CURRENT MISSION

Stop Thinking Like an American, Start Thinking About Humanity

ABOUT ME

I write stories combining popular heroes and morality/ideology/politics at www.fanfiction.net under the name Red Tale. I write Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, and Static Shock. I also have a YouTube page under the name RedTale9.

PHILOSOPHY

Dialectical Materialism, not money/possessions but matter, things existing and in motion.
"According to many followers of the theories of Karl Marx (or Marxists), dialectical materialism is the philosophical basis of many strands of Marxism. The name, which was never used by Marx himself, refers to the social and economic change as the result of material forces dialectics and materialism." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectical_Materialism

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed and I attend some of the gatherings in Chicago.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2007 I stayed in Rhode Island, it was an awesome experience (See reference left for others). The couch surfing aspect of my stay was as exciting as the event I was in town to attend, I met great people and they contributed so much to my experience.
In 2008 I went to Toronto and stayed with a couch surfer there. She was very good as well (see references), and really showed me the potential of this network. I'm trying to be more involved locally in Chicago, and have met some of the people here too.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I worked the premiere for The Dark Knight in Chicago, in which the directer attended along with people dressed as Batman and The Joker. That was awesome enough, but when another waiter inadvertently cleaned up "Batman's" table and threw away his "Bat-Towel", I got to say, "Dude, don't fuck with Batman's shit!" (we did find the towel and return it).
