PHILOSOPHY

Religious Views: Monkey
Political Views: Bacon

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom ~ Anais Nin

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal ~ Oscar Wilde

A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction ~ Oscar Wilde

An excellent man; he has no enemies; and none of his friends like him ~ Oscar Wilde

I wanna live. I don’t wanna die. That’s the whole meaning of life: Not dying! I figured that shit out by myself in the third grade ~ George Carlin

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I do not have a couch to contribute (my dog has issues with sharing our humble abode!) I can be your tour guide for one of America's coolest cities!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed on plenty of friend's couches over the years!
