ABOUT ME

I'm an artist in Brooklyn, NY. I've been busy moving around for several years, but I now live in NYC most the time and like it. I want to make sure my time is well spent.

PHILOSOPHY

"Rain follows the plow."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Medieval Epic Poetry

• poetry

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently: creative projects that I can help with, being pro, Arthurian legend, photography, film, darkness taken lightly.

All that follows is severely dated. But, you know, you can't freeze frame the progress of the mind, and I'm just not that good at status updates. I leave it because on Couchsurfing I believe it's better to give people a chance to make erroneous assumptions about you based on your frankness, than it is to let your poetic inclinations insure misinterpretation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's a lot to do. I figure it's not exactly good form for me to evaluate what I've done.

I've never learned anything truly important from someone who was conscious of what they were teaching.
