My nipples are unsettling to me, so I keep my chin up.
"Oh, there I go, showing off again, self-impressed by how well I can put myself down."

Insatiable appetite for dark and absurd humor, folk music, and surrealist art.

I travel now, playing music and reading poems and stories for listening ears. The kindness of others sustains me, quite literally.

"And there I go again--to the next further removed level of that same exact feigned humility; listen to me, going on and on until the point of nausea."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think I covered that above; I could also say for the stories, because I've not got a car, so on, so it goes I need temporary house and home--I'd rather not continue staying alone.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:

Factotum, Ham on Rye, Post Office, Women (I love Bukowski for his rawness); 1984; The Hobbit and the LOTR series; everything by Lovecraft; Slaughterhouse Five (more Vonnegut to come); Freedom from the Known, J. Krishnamurti; Neuromancer, and Pattern Recognition, William Gibson; A Brief History of Time; Chaos: Making a New Science, James Gleick; Flatland; Brave New World; Stranger in a Strange Land (to read: The Cat Who Walks Through Walls)...
Currently working on The Idiot, Dostoesvsky and Catch 22, Joseph Heller; and The Quantum and The Lotus, Ricard & Thuan

The 24/7 public access televangelist is my favorite television--they'll take calls whenever. (Your lines are only "lighting up" because I found more phones to use.)

I also like the following films and shows:

Pi, Following, Primer, It's Such a Beautiful Day, Mushi-Shi, Always Sunny, The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, TEASGJ, Squidbillies, ATHF in all its incarnations, The Comedy, Death Note, Deadman Wonderland, Derek (with Ricky Gervais), An Idiot Abroad (while mentioning Mr. Gervais), 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Animatrix, Peep Show & That Mitchell and Webb Look, The IT Crowd, Futurama, Wilfred, Is the Man Who is Tall Happy? (I can't see/hear enough Chomsky), TED, Sleepwalk with Me, Love, Doomsdays; oh, Jesus, I could go on, but I need another drink and making entries to this list has become a chore. You get the idea.

Music:
Dream pop, lo-fi, psychedelic rock, electro-pop, chillwave, shoegaze, alterna-pop, and so on.

I won't do here, yet, what I did above, overdoing movies and television.

All my taste buds are dead. So it goes. I don't turn down a free meal, and I loathe a picky eater.
