CURRENT MISSION

Having the ocean dragged for my heart, which is somewhere between here and Europe

ABOUT ME

I'm altogether boring boring boring. I have a tedious internal drive, some people smile at it, some don't want to get to caught up in it. Incidentally, therefore, I'm pretty damn fun, because the internal stuff (that we don't speak of) drives me out into the world, causes me to kick its tires, and being a little outlandish cycles around again to center me. I may be the next great philosopher/writer but that's entirely unconfirmed at this point. I have a sneaky sense of humor and I find myself liking to talk about art.
Edit: I've discovered I will not be the next great philosopher/writer. Big whoop.

PHILOSOPHY

Man is the agent of his own destiny. He, she: makes. Even if he is subject to the chaos of accident, it does not define him. Chaos, accident, is not the mode of life. But we humans always make organization out of chaos. We make great art, philosophies, religions, communities. We aspire, make great things out of wreckage. Hearts ache. In this: we are.

The most compelling knowledge, irresistably, is beneficent. The underbelly would see the lack in what the all-seeing would like to grant.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

have had couchstaying experiences that make me grateful, humbled even, and excited to offer others the opportunity in Detroit

兴趣

I like to dance. This is a rarity among males in America, so I bask in my glory. I like philosophy, poetry, literature, art, some sports, movies, things that are new. I write poetry, short fiction, screenplays. Writing is my stick. I beat the world with it. I'm currently making a film - that may one day actually be finished http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOKDq4Or1hs
