Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This seems like a great opportunity to discover new people and to learn some previously unfamiliar thoughts and ways of thinking,

Interests

Poetry, Coffee, Hoodies, Comfy Socks, High Fives, Low Fives, Mid Fives, Fist Bumps (as well as when you do a fist bump then draw back your open hand while going *pssssshhhh* as if your fist bump was an explosion), dogs, politics, dog politics, and silly willyness.

• dogs
• literature
• poetry
• coffee
• politics
• drawing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- Urban Verbs, The Velvet Underground, Chad VanGaalen, MF DOOM, Madlib, Freddie Gibbs, Cake. I enjoy a whole plethora of music really.

Movies- Anything with Kevin Spacey

Books- I read a good deal of books. Though I mostly enjoy poetry, and in that category I like those Late Victorian Poets, Transcendentalist, and Modernist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Told someone to give me a high five down low, but as they proceeded to do so, I removed my hand while saying in a haughty though lighthearted manner, "too slow." They were absolutely stunned. Also I camped out in the backcountry of Yellowstone in complete solitude, and in complete fear I would come across a Grizzly. I still have yet to see a Grizzly

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make an excellent cup of coffee, whether it be a different brewing technique or discussing the one you already use. We can share ideas on politics, literature, or truly any current event. I am also able to teach you how to give excellent high fives, these fives will make all your friends jealous and consequently make you the talk of the town.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respect, my thoughts and ideas, and a pocket full of sunflower seeds (or trail mix depending upon the day).
ALSO, I have been practicing a little thing I like to call "Books and Brew". I am a compulsive buyer of books, and throwing them in my car whenever I find free ones. Therefore I have a shoebox library that I travel with. I would love to share a book with you, and a beer from one of the past states I have visited. If beer is not your thing, I also have coffee...a brew nonetheless. If coffee is not your thing....I am sorry.
