About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Destroy my Reality and Get Lost in my Imagination

ABOUT ME

I crave the aquintance of:
Pirates, Indians, Princesses, Peter Pan's, Queens,
Angels, Demons, Imps, Dwarfs, Tricksters, Magicians, Ghosts and other Imaginative Figures (places) who exist in Fairy Tales:

Also I believe these imaginary figures to be more real than the names and titles we give ourselves...

1. ALICE in - Alice and the Looking Glass.
2. The Phantom in - The Phantom of the opera.
3. Marilyn Manson in - Born Villain.
4. Alexander Super Tramp in - Into the Wild.
5. The Beast in - Beauty and the Beast.
6. The Serpent in - The Garden of Eden.
7. Nick Traina in - His bright light.
8. Satan in - the plan of salvation.
9. The Swan in - The Ugly Duckling.
10. Christy Diablo - in the stage of my own life.

* HAROD & JEZEBELL in - The Haunted Castle
* DAVID & PLUTO in - Diamonds
* The EAGLE & The DOLPHIN in - The Eagle and the Dolphin.
* The STRANGER in - Kings and Queens.
* SALAAM in - Immemorial.

(*Figures in Fairy Tales that I wrote.)

I ache to live in the wilderness full time.
I miss my home. The esquisit waterfalls, the powerful ocean's, the soothing streams, the adventurious mountains, the rugged desert, and the humid jungle.
I have lived in the wilderness before, and expect to do so again, this time with my people.

Life is a dream, a waking dream, a day dream that we have created with our collective belief systems.
I want to destroy the reality that I am stuck in.
I want to live in a fairy tale, a fairy tale that I have created for myself.
I want to believe in a reality that is imagination, and find a lover, or blood brother there.

I want to make up my own religion, and then find someone who will break everyone of my commandments, and destroy all my beloved world - views.

I want to follow my basic instincts, and live my life, with whatever sub - conscious urge comes up inside me.
I want to find others who want this too.
I want to get lost in my imagination and lose my ability to tell the difference between reality, and fantasy.

Morals are like building a sky scraper on a fault line of an earthquake. Don't expect a safe ending.

I think the monothiestic Christian - Islamic Dogma's are the most dangerous, and worst invention of the last 2,000 - 3,000 years.

I want to die, to experience death, the greatest mystery of all, the epic adventure of the unknown.
I want to go to that place called death that is imagination, that is reality, that is a dream...
I want to experience my own death, with another watching me.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't just "play pretend." Dare to feel "reality" melting away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to live in a tribe before I die.
I want to lucid dream, and never wake up.
I wish to meet someone who is obsessed with their own imagination.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There is a place, just outside of regulations, and far away from the comfort of a couch cushin.
If you'd like I could take you there sometime?...
But you'd have to promise to keep this a secret...
...because it's very sacred there.
Now if you'll just relax, and close your eyes,...

Interests

You've felt this too...far away...insatciable needs...let it all go...

I am very very very very interested, in finding that place again. (the place that gives me permission to be myself.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Reality? Doctor, Lawyer, Judge? Or Spidermen, Vampires, and Pirates?

One of the most amazing things that I've ever done, is slip into the 'fantasy' realm of youth. Because of their capacity for intense imagination, the 'pretend' world of a child, can actually be experianced as being entirely real.

---------------------------------------------------

There was one time in particular that I was sitting in the liberary, and a gentleman walked passed with his little girl trailing behind him.
The tiny girl was about 4 or 5, and the man was preoccupied with whatever it was that he was doing. (I myself admit to being preoccupied as well)
So this duo, walked back and forth several times before asending the staircase. Apparently they did not find what the man was looking for, because they returned very shortly.
The man was hurried as he decended the stairs, while the little girl, was humming some tune in her head. (at this point I was finally paying attention) She had a hop in her step, and as she bounced from one stair to another, she would pause and look down.
I didn't think she had noticed me observing her, which made the next event, all the more shocking for me.
As she neared the bottom of the stairs, she abruptly paused her humming, turned her head slowly, bent her knees, placed her finger to her lips,(the universal sign for keep quiet) and then blew me a kiss, before running off to catch up with the gentleman.
(the unexpectedness of the event took several moments to register, and then I burst out laughing - with no one else around to hear me, it was one of my most joyous laughs.)
(somewhere else, outside of my hearing range, I could hear her laughing too.)
