Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My participation is a history-the-making... My relationship and participation with the project are new, for now.

The last couch surfing experience that I had resulted in a new house-mate...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies. Period. I don't have favourites. Nor do I have the kind of brain that catologues movies - or music...
I love music that makes me think. And I love music that makes me want to work.
I read anything that I can get my hands on; and that I can put down and come back to without having to revisit what I've already consumed...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a big, fat, full, harvest moon hanging over the Atlantic ocean. And I've had beautiful, smart women trust me. Everything else pales in comparison. So far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm ready - and hungry - to learn anything. We used to live in a world - well, not 'we', but 'people' - where you could be an "expert" on any given topic... You could literally read every book ever writen on any topic. We no longer live in that world.
But we do live in a wold of percieved "expertise"... A world where we go to Dr. Phil for advice instead of Uncle Phil.
I do not believe there is such thing as an expert anymore. And that excites me. I know a lot about a lot, and nothing about everything (macro or micro); and I'm willing to share it all.
