CURRENT MISSION

My mission... hmm! To grow, and to learn!

ABOUT ME

I am a lover of knowledge, i have always tried to better myself and I will be a student until my time on this earth has passed! I love to read, enjoy music and I take my greatest pleasures from the subtle things. I am compassionate and caring, i try to do my best to help ever, and hurt never. University didnt work for me, and so i currently work for my family, in Nisku, Alberta, Canada about a 20 min, drive south of Edmonton.

I have had many highs and lows and i love to have fun. Travel has always been something i wanted to do but it just never happened (only in my books) and the time has come to do it!

I am blessed with a beautiful and caring girlfriend who is wise beyond her years. I love life. I have have a tremendous desire to grow, if we stop learning and growing, we may as well give up right? I've studied religions a great deal (mythology, some psychology, and i love history) and I have found toaism to make the most sense to me. I care about people and I truly we should all grow together. I try to be a polymath and study a variety of topics. I am a sponge !

PHILOSOPHY

I could try to sum it up with this bit by R.Kipling!

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just getting started here, not quite sure how it all works!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In retrospect i actually hosted 2 german girls that passed through edmonton. They were awesome, when the time came, i drove them downtown where they rented a car and headed east. Pretty cool experience now that i recall it. Oh and drunk friends always passing out on my couch as I live close to one of the sort of cultural/party parts of this city, Old Strathcoa lol.
