CURRENT MISSION

Sifting through platitudes to find the the authentic stuff people are made of.

ABOUT ME

I really believe that there exists a basic level where all humans can communicate. Especially when language isn't a barrier, then there really is no excuse! I absolutely love talking to people and going through the process of becoming fascinated with each other. I have slight nonsensical tendencies but I'm always sincere.

These days I'm fascinated by the idea of communities; Every day I believe more and more that tighter communities will be the salvation of our society and I love learning about the amazing alternative lifestyles that people come up with.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophies are constantly growing and morphing. If you want to get an idea of who I am or what I jive with, read any Tom Robins book (except for Even Cowgirls Get the Blues). ( As I reviewed this a couple years after I wrote it, I almost removed that last sentance because it sound slightly hipster.. I still meant it however, so it stays! I can only hope you'll forgive me ;)

Interests

I am in love with the concept of communication, what it takes for two people to really understand each other. I love speaking in extremes, seeing the grey, fantasy novels, Age of Empires, cooking, dogs, all things whimsical , potty humor, imagining toddlers as drunkards, and using semi-outdated words.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've battled the Bolivian immigration office and won, I've gotten drenched by the glorious spittle of the Iguazu Falls and devoured a cow carcass with Paraguayan compatriots. Above all however, I've found my inner force during an 18 hour sojourn, riding a rickety Bolivian bus with travelers diarrhea without soiling myself in front of an Australian lover. It was then I realized that I am a warrior. And not to eat Bolivian friend chicken before a journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I spin a mean pizza pie.. It's really the only thing I can cook well, but I can do it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Aside from general merriment and good company, I'm a mean dish washer and I know how to cook a delicious potato celery soup!
