About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to catch them all

ABOUT ME

I, like all, am a thing constantly changing. Though we freeze moments of ourselves in time, they are dead slices of an irreal past. I strive to embrace the present, look to the future, and keep perspective of history.

I occupy my time soliloquing, drinking, talking, and occasionally shouting sun poems at the moon.

I am extremely tolerant, and have been raised around people of many backgrounds. I will try to respect your culture if you respect mine in kind. It is of course a mutual thing.

PHILOSOPHY

All is permitted.

Nothing is sacrosanct except love.

I live because I like to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my first couchsurfing venture, and thus far I have found the people to be quite warm and opening. When I return to my home, across the big lake, I should very much like to being hosting on my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have to say the most beautiful was seeing the setting sun reflecting off a lake in Christiana, having just ambled over from Pusher Street. The D-I-Y houses made of glass windowpanes and the experimental vibe really helped Kobnhagen stand out in my mind.

The current trip involves a rail pass, two of my friends, and a whole lotta whiskey.

Interests

I enjoy poetry (writing, reading, analyzing), words, letters, and sometimes phrases. I enjoy ekphrasis

I enjoy glugluglug

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain.

Teach, Learn, Share

To roll the perfect j, mix up your materials on the table, breaking them down by hand, mixing the essential oils. You want a mix of 50/50, more or less.

The crutch should be approx. 1/7 of the length of the paper-- longer for kings, shorter for regs.

Apportion the mix evenly along the paper and situate the crutch before even picking it up. Maintaining pressure in the center of the paper between thumbs and forefingers, move to the edges, trying to keep shit under control.

Once you tuck, roll upwards carefully, finally sealing it. Tap it on the table, crutch meeting wood. This will pack it down some. Next, grab the top as you might a sugar pack it, and shake it back and forth. This further packs it. Twist off the end, and voila.
