About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The angels can fly because they take themselves lightly

ABOUT ME

I am surprised by everything. I am what I do. I am not words.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is far to complicated and in-depth to explain here but it can be summed up in the following: YOU ARE THAT!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have been hosted a few times during my world travels, but I am back and have my own place so it is time to return the karma.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far the couch surfing experiences I have had, have been great! That is when it works out which is seldom.

I am deeply interested in the following (among many other things): Reading, Writing, Philosophy (in general), Psychology, Religion (and the psychology of), Religions of the east, meditation, physical culture, playing music (drums and guitar), playing (and listening to)extreme music (death metal)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am dedicated to extreme music, ie Death metal, Black metal, Grindcore, Post Metal etc. But I love all music that is honest, well written, passionate, and a reflection of the artist who creates it. Some of my favorite bands include: Neurosis, Hacksaw to the Throat, Antagony, Suffocation, Morbid Angel, Nile, Immolation, Isis, Opeth, Wolves in the Throne Room, Exhuasted Prayer, Intronaut, and really the list goes on forever.

As far as books go, I read about 50-80 books a year, so rather than list my favorite books, I will list my 5 favorite authors who are : Alan Watts, GK Chesterton, Aldous Huxley, Thomas Merton, and DT Suzuki.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many, but skydiving is an amazing experience, I have done it twice and hope to many more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a philosopher. I have writen a book on spirituality and I am very knowledgable on the subject. It is my goal in life to be a spiritual teacher so I am always open to teach. My specialty is meditation and Buddhist, Hindu, and Taoist philosophy.
