About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to revel

ABOUT ME

I'm one of those humans that like a good old breath of fresh air, specially in the natural and unlabored manner. Love to consume food, especially taking it into the body by the mouth for digestion or absorption (salt and vinegar chips). I'm not going to lie nothing really beats to swallow some liquid content, especially that clear, colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid, H2O. Love the facial expression characterized by an upward curving of the corners of the mouth and indicating pleasure, amusement, or derision, just love it.

PHILOSOPHY

God, where to start. Death is beautiful. Life is an adventure. God is a joint rolled in toilet paper. Music is poetry. Poetry is just humble words expressed from the essence of you. You don't need to try. There are two types in life. Drunks and Poets. In the way you express yourself. What are you? We're all simply playing the protagonist on this wild stage. I am very interested to see you around playing? I love playing. It's every stroke of the paint brush. Every moment you paint a picture. It's all too much really but I like that. Your voice is a key to all your answers. We all understand and are enlightened. You are what you see. If I'm not with the woman I love, I love the woman I'm with. Replace woman with any word. I love Simone de Beauvoir, Roberto Bolano, Alan Watts, Jack Kerouac, Michel Foucault, William Blake and more. I consider them good friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed prodominately in France but also around other parts of Europe and met some beautiful people who reminded me how generous and kind people can be.
