Reading a book in japanese was the first big accomplishment of my life Writing my own music was probably the second But trying to live for two years without any money was probably the most interesting thing I've done, I never got down to 0 a month but i did get close and found amazing people and places in the process.

I have a lot of crazy ideas about the world, some of them you might be familiar with. If there is one thing I'm good at it's going to a new city and finding something most locals wish they knew about. I'm willing to learn lots of things.

I can teach basic guitar, Japanese, Chinese and English. If I'm feeling zen I can help you find inner peace. If not then maybe I can help you out with whatever it is you are working on. I would love to jam with anyone who is not too stuck in a particular genre of music. I hope I can keep up with you.

Music (organic) Art (artists) Community (especially community that is trying to survive and do interesting things in the big commercial cities)
