CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to experience life itself, without the security of stability. That is, to be on the road and only have right now, the present moment on my mind.

ABOUT ME

I live at home with my parents and four other siblings, whose ages range from 12 to 17. While everyone is at school and work, i utilize my time by playing guitar and reading books. Currently i am teaching myself music theory, and trying to apply that to the music that I hear throughout the day. I also work as a host, where i don't have much "work" to do, so i have vasts amounts of time to read, and even jam with people who bring instruments in. In my opinion i cant beat this job!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never used Couch Surfing to find a place, but i do have a story.

On halloween '08 my friends and i went to Philadelphia to see a band called Of Montreal. My girlfriend at the time and i took the train there, and were expecting my friend to drive us home. But when the concert was over it turned out that he promised six other people he would drive them home in his five passenger Saturn. So after a heated argument with my girlfriend i told them i was going to stay in the city and catch a train in the morning. They left. While sitting in love park a man named Carmen came walking by and sat down, and we began to chat about Temple and life in the city. When in our conversation i said something about my admiration for St. Francis of Assisi to which he exclaimed "I am a third order Franciscan, God must be tryin' to tell me something! Why dont you crash on my couch for the Night." I agreed, got a good nights rest, and wound up making a wonderful friend.

Interests

I interest myself in guitar, reading, biking and sometimes skateboarding, but i am quite horrible at it. I am also interestes in religion, every religion, and intend on getting a theology degree from Temple.
