About Me

CURRENT MISSION

think new thoughts and act in new actions

ABOUT ME

I'm generally pretty stoked in a rather quiet way. I keep the same opinions around who ever I am. :) Not at all to say that I don't love new perspectives or ideas, but more over, that I am rather close-minded about being open-minded!

I'm into listening to discussions and sometimes throwing in a thought here and there.

I like to think I am a very mature person, but I see the value of being immature at times. This is mainly in my wide range of humour/ amusement, but that is fine to me as long as I keep growing. Right?

PHILOSOPHY

Followthrough with your word, in action, belief and thought.

There are so many beautiful sides of life that need to be better focused on. Even ugly things or situations can have beautiful outcomes or ways to be seen. So..
Surround yourself with beauty, think beautiful thoughts, see beauty.
However, ignorance is not always bliss.

Last point: I find it much too easy to be a fence sitter and value everyone's arguments... Though recently have enjoyed playing devil's advocate when in discussions. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't done anything as of yet, but I am gettting myself in gear, very soon!

No false promises!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with some super rad gentlemen in San Francisco for a couple nights, with a couple friends.

I have stayed twice now with a lovely lass in Portland.

Last time in Portland a few friends and I hung out with Moses' and the gang, they were attending some swell CS meets and were the definition of what CS wants to be, I met a lot of cool folks that I would love to see again soon.

So far, by far, the most appealing way to travel!

Music, Movies, and Books

Haruki Murakami is the first author that comes to mind.

I still need to watch Manhattan and various other movies by Woody Allan and other passionate directors - though there is more to passions than just Paris, so please see beyond that statement.

I totally dig super heros', comics, new information

Music? Anything that keeps the energy flowing, energy can be many different forms or emotion. As long as I am moving or singing, I am liking it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will keep you posted, but so far...

I have been lucky and will continue to be lucky by meeting people all around this place that are great human beings.

Teach, Learn, Share

My progressive list:

First impressions are great to look back on.

Keep learning, don't stop learning. I don't believe that anyone can hold all knowledge there is to know. So... don't be intimidated of learning and be confident with what information you have obtained.
