About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living in the world- traveling around and making someones day. I am happy, outgoing, funny smart- I am a dichotomy of life- from dance all night to sit and read philosophy with a cup of tea- either way Im full of life and above all full of love.

ABOUT ME

What can I say? Im a little messy, but trying to be more "responsible" and neat. Lets put it this way- Im not uptight in any way- Im up for the challange! Im ready to go do anything- athletic, adventures, "hanging out", movies, laughing at people, but then again Ill be your best loyal friend in the world if you let me, I know that people shy away from eachother out of fear and I hate that so much. I think you can get to know someone in one day if you really want them to know you. Being honest is alot harder tahn just saying what you think or observe- its digging deep into your mind and soul and trying to explain how you are really feeling, deep down, why you might be saying certain things, leaving others out and not fearing people's responses to you. I like to save fun things for later, I can wait. But Im also impulsive as hell- Ill fly to miami this afternoon if you look at me with smile and are ready to go. For real- I like to learn and read and be smart and I like to dance and be free-spirited. I love people who express themselves and go with their guts. I love to be strong and I admire other strong people. Sometimes I get caught up trying to "help" people to succeed, to change themselves, to realize that life is great- they are great- and they need to go out in the world and take full grasp of life. I also am a little sensitive- I may or may not seem so depending on who you are and how you come off- defense mechanisms are EXTREMELY prevelant in people's daily lives and intereactions- dont take things too personal because most likely the reason other people do certain things is because they are not used to you, or scared or have had bad experiences, misinterpret you, your intenstions, what you want, etc. when they could simpply just be REAL and ask. People hate "fake" people- right? So lead by example and be real, real fuckn honest, just think everything that could help someone else understand where you are comming from, without trying to not hurt feelings, just you know- be whatever form of yourself you want at that time. Nothing is consistent, everything changes, has different mooods, fluxuations, etc. and thats fine. That doesn't make you a hypocrit- just a living breathing life-form. Dont focus too much on labels- for they are essentially meaningless (even though people spend their whole lives trying to obtain certain labels for themselves, "mother" "dr." "manager" "punk" whatever the fuck you want, when what really matters ain't the label but whatever you think the label represents, just be THAT... smart, loving, rude whatever. just be true to you- not the label-) Don't pressure people into things- but also you totally shoudl because they probably will have alot more fun if they just try it. TRY IT! dont be a frickn chicken sh!t. I swear- not to be cool but because its part of my vocab. Also- what do I do to be cool? Um- depending on the day- I dont smoke- I tried once, to be cool of course and I sucks man, how do you guys do it? dont say oral fixation- b/c we ALL have that... yummy food, kissing, talking, whatever- we use our mouths like its our job- and as people it kinda is... think about it. I like to be creative and pretend to stick to certain things.. but then i forget about it and move on... I have lived a good life with a strong family background, good dedicated schooling as well as having been the rebellious kid that snuck out to at night (I know- badass) even though I didnnt have a curfew.. hmmm well, liked the wild- free life.. whatever that even means. Make fun of me all you want- I'll just do it right back. Dont take anything too seriously- seriously, ha Why do people do that? Some things, when you think about it, can EASILY be fixed and made up for immediately! You gotta respect people and realize that everyone has limitations, moods, etc. and people MAKE MISTAKES- you will, she will,etc, its part of learning- you have to do it wrong to know just how amazing it feels to do it right! Give people chances, people do change! They are alwways changing- also remember that your not exactly what you want yourself to be (who really knows what that even is) and its OKAY and GOOD that other people arent exactly what you want them to be too. They can't be- because you dont even know what you want from them and then if you get it, youll probably not even want it anymore... Yeah i know. Im having a pretty good day today- slept till noon (too late OMG) then helped the kid I took care of last night out, fed him, wished him on his way- ironically he stayed on my couch... nothing to do with couchsurfin... and then I went running, eating my veggies (food for FUEL MY FRIENDS) gym, and now Im hanging out with my ipod- andy milinakis, authority zero, techno, allanismorsette, whatever comes up, giddy and happy to be writing my profile on this thing. So yeah- thats a little tidbit about me and my good-ish mood on this grand-ol' saturday at about 6 pm... i dont even know if im central or eastern time.. because i dont even know what that MEANS. wtf? but i think that people should have an ANTI-TOW mechanism on their car as well as a 24 hour library and hire baton throwers at their parties. but thats just ideas I came up with last night after taking too much cold medicine, on purpose. I like philosophers ideas- I think, therefore I am. Descartes was so right. I love surfing, just not caring the board- isn't that representative of life though? I better stop before my fingers fall off... I havent spent this much time typing in sequence since I was in 8th grade on AIM...

Ill leave you with that.. Oh and my ultimate SN's were: PAZZERS ( a word I love to this day and made up myself.. its my myspace..) and UGLYFATLOSERBOY... which was hilarious because I fell in love with someone through AIM and they didnt even know what a girl chick i was just that I was some freak with uglyfatloserboy as their alter-ego sn who had wayyy to much time to waste after-school. who didnt?! WHO DIDNT! I still did gymastics, tennis and track- yeah and I can walk around on my hands now.. and i do it far too often for my age- whatever man. I love animals- I love dogs and can make them listen to me! I even love kids.. duh they are live forms of fun. They'll try to understand and be honest with you! We need to be like that more. I talk fast and I hope that people understand my good intentions- usually they do... then they get confused and dont. or they dont right away. I love wife-beaters... why do we call it that? and stretchy pants. I need sunlight and hot weather as well as jokesters, strong people, funny ready to do whatever travelers and people who know alot about the world. Just dont try to tell me to stop. Unless you do it with honesty and nice-ness. Be nice people- and open minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love people. I love to help and talk and be there. So do that for me?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am obsessed with my own couch- just started sleeping in my bed in the last week. I love having friends on my couch, people who need it etc.

Interests

I hope you caught it from my ALLABOUTYOU section: animals, laughing, jokes, society, people, how the world works, why peace is an illusion and war is man-made, why community works, how change is everythign as well as possible, how the word always is redicious, why i ask so many questions, who isn't interested in things, why hot people are my favorite but only if they are kick ass... so kickass people are better in general. Im also interested in life-fullfillment aka enjoying myself, having those around me enjoy themselves and be part of a loving, accepting, strong, athletic, healthy life of jokes and taking over the world
