CURRENT MISSION PhD researcher ABOUT ME See below :) PHILOSOPHY One of my favorite quotes is, paraphrased: "Unless you [explore] different points of view, your mind will eventually close, and you'll become a prisoner to a certain point of view that you'll never question." - Mohamed El-Elrian To me, this is what it's all about. There's not so much a discrete purpose to live as there is a process to life. Discovering that process might be as close to a purpose as we'll ever find.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm always looking to meet new people. If I've got a place to stay, I'm definitely willing to help out interesting travelers for a night or two. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE A few times--great people and great experiences.
Музыка, кино и книги
My Grandma told me I used to force her to rent Beetlejuice every time I visited her when I was young. Is it weird that I memorized the entire incantation they use to resurrect the dead? These days, I rarely turn my eyes to a box for more than 30 minutes or more (Futurama...Family Guy are my secret shames). If you're a fan of Strangers With Candy (television show, not the movie), though, we're likely karmic soul mates. I'm nothing if not a dilettante philosopher, though most of my knowledge comes from textbooks more than original works. I do love Voltaire, though, and have to say Candide is one of my favorite classics of all time. Having lived in Utah, it's all the more amusing.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Been beat up by a priest in Tokyo, played tag with a tiger in Guangzhou, and had my head split open in Gujerat. Places I've been: visited 16 states (7.11%)Create your own visited map of The World or jurisdische veraling duits?
Учить, учиться, делиться
There's a clear distinction between being alive and actually living. The more I experience the world and study history and humanity, the more I am convinced that few achieve the latter. Of course, it's false to claim a surity that one has approximated the Truth in one's life...actualized a clarity of reason or purpose in the world...the pursuit of it, I believe, is the surest way to ensure that--if nothing else--progress is being made.
Что я могу предложить хостам
See above :) I'd love to chat and get to know you!
Мои интересы
Free time comprises words, words, and words. I'm an avid reader, prefer audiobooks over TV or movies, and always select a tête-à-tête over an evening at home. There's nothing so exhilarating to me as having my own biases and experiences challenged and stretched. Exposure to a novel, cogently voiced perspective is that often sought and ever rarified experience. I'm a health-focused guy, don't drink or smoke, and spend at least an hour a day in the gym doing one activity or another. If it weren't 50 degrees outside where I live, I'd love to get back into outdoor activities as well. Ah for the feeling of non-sandblasted wind in my hair...
