CURRENT MISSION

Make the best of all of it

ABOUT ME

I'm not sure, I think I'm kind of a weird person. I like to think about difficult things, ugly and pleasant alike. I feel at this time that a longer self description would clearly translate into the bullshit that it would in fact be.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to distinguish useful emotions from biological tricks

I believe in the yin yang

But philosphy is largely ongoing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a person in a place and sometimes I go other places also

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was a simple meet up in Chicago for a day, and since then I have stayed some nights in Portland with some nice fellows, rode bikes with a cool guy from my own city, and I've conversed with quite a few cool people online. All positive experiences.

Interests

casual philosophy, biking next to cars, biking next to trees, riding busses, driving, smoking, cooking, urban design and planning, vegetables, coffee, beer, photographing the city, the 90's, Indian things, animals, urban history, transit history, sustainability, degrowth, everything that is art which is a lot, nighttime, music, befriending cats, dark alleys, holding doors open for people, whatever else is fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into pretty much everything but lately it has been... Regina Spektor, Avenged Sevenfold, and Dexter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hardly get "amazed" but I try to enjoy every moment

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how other people's heads work, so tell me, and I will teach you to ride a unicycle. I also look forward to finding little things that quietly enhance other cities, that may be applicable to my own.
