CURRENT MISSION

Scotland or bust (or sit in my office and get my work done)

ABOUT ME

I've racked up a ton of debt from school that I simply can't pay down anymore. So I'm at the point where I either cash it in and live the life of a dropout here in America, or get on with my life elsewhere. Liking my odds abroad so what the hell?

I play guitar, love baseball and football (real football, not that shit that's on every Sunday during the fall here), write constantly, do some other stuff. I dunno.

Easy going. Liberal by default.

I can't get verified because I can no longer get a credit card. My credit's fried. Promise I live where I say and I'm as nice a person as you'll ever meet though.

PHILOSOPHY

"I am a liberal because it is the political philosophy of freedom and equality. And I am a progressive because it is the political path to a better future. And I am a Democrat because it is the political party that believes in freedom, equality and progress."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't know?! I want to travel. And I'm a good host in Knoxville.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hoh boy. I lived on a friend's couch for a month once. I've spent plenty of time on the road around America so I've spent plenty of time on a lot of different couches. Leather, plaid, that ugly 70's flowery pattern... I've been on'em all.

Music, Movies, and Books

Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, John Mayer, The Clash... if it has a good, strong electric guitar I probably listen to it. (Except Steve Vai. Lose the fan, jackass.)

My favorite movie has been and will always be Ghostbusters. I enjoy Wes Anderson films, Batman, Cool Hand Luke, Rushmore, Vertigo...

Animal Farm, Lake Wobegon Days, The Pitch That Killed, Endurance

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Part of the 150 foot Slip'n'slide experiment this summer. You'll never have a better time drunk than flying down a hill on a swimming pool floatee over a ramp and into a river at 25 MPH.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can fix just about anything around a home (except wiring), basic auto stuffs, I'm good with Photoshop (who isn't anymore?), can teach basic guitar/music theory, baseball coach, decent writer/photographer, play a lot of football (soccer). I'm that guy my friends call when something goes wrong.

I want to learn anything I can. Current interests: advancing my desktop publishing skills, running a lot more, what the hell's up with the FA?
