I used to draw cartoons in hollywoodddddddd, now I look at network data and make sure it isn't bad. It pays a lot better and crushes less of your dreams.

I think food is, like, real amazing in that it can taste fantastic, but also like, it is the very fabric of society and should be important. I biked across the country with my cister awhile back and filmed a documentary (that needs b-roll footage and elbow grease to actually one day be a film) meeting people involved with food production and glimpsed how fundamentally food relates to community and wow, y'all. One day imma make a self-sustaining food-growing love-maximizing commune/business and it's gonna be super cool.

In the meantime imma play a shit-ton of boardgames with badasses, drink delicious beer or whiskey, bicycle around a lot, breathe in problems, and exhale solutions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend told me about couchsurfing before our trip to Europe in 2008. I was hosted by some very gracious, awesome people and haven't gotten to return the favor after nearly 10 years as I was always living with other people who wouldn't be down. Now I'm like, a 30-something professional with a career and shit so I can do whatever I want and hang with awesome people from everywhere!

Well, I have two roomies right now in my new house and we haven't figured out our Couchsurf situation yet but I shall update relatively soon.
