Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love comedy on TV: 30 Rock, Futurama, Top Gear, The League, Always Sunny, MST3K, HIMYM, etc.

Games: A few too many to mention :), Looking forward to Tribes Ascend, Battlefield 3, Prey 2, Mirrors Edge 2 (fingers crossed).

Movies: Blues Brothers!

When reading I generally go for fiction and sci-fi. Imaginative stories and creativity are the things I look for in books. Ender's Game, Dune, Neal Stephenson, Philip K, Dick... the classics! I tend to buy books faster than I can read them.

Music: Normally its punk/ska, but my tastes expend all the time. 311, NOFX, Reel Big Fish but there are too many to list.

Food: Indian, Mexican

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Im slowly visiting all of the wonders of the world. So far I've been to the Great Wall, Taj Mahal, Machu Picchu, the Coliseum, and the Chichen Itza Pyramid... only two to go.
