About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Somnium somnia quasi semper vives. Vive quasi hodie moriebar.

ABOUT ME

I have started my own couchsurfing chatroom on paltalk since it is getting obvious that nothing is going to be done about the 30min+ lag that many of the old timers are experiencing, mainly due to the shitty server, the inability of anyone to update the flashchat program to the newest version and the lurkers who log in and just sit there, my room can be found at www.paltalk.com and just search my name :D

A silent ninja, watching and planning his next move and watching everyone else...learning from their mistakes, Muwhahaha!

Someone who in a club will often be on the outskirts yet not afraid to make a complete idiot of myself, which I do in abundance :P

I can and do have a sardonic sense of humour which usually involves mocking myself and I also like situational humour that comes up very rarely...trying to make the littlest things seem funny without forcing it, I like interesting conversations that can spontaneously happen within a group of friends :)

The real reason I am here is because I have always wanted to walk over to the other hill, There is something that draws me to forever travel and explore no matter what it is I am doing, even if it is just for a day :)

CS is not a dating site. DO NOT email to hook up.

Your Personality is Very Rare (INTP)

Your personality type is goofy, imaginative, relaxed, and brilliant.

Only about 4% of all people have your personality, including 2% of all women and 6% of all men
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving.

How Rare Is Your Personality?

PHILOSOPHY

"It is better to "meep" than stay the silent Wil.E.Coyote forever ;)"

Simply put, there is no time like the present, if all you do is plot and plan you will never get anywhere.

life is a journey, the act of meeting other people is just getting your feet upon an upturned rock

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I know lots in the attached chatroom but unforetunately I have not got to meet anyone in a social situation yet, I plan for that to change early 2008.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None with this site..Although, one time, At band camp...!

Interests

watching the sunrise on a calm morning over a body of water....i love it, so peaceful and I can finally relax...meditate, the simple fact is that so much of life is about getting from A to B in the quickest time possible that it is nice to sit down, smell the roses and just let time stop with only your own thoughts for company...it is much under-rated :)

Why do you think so many people travel? ;)

  • meditation
  • clubbing
  • traveling
  • camping
  • science

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a sucker for those kind of inspiring films...you know the kind, coach carter, heartbreak ridge, the be all you can be, triumph over your limitations..My all time favourite is Shawshank Redemption & a very close second would be Dances with Wolves, both among the finest films ever made.

I like books...I am quite happy to read pretty much anything put in front of me, lock me in a library or museum for eternity and i will probably never notice the difference :P yes, i am a geek ;p

David Eddings is one of the ones I would pipe up with, as is James Patterson, Martina Cole, Terry Brooks, Robin Hobbs, and many many others.

Music, not much to say about that...if given the choice i would probably choose jazz, it is an eclectic mix of order and chaos, i never know what is going to come next and that intrigues me.

Absolutely insane guitarist, he has played for kings and queens around the world after someone decided to put his little known video on youtube, it catapulted him to fame and started a worldwide manhunt for this mysterious guy, see what you think of his rendition of Johann Pachelbels "Canon"

It may seem that I only like classic stuff, but I can appreciate a good club too, just dont expect me to dance or I will be bouncing around at a million miles an hour, I have not learnt the finer art of constraint yet lol

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The entire universe and everything in it has conspired on this one event for millenia and aons, now I am here what is next?

Well, lets face it..someone has to take responsibility for saving the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning meditation at the moment, have been doing for about 2 weeks and things are going well within...who can guess who or what I will become in a year?

I can burn a pizza like a professional. >:)

I am a downloading kind of guy, I used to be a channel mod in the official help channels of emule, so I am expert at downloading what I want quite fast, just ask :)

I like to debate things, though often I find myself without a clue what people are talking about so I will listen quietly, until I have formed my own ideas and opinions and then silently beat you to death with them, yeah...I'm a ninja :p

I particularly like forensic anphropology, science and all that stuff but can just as easily discuss heatedly the various plus and minus points of the coyotes plans for roadrunner domination...
