This just in... A man has written a multitude of words in the space to follow. More in a minute. Now a word from our sponsors...

"When you play the system with so many arcade hits, you're playing with power! The Nintendo Entertainment System Deluxe Set! Batteries not included. Other games sold separately. Your parents help you hook it up."

Keeping death at bay seems to occupy my time. I work and pay bills. I eat and sleep. I like to make an adventure out of a boring day. I don't dwell in the past nor do I worry about the future. I just find out what today has in store and deal with it until bedtime.

The hamburger is the best idea to come to the food world. It is quite a versatile sandwich. It takes a certain kind of person to see beauty in a hamburger bun. I am one of those people. Don't put eggs on it, near it, or served to me at all. I'm not particularly fond of them, neither from my head nor down to my legs. I do not like them, Sam I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be where the people are.
I want to see them dancing and walking around on those,

Whaddya call 'em?

Oh, feet.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not a conventional reader. I read shampoo bottles, the fine print that follows an asterisk, articles of interest on websites/news outlets, or anything that someone says, "Dude, this book would interest you. No, seriously."

I am more or less genre non-specific when it comes to movies. I'll judge a movie on its trailer. If it can hook me in 120 seconds, the movie deserves a chance. I will not go see a movie based on direction of thumbs nor the number of stars it receives. I am my own critic. Why doesn't someone pay me? Is my opinion worth nothing? I will most likely not see anything with Clive Owen. Go see 'Closer.' Now do you understand?

I think TV can be summed up here: I'm a good ol' boy, never meanin' no harm. I know the truth is out there. I know there's always money in the banana stand. I like to hear what Ziggy's predictions are. I can see that is an ex-parrot. I can list everyone in the Robot Roll Call. I am the master of my domain.

My music choices can best be described by Donny and Marie Osmond:
I'm a little bit Country, I'm a little bit Rock & Roll.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm excellent at walking. I have been doing it for over 35 years and I think I could be considered a pro at it even though I have not won any medals nor been paid to do it. I have never forgotten how to accomplish this feat and believe that I have the stamina to keep it up for at least another 50 years.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain
