About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Host CSers coming to San Francisco!

ABOUT ME

I have done the CS and Hospitality Club thing since I was 21, starting in 2006 for the World Cup in Germany, and I had the time of my life there! Hosting and traveling with CS is something I really enjoy doing on occasion.

PHILOSOPHY

0) Two heads are better than one

1) A rolling stone gathers no moss

2) Nothing good happens after midnight

3) No good deed goes unpunished

4) 'It's my (Boethius) belief that history (fortune) is a wheel. "Inconsistency is my very essence" -says the wheel- "Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don't complain when you are cast back down into the depths. Good times pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it is also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away".'

5) I try to live my life as an EXCLAMATION as a means for EXPLORATION. (Ask Góska, I stole this from her, I have no idea what she is talking about, but she's Polish so that's ok.)

6) Moderation. And moderation, in moderation.

7) Never trust a skinny cook, (or a tan programmer LOL).

Music, Movies, and Books

::𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙨:: Documentaries in general. My favorite movie is probably '24 Hour Party People'.

::𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘:: I like almost everything, even some country music, like Ryan Adams. Pretty much anything that makes you feel, think or dance. Love Hip Hop and electronic and old and new rock and roll. Definitely not into jazz or classical, yet, although I have tried. I try to keep a very open mind with music.

::𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨:: I usually read non-fiction though. Here are my books: https://www.goodreads.com/denman

Teach, Learn, Share

I have finally learned to listen carefully to other people, which I highly suggest doing for many reasons.
