CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people and learn new things, share experiences, and (To quote Paul theroux) To grin like a dog and wander aimlessly.

ABOUT ME

I am kind of tallish, without being too tall. Lightly built, but not (as some might have ýou belive, skinny)Funny, without needing to constantly be the centre of attention. Intelligant, but with a mind carefully warped and stunted by popular culture, like a kind of pop-bonsai.

PHILOSOPHY

(the following is subject to change without warning)

Ok, so I'm basically about communication, yeah? Dialouge, discussion, shared experiences, ideas, words, dances and ideas. I believe that humans have within them the potential for great evil as well as great good. And nothing is good, but that which leads to openness, fair-mindedness and greater understanding, while that which is evil does the opposite.

I believe that self-knowledge is fundamental to personal growth, and required for the proper understanding of your environment (and vice-versa). I believe I could go on like this... and if we have a few more drinks, I believe I just might.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have no couch to offer at present, indeed, nothing at all to offer, save my company, converation and enthusiasm.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sure, I´ve camped and crashed on couches from time to time - but as far as ´official´couch surfing is concerned, it currently amounts to the good reports of my good friend Steven Taylor and brief meetings with several other couch surfers.

Interests

Talking, Film-Making, Poetry Making, Skydive Breakdancing (not being activley persued at this time) and, oh yeah... traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most movies... and I am hanging out for the new Indiana Jones - although I fully expect to be frustrated by it... I want to get a copy of El Cid to read, while I´m in Spain, that seems like a good idea... and Music, well I´ll listen to pretty much anything (at least for a while) but I do have a soft spot for Ani DiFranco and folk/rock chicks in general, Janis Joplin or Patti Smith anyone? Also Jazz is great, Rap is great,Tom Waits rules the world, and Buddy Wakefield isn´t so bad either.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While making a music video,I once released a very large number of Dachshunds in an enclosed space. This had to be carefully managed to stop the larger ones from eating the smaller ones. I done/saw this.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ok, I´ve got some skills in visual communication, editing, script-writing and story development. I also have ´some´experience creating video for the internet and DVD. This could be of use to people... i´m sure...
