CURRENT MISSION

I'm looking forward, finishing school at SFSU, finishing my two novels, my play, and this comic book I'm working on and adding new face to the collage of characters that I've been building up sense I came to the East Bay

ABOUT ME

I grew up in pretty bad neighborhood where the people around me were desperate and sadly content to live their lives out without note or incident. I was the weird one. I wanted more; I wanted a life. I read almost constantly and when I can I watch the ironic amount of television; literature is my passion, but in a way all media can serve a purpose, I sometimes find my self a little jealous when I meet those who have talent at visual arts but honestly it just spurs my own creative nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Every thing is inspiration; everything is funny; Everything is sad; nature should be respected but not patronized; ideas don't die, they are dangerous, that is why they are beautiful; people with tattoos have good stories to tell; Pop music is not music but advertising same goes for pop culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to surf around and compare mental notes with people throughout the Eastbay area while stabilize myself and finish school and after I have a couch of my own I would like to see what kind of people would like to pass through my threshold.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I’ve had some limited experience couch surfing around Southern California but nothing as interesting as this; a few people had nothing to contribute to me and consequently the opposite was true, but the interesting people I did meet have become friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a lot of stories, I once climbed up the Watts tower a cop shot me in the right butt cheek with a rubber bullet at the DNC Protest, and I once got into an altercation with a low level member of the Yakuza (no lie my life has been that ridiculous).

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm well versed in nineteenth century philosophy and the Ethos, Logos and Pathos of writing. I a broad and non-ethnocentric sense of world history (everybody screwed over somebody and everybody helped somebody; its just nature) and useless mental encyclopedia of modern cultural facts and comic book trivia (hell Yeah).
