CURRENT MISSION

Live somewhere other than my parents' house without violating my probation. Oh, and to have sex with Noam Chomsky.

ABOUT ME

I am a student. I am an anarchist. I am very intelligent. I am a writer. I .... am the coolest person you'll ever meet. I don't really feel like describing myself in a little box like this again. I've got profiles on networking sites. Google "dystopiate" or check a website for a user with that name, and that will be me. There, you can find more information about me.

PHILOSOPHY

I live, because I am biologically programed with survival instincts. I am alive, because my mom and dad fucked, and, for whatever reason, one sperm won and fertilized the egg. It isn't my fault I exist. Had I been given the choice, I probably would have opted not to have been spawned, for many reasons. However, here I am. There's not much I can do about it, since I'm not going to kill myself. Therefore, all that I can control is how I react to my situation (of being alive,) and I make the best of it. This means that I make the best of any situation in which I find myself. I have no regrets, and I find contentment wherever and whenever I am. I think everyone should do the same. I believe that life sucks, and that this is a "fact," but that it's really up to the individual whether or not they are going to let the suckiness be a good thing or a bad thing. I don't believe in self-pity or regrets. I think that people should be happy, and that they always have the power to be, that one's mind has more power than one's circumstances. I am not an optimist, nor am I a pessimist. I think that .... it is what is is. So deal with it. And really, regarding everything, all we have control over is how we react to things, so I try to keep my reactions positive ones. Even negative reactions, opinions, feelings, and thoughts can be considered positive if you want them to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not sure yet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch-surfed as my primary residency in a local area while holding a job and/or a "job," and/or being a student. I have couch-surfed in that I have been homeless locally and in other cities while traveling as a transient, vagrant, hobo, bum, and met cool people either just randomly on the streets or at events for causes in which we both believed or events like concerts and stuff like that and they've offered to let me stay with them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to classical music (and neo-classical,) rock (like "classic rock,") "alternative," punk, industrial, folk, and a little hip-hop. I mostly like underground music.

I like movies that teach me something or are interesting in a psychological, philosophical, or artistic sense.

I read a lot of non-fiction. I like essays. I read textbooks and academic journals. I read other non-fiction books too, mostly about politics and science (all the sciences, heh.) See my profile on Facebook or something for some of my favorite authors. As for fiction, my taste is like my taste in movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One? I guess I'll just pick one randomly then ...

Okay, I "saw" some Kids that I had never even met defend and protect me. I was living in a tent (illegally, technically) with my ex-fiancee in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA, US, and we made our living by selling ... things in the park and on Haight Street. Some local from the ghetto robbed me, and I stood up to up. He raised his fist like he was going to swing at me, and some girl who was also a park kid saw this happening, and she ran and got a whole group of more Park Kids that had never even met me, and they all chased after this guy that had ripped me off and caught him. They held on to the merchandise that he had stolen it from me, rather than keeping it. Not only that, but another girl with whom I was loosely acquainted had apparently also been robbed by this guy, and her goods were not retrieved, but she knew that I had been robbed. The Kids that got my stuff back thought it might have been hers and offered it back to her. She came and found me and told me that they got my stuff back but not hers, and she pointed out who was holding it for me, and he gave it back to me.

I just thought that was amazing, because none of these people even knew me, but they showed so much solidarity and loyalty to me to defend me and to return what was mine to me, just because I was one of them. I never would have known if they'd have kept my stuff. I never would have known if the one girl had accepted it as hers. But they all not only protected me but were honest about that. All the would could be like that if everyone had someone to call their people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Again, see my profiles on other websites. I've published a lot of my artwork and essays I've written and stuff on them.
