ABOUT ME

I wish there were someone who could tell me this.

"It occurred to me that anyway one more Sunday was over that Maman was buried now, that I was going back to work, and that, really, nothing had changed."
- From "The Stranger"

I'm a simple guy with not-so simple thoughts. I find people and challenging activities fascinating and fulfilling.

PHILOSOPHY

Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.

The only way to know about anything is to try and discover it for yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met very fascinating and endearing people through couchsurfing. I consider the success of my travel directly proportional to my utilization of couchsurfing.
Fellow Surfers have come through in big ways. It's nothing especially uncommon to read that, but to experience the hospitality and comraderie of the couch surfing culture is so unique.
Meeting people from different backgrounds and with different trajectories - coming to an interpersonal cross-roads - makes life so fulfilling. Couchsurfing has expanded my perspective, while enhancing who I am within.

Music, Movies, and Books

I hate most movies, but I still have a lot of "favorites": The Seventh Seal, Goodfellas, Fight Club, Henry V, The Wind That Shakes the Barley, No Country For Old Men... to name a few.
I like lots of music, mostly Classic Rock, most funk, most folk music, some indie rock - I'm down for anything that suits the moment, right now, it's usually dance music.
Since I'm a nerd, most the books I've read you've never heard of/would prove uninteresting. I also don't do as much reading as I'd like.
