CURRENT MISSION Shave without getting razor burn. No, seriously. ABOUT ME I'm a pretty laid back guy, for the most part. I like to try anything new that doesn't involve eating insects or jumping off of high things. I like to think about the big picture of things. I get a bit ahead of myself sometimes, and tend to forget about all the little details. I try to learn as much as I can about everything I can. People tell me I have good moral fibre. PHILOSOPHY I don't think we'll ever find a meaning to life; why we're here. Finding out HOW we got here is pretty damned interesting, though. Right now they say that 13.7 billion years ago, the universe was created in an instant from nothing and since then, has been expanding at an ever-accelerating rate. Then again, we also used to think that bugs were spawned from water droplets. The fact that there's so much we don't know in the universe drives me. There's still a lot of things to wonder about left out there, and a lot of places to see. It's comforting in a way to know that there's going to be an encyclopedia of knowledge that's still undiscovered long after I'm gone.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I haven't really done anything on here yet except for sign up and post a photo, but I guess that was kinda fun. I'm hoping to expand on these experiences and meet some interesting people with interesting accents!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
My friends and I drove in a 1987 Hyundai Pony from Vancouver, Canada to Los Angeles , California. The fact that we did not crash, the car didn't break down (well, permanently at least), and we made it back safely is still mind-boggling for me. It's a pretty neat story, actually.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know a good amount about computers and technology in general. I know small little bits and pieces about science, particularly astronomy. Did you know our sun won't ever explode? If you meet me, I'll explain why!
My Interests
Game Design is my biggest one. I love to sit and pick apart what's fun and what can be improved whenever I sit down and play games. Astronomy and science as a whole is very fascinating to me. I find it hard to believe that some people don't get lost in the thought of the vastness of the universe, or how intricate everything is when broken down. Social structure is something I find very interesting, as well.
