds of treasure at the end is wisdom; an intense knowledge and insight of what is.
True wisdom is a rare occurrence, matched only by genius. I am no genius. So what is so peculiar about wisdom that meets its match with the greatest of minds? It is inhuman, it is insight beyond natural thinking.
As we should put all things into question; Why is wisdom at the heart of a round character? Humans are easily defined. Says statistics, advertising, personality tests, even culture. While each of us is comprise of different DNA, on a grand scale, we are but a species doing what evolution or a grand deity has programmed us to do. Humans are flat characters. To be a round character is to be inhuman. To be inhuman is to be wise.
My intense knowledge can come from you, however it is but a means to an end. My journey but starts with you.

Interests

I love to experience art in whatever form, whether that be painting, sculpture, music, or dancing. I am a ceramicist myself. Philosophy always intrigues my mind. I was an exceptional lacrosse player in high school, so even if your couch is full, lets just throw around. I don't like getting trashed, but its ok to get loose with a joint and a bottle of vodka every once in a while. Overall, everything is int resting to someone, and if your willing to share your interest with someone chances are, it will be at the very least mildly interesting to them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I never really got a musical education, but I have come up with my own classification for music. There's music that's good for your heart, soul, and mind.
Movies more often than not follow the Hollywood formula. I don't like to waste my time with movies like that. If its a cult classic; yes.
Being college age, I read textbooks. Care to join my book club?
