About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I plan on being a superstar.

ABOUT ME

I am pretty cool cat. I ran a garagepunk label that only released one record but it made a couple of top 10 lists from Maximum Rock N Roll magazine. I used to live in Austin until last February and then temporary moved to Philadelphia and had some art shown in a gallery. I am 26 years old and I say a bunch of things that don't make much sense. Don't worry, I don't know what I am saying either. I graduated from a junior college but failed out of a 4 year school because of the inability to get to class before 1pm. Someday I am going to be a super star. My sister says my hair smells like potatoes. I disagree with her statement. I lied one time to get job by saying that I got a short story published in the New Yorker. I also said one time to get out of work that some deaf dude tried to man rape me. I have two album art tattoos (Daniel Johnston and the Beat Happening).

PHILOSOPHY

I am really laid back and I don't worry about almost anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan on couch surfing for a while until I get finished with my medical study (Sept 22nd) and then I can get my own place where we can so many extravagant dinner parties.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couch surfing right now over at my friend Daniel's in Wichita and prior to that I have been couch surfing over in Lawrence at my sister's place. Couch surfing is the best.

Interests

Muzak (noise, soundscape collages, classic college rock from the 90s, drone, harsh static, bedroom pop, power electronics, etc. and etc.), making art, writing novels, trying to watch the entire Criterion catalog (I think I am around 200 or so), dinner parties, italo disco dancing, and granite falls.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I saw this little ant get in a fight with a roach and then the ant turned the cockroach on its back and stranged the roach or something like that. Then the ant carried the roach back to its anthill probably to feed its family. It was one of the coolest feats of nature I have ever seen.
