Music, Movies, and Books

Music: http://www.last.fm/user/super_ted6
I like everything but country really. Recently I've been into alternative hip-hop, posthardcore, and weird electronica.

Movies: Clerks, Boondock Saints, Enter the Void

Books:
I like classics, specifically Camus, Conrad, and Kafka, as well as the lovely beat authors, Burroughs, Ginsberg, Kerouac (I'll slot Hunter S. Thompson in there as well, though he's much later obviously).
In terms of modern authors, I like Jesse Ball, Sam Pink, and Tao Lin. Anything alternative really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've played trumpet for ~16 years now and have played in various groups.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a strong understanding of mathematics and physics. At one point or another, I've taught all public school grades, from Kindergarten to highschool seniors.

I've spent a considerable time conquering my inner demons through meditation, self-reflection, and yoga.

In general, I'm an incredibly open and honest person, and would be more than likely to share/teach anything you'd like to know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been learning how to cook healthy and can cook meals for those who host me.

I can be talkative. I can be silent. I'm incredibly flexible depending on hosts.

Countries I’ve Visited

Mexico

Countries I’ve Lived In
