About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Utilizing and expanding my social skills and mastering the Harmonica (mouth harp). Make the cat the happiest cat in the world.. although I think that's an automatic fail.

ABOUT ME
I am, kind of, a demi-god. I give people access, through my work, to the origins of life, water. Yes, I'm a plumber. A damn good one. I may be the best in the world, as long as if you know no other plumbers and only listen to me.

PHILOSOPHY
We only live once and are destined to play in this rigged chair-game. We might as well try to have some fun with it (key word is try). Relationships are poison and should be avoided at all cost. No good can come of that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I try to be as helpful as possible. The vastness of the possibility is debatable.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been doing this for quite a while, perhaps for the wrong reasons, perhaps for the right reasons, depends on how one looks at it. Now I just want to focus on advancing my harmonica (mouth harp) capabilities.

Interests

Movies and documentaries, general information, current affairs, some other cultures, the harp (harmonica), people, the human mind, animal psychology, human sexuality, computers and technology, science in general, music and so forth. Although my biggest interest is the fat jiggly-pig I live with known as the black-cat. He is a genius (on the cat scale).

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies/Series:
Archer (2009) - Series
Drawn together (2004 - 2008) - Series
Equilibrium (2002)
Snatch (2000)
Fight club (1999)
Lock stock and two smoking barrels (1998)
Cube (1997)
Trainspotting (1996)
Cabin Boy (1994)
The Ren & Stimpy show (The gross misadventures of a hyper chihuahua and a stupid cat. 1991) - Series

Basically movies that have an excellent concept behind them, along with oddities and a sick sense of humor.

Music:
I basically listen to all types of music, yet my brain decides for me whether or not I like a particular song. I part take nothing in the process hence I just accept command.

Books: Yeah.. Not really a big reader of books. I have this thing that when I start reading a book I get really really sleepy. It takes me forever to finish a book. Apparently that is a thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have survived the rigged chair-game for 39 years. I have been trying to pick up the harmonica for a while, on and off. I did get pretty far, back in the days, with Turbo Pascal 7.0 until the government, through the educational system, destroyed that. I have lost about 30 kilos in the last 2 years. There is quite a lot of things that I have done, yet to claim it to be amazing.. well that is quite subjective. Perhaps it's just normal stuff. I also stole someones pet, as the person was in violation of Icelandic law by not attending to the veterinary requirements of the animal. The cat now lives with me and is getting much, much better. The guy was also somewhat considering putting the cat down, at the gentle age of 7.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a couple of things about some things. Mostly irrelevant things but sometimes a nugget of gold pops out. I like to sponge on information through documentaries.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Shelter? Entertainment (depending on ones definition and requirements). Perhaps even food, if I have any.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Denmark, Sweden, United Kingdom
