CURRENT MISSION

To actually finish one of the many writing projects I have...

ABOUT ME

I'm a tall, lanky, somewhat odd individual who likes people in general. Gee, I really don't know what else to put here. I think my list of interests really describes me a lot better.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a born-again Christian, not to be confused with judgmental, hypocritical, bible-thumbing loony! If you ask, I will answer respectfully and thoroughly and if you don't like the answer (you won't be the first) well, that's too bad. I've never been one to sugar-coat at the cost of honesty:D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've participated unofficially in the past by putting people up for a night or two if they needed it and showing them around but this site just allows me to expand on that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Due to weather, a travelling Australian friend had to stay over Christmas with my family. Kinda sucked for her not to get home, but it was a cool experience.

Interests

I like reading, writing, listening to music, playing music, singing, world-building, drawing, whining when I'm not having fun at work, crying when I'm REALLY not having fun at work, making my coworkers cry by making fun of them at work (which usually makes being at work fun), weirding people out just enough that they don't ask me stop, saying awkward things, discussion of baseless theories, plans for world domination, extreme emailing, driving with the music cranked, cleaning out my room after leaving it be for a month, cleaning out my car after leaving it be for a year, competetive mosquito swatting, tackle badminton, doing fun things with other people that I can't motivate myself to do alone, etc...

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The Emperor's New Groove, The Princess Bride, Gladiator, Mystery Men, Serenity, Batman: The Dark Knight, The Land Before Time, etc.

Music: Anberlin, Becoming the Archetype, Blindside, Brave Saint Saturn, Children 18:3, The Classic Crime, Demon Hunter, Disciple, Dream Theater, Falling Up, Family Force 5, Fireflight, Five Iron Frenzy, Flyleaf, Hokus Pick, Kutless, Lifehouse, Michael Angelo Batio, Opeth, Project 86, Red, Relient K, Skillet, Thrice, bands that I forget...

Books: There's a ton I like but the Three Worlds series by Ian Irvine is currently at the top.

Another great book is Redeeming Love. One of the best books ever written. It's in the 'romance' genre but the impact of this book goes far beyond genre.

I've lately been reading an epic series by Steven Erikson called 'The Malazan Book of the Fallen'. I wouldn't recommend this unless you feel like scratching your head for half of the first book, trying to figure out what's going on.

When I'm done my books, not only will they be on my list, but on yours as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If I had to narrow it to one, I would say it was spending a couple nights on a mountain in a wildlife reserve in South Africa with forty other people and nothing for shelter but a rubber tarp.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a writer and an artist (mostly graphite compositions of wildlife but I have done portraits and tattoo designs.) I also have a great deal of interest in various philosophies and love to discuss them.
