"In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice." - Richard Bach I swear entirely too much, play guitar, write songs, sing out of key, read, take bad photographs, and now.. I travel / live in India. I've built fiber optic networks, built websites, dropped out of high school, sold real estate, owned apartments, started and sold businesses, got a college degree, interviewed rock stars, and discovered the answer to life, the universe, and everything. It's 42. I'm an amateur philosopher ( who isn't? ), a lover, a fighter, an extroverted introvert, a smart ass, and trouble maker! I think nights > days, moving in any direction > standing still, and cats > dogs. Also, I have tinnitus, ( Too many concerts, not enough earplugs. ) so I am a little hard of hearing.. Just go ahead and yell at me. I don't mind. PS: I lied about learning swahili.. but this website has imparted on me a deep, deep desire to actually learn swahili now. So one day..

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Well.., 1.) Because why not?!? 2.) Because it scares the hell out my grandma. She thinks I'm crazy. She's a smart lady - she might right. 3.) Couchsurfing seems like a good way to meet people, and learn about all the super secret local insider information. 4.) I'd like to meet you. That's why.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Well, I was born.. so there's that. Life is pretty amazing in general, isn't it? Burning man was pretty amazing too. I laughed, I cried, I ate playa dust. You should try it sometime.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to play the piano in 5 minutes. True story. We'd need a piano.. And if you have a piano, I'm guessing that you can already play it. Hmm.. Oatmal. I can share some very bland tasting oatmeal with you. No? I could take your picture. And steal your soul!
What I Can Share With Hosts
Conversations about life, the universe and everything.
