About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I had a mission once, but I forget what it was

ABOUT ME

I love being silly. I love being serious. Separately or at the same time.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's short. Why not?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm mostly interested in the events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few surfers in BsAs. Great experience.

Interests

Having fun.

movies: anything that moves me, either intellectually or emotionally. kurosawa is my favorite director. i loved bottle rocket. i like the idea of porn, but the production is such shit. someone needs to make some good porn.

books: i thought the marquis de sade was interesting, and as a philosopher his logic is irrefutable, but he's not to my taste. the critical pedagogy reader. paulo friere. the story of o. the master and margarita. shakespeare. dostoyevski (of course), and tolstoy. kundera. gloria naylor. annie dillard. sartre, although nausea screwed with my head in a bad way. walker percy. gertrude stein. saul bellow. eugene o'neill's plays.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fathering a child.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hang around me long enough and you're bound to learn something, I suppose. Though I can't say what because it's different for everyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't even have a couch, just some space on the floor. I'm in the Lang Ha area.
