CURRENT MISSION

Compress lungs, take breath

ABOUT ME

Just graduated from the University of Houston. Taking a month and a half long road trip around the U.S. to see stuff, meet people. and write poetry. Austin is my first stop. I also plan on reading at open mics across the country.

PHILOSOPHY

I hate most things. But some things are alright. And a small percentage are amazing. I live on a healthy diet of percentile. Good things. There's such thing as too many good things. Like too many pillows. They're alright. But in the fetal position sometimes your body hangs over the edge. Like broccoli. I don't really like broccoli. But it's alright. I'll eat it because it's good for me. You know? Do you have any Feelings? Do you have any Thoughts?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Give and you shall receive. I am currently unable to provide couch(es). I will gladly absorb any couch for a couch of equal standard later.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Eighteen is the perfect year to leave home. Ever since, there is more freedom in a floor than at home. A couch is even better. I have been saved by many a couch. Couch safety nets. In return, I have saved a couple friends with a couch. A good couch and good people. An American dream.

Mostly writing and reading. Talking with close friends. Walking the street at night. Going to shows. &c...
