CURRENT MISSION To meet as many people and to go to as many places as possible to insure to myself that we're all really alike. ABOUT ME I try to look at life through my dogs eyes. I see hope, angst, love, empathy and apathy all at the same time. I only wish I had the ability to do it. I have been surounded by death all my life. I've buried most of my family (hope that comes out right). I know despair and heartache like no other... yet I am always upbeat and always look on the bright side of life. I love my job cause I make peoples memories, I have never in 5 years had a complaint. Kinda cool karma. PHILOSOPHY Never give up and just relax... you'll do fine.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I hitchhiked through out the USA when I was a teenager. My favorite place was with a friend of the family, Lolita, she lived in the projects in New Orleans and sold $1 joints out her kitchen window. She had no running water and things were really kinda scarry around there. She spread the word that I was cool and untouchable. Nobody messed with me and I got to be in a place with nightly gunfights without fear.
Music, Movies, and Books
Speaking of which... in no particular order - Haiisen, Bukowski, Vachhs, The Police, Paul Thorn (check him out), James Brown (The King), B.E.P.'s, (I think I single handedly shut down Napster from too many downloads... so you'll have plenty to listen to), The Jerk, Parenthood,Tomestone,Big Lebowski, Barfly, Commitments, Monty Python, What dreams may come, Adam Sandler and Office Space.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The birth of my son. The Grand Canyon Hike. Skydiving. Living longer than my whole family. More than one...sorry.
My Interests
I had a son very early on in my life. He is the single most important thing to me on this planet and has probly kept me here when things got bad. Now that he's older, in his teens, I can start to enjoy adventurous things again. In Dec. I want to start Skydiving School. I'm also planning to go to Europe in 2006. I love movies, music and books.
