CURRENT MISSION Intercontinental hopscotch ABOUT ME Mellow guy wanting to tap the deep wellspring of joy beneath the surface. One day after watching Before Sunrise and being devastated by it, I decided, "Fuck it, I have to do this," and here I am. PHILOSOPHY In the words of Kurt Vonnegut, "Goddammit, you've got to be kind."

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm interested in hanging out with local CS people and out-of-towners and surfing in other countries, but I haven't done so yet. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I don't know if this counts, but I slept under a piano once.
Music, Movies, and Books
At the moment I'm listening to Terry Riley's A Rainbow in Curved Air, watching the third season of Breaking Bad and reading The Crying of Lot 49.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
When I was a young boy, my friend's lawyer father had the greatest combover I had ever seen. He would sweep the remaining strands of his hair across his scalp and secure them with Brylcreem. After an afternoon dip in the pool, he would emerge with scalp exposed and dash inside to find his jar.
My Interests
I am super enthusiastic about anything related to human creativity: books, movies, comics, music, video games, etc. Milkshakes in tall tin cups are also of interest to me. I adore animals, especially dogs. And the rain! Always the rain.
