HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING In any way possible. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Surfed a bit in Germany.

I went through a phase where I loved postmod literature, or anything with a bite against the current state of globalism or the corrupt nature of human beings coping with such a system. However, I do believe that I have exhausted all of those feelings, and would rather read non-fiction or theoretical fiction about non-fiction that allows me to love life, seek alternative perspectives and pursue ideas that may not mean anything to anyone else. I read quite often compared to those around me, and it is my preferred source of information these days, as the internet is more like a guilty pleasure than a true source of information, and I can't really take any news sources as truth. Top of that list: The Holographic Universe The Secret Life of Plants Why Beauty is Truth (A History of Symmetry) Black Elk Speaks Shamanism John Lame Deer Fire Former favourites: Siddhartha Steppenwolf Das Glasperlenspiel The Cat's Cradle Slaughter House Five Fahrenheit 451 Mockingbird (Tevis) Snow Crash Choke Fight Club The Master and Margarita Crime and Punishment Dorian Grey I'm a huge fan of Soul music, based on my upbringing in Detroit, Michigan, where I was introduced to Motown, Soul, Funk, Gospel and all other forms of very expressive and usually sub-culture related music. I've had my stints in many different subcultures since, most importantly: Industrial/EDM, Detroit Techno, second and third wave ska, punk/hardcore, bla bla bla. I am a seeker of music. Movies. Well, I like films, but I'm not a fan of consumption-oriented big-budget super films aimed at simply generating cash (although, to be fair I do give some of them the time of day just in case they do have original or fantastic ideas!). My preferred directors: Coen Bros., Kieslowski, Lynch. If you want to talk more about this, just send a message. My food habits are very strange, and oftentimes very difficult for others to warp their heads around, but I to make them as easy as possible.
