41 year and fairly grounded with a certain level of vibrancy and enthusiasm. I've got a lust for life and I love people and believe in the best. I'm an artist, dad, friend and budding business man. I like arts and culture and I love great conversation and sharing ideas. I am the type to strike up a thirty minute conversation with a stranger in passing on the train. I am witty, sarcastic, silly and down to earth, inquisitive and spontaneous humble but confident and a lil cocky at times as well as imaginative and daring. I can be a bit of a cynic but so love and prefer optimism and hope. I believe that we are at our best when we have our feet on the ground and our heads in the clouds. I love the eclectic nature of my world. My arms remain open to receive, new idea, brilliance and brotherly love.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm traveling on a shoestring budget. I love people and want to experience a place from a native perspective. I relish the chance for cultural exchanges.
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies I love so many but of the top Casablanca, Do the Right Thing, His Girl Friday and Cool Runnings Music depends on the event, the moment and the mood Pigeon John , Janis Joplin, Baby face, Rancid, Sara Vaughan, Wierd Al, Blues Boy Willie etc, etc, etc. Books The Torah ,The One Thing, Black is the New White, Autobiography of Malcolm X, Five Languages of Love, 20 Poems Pablo Neruda Calvin & Hobbes and my man Crankshaft to name a few.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I had a son. I once saved a life. I am a Creative Workforce fellow . I have made friends from all around the world. I awoke this year and realized how much power I have in my speech, spirit and actions and decided act on it and use it to make the world a better place and me a better man as well as build my fellow man and Whoa!man,lol. That was a joke referencing how awestriking and amazing women can be.
Teach, Learn, Share
Smiles and hugs are universoul (that's not a typo) Nothing beats a failure but a try. Leave everything and everybody as good as or better than when you found it or them. How do you catch a "Unique Rabbit"? U , Nique up on it. Quick wit, absurdist , sarcastic or just plain silly laughter is the best medicine physical, mental, spiritually. But in my mind all things physical have energy and are and expression of spiritual.
