CURRENT MISSION

to understand my place in the grand macrocosm

ABOUT ME

i'm an itinerant. i recently quit my job to pursue travelling as my full-time profession. i think perspective is everything, and what better way to inform perspective than by learning the philosophies of people that live far and wide. chillin with a cold pint and good conversation is one of my favorite things to do. not much of a party-guy, but i do like checking out live bands as much as possible. also, just started doing the whole couchsurfing thing, so lacking in references at the moment, but hopefully that will change over the next month as i actually get start getting out there!

PHILOSOPHY

always re-writing this, so i hate to say something now only to change it next week. all i know is you need to make the most of the time you have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

music - too much to do any justice here. on my playlist now: pavement, okkervil river, q & not u, the smiths, ted leo, arcade fire, the clientele, crystal castles, into another, jackie mittoo, lifetime, mstrkrft, the field, hot snakes, love of diagrams, !!! and justice (ironically!)
books - last books i read were buddha of suburbia, the brothers karamazov, and candide (and not for school!)
movies - hmmm, sci-fi, horror, and other such nonsense - some fav's are lord of the rings, the royal tenenbaums, aliens, and most danny boyle flicks
