CURRENT MISSION

Get more sleep. Play more music. Not necessarily in that order.

ABOUT ME

The lyrics of my songs probably give you a better idea of who I am than I could put down here. Check out http://www.mikefrankemusic.com/lyrics.cfm.

I try to be a good provider, a good Papa, a good husband, a decent friend, and I'm trying really hard to be a better musician.

PHILOSOPHY

Show me a paradox, I'll show you a Truth.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I'm just a mooch, looking for a couch to share so that I can save money on a guitar workshop in July (2011). However, I do have spare room in my house, and once we've finished our current remodeling project, I hope to open our doors to couch surfers. In particular, I'd like to raise the average age of participants just slightly...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Zero. Nada. Looking forward to changing that.

兴趣

These days I'm interested in keeping up with life. With a more-than-full-time job, two 9-year-old kids, a wife who works two jobs and is a student to boot, I still try to get exercise (including Aikido) write songs, get gigs, .... man, this is making me tired.

音乐、电影和书籍

Just finished the first three books of Sergey Lukyanenko's "Night Watch" series, and I'm now on to the "Last Watch" when it comes in. Also reading "The Canticles of Lebowitz". Mostly when I read for fun I read fantasy, and I prefer new twists on magic.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Well, our trips to Kazakhstan come to mind.

教，学，和分享

I can teach beginning guitar. I know a little about computers. I'm a good listener, and a better mediator than a negotiator. I can teach a little about Aikido. I make a great Greek Salad.
