ABOUT ME

I am a very open minded person. I get along well with most people and enjoy meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to surf and host people from around the world. I would love to attend more CS gatherings but the Baton Rouge CS crowd seldom does anything and New Orleans is far and unfamiliar to me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since I joined I have met many awesome locals and travelers. I was so happy to meet people from Turkey and Germany at my first CS meet-up! I have since been able to host as well and have really enjoyed it. I have yet to surf but hope to do that as well soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm amazed that so many people heard about this site before me LoL.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to do anything with a computer. If your computer won't work. I can fix it! Want it to work better? I can do that!

I can teach you how to ride a wheelie on a sport bike or a stoppie or how to go 150+ mph until the thrill of speed outweighs the fear of death!

I can teach you about the 28 billion light years in diameter visible universe which contains within it our galaxy, the milky way, which although contains billions of stars is only one galaxy among billions of other galaxies in the visible universe, each of which also contains billions of stars.

I can teach you that all that glitters is not gold.

I can teach you about the formation of this portion of the Universe 14 billion years ago, the formation of our solar system nearly 5 billion years ago with it's super-massive black hole at it's center, the formation of the earth around 500 million years later, the evolution of the earth from 4.5 billion years ago till now, the beginnings of life on earth from 4.4 to 3.5 billion years ago, the evolution of life on earth up until now.

I can teach you the history of humanity from our earliest forms until now, the history of all known human civilizations and cultures up till now and the structure of human societies at various times in pre-history.

I can teach you of the nature of reality itself, of the warping of spacetime, of seething infinities of infinite energy, of the bizarre uncongenialities of quantum realities, of the subatomic basis for all things and of the strange reality that there are probably many other dimensions invisible to us and many other, possibly infinitely other, parallel universes.

I can teach you of the future ramifications of the effect of subatomic quantum entanglement, better known as "Spooky Action at a Distance".

I can teach you how when those guys in the Mexican border towns want to set you up with their sister, it's not always really their sister.

I can teach you what the future will be like with it's augmented reality, augmented biology and augmented democracy, of a time in the near future when more humans live off earth than on earth, of the cars and planes and spaceships that will drive or fly themselves to where ever we wish to go, of the nanotechnology that will be able change anything into anything else and the uses humanity will have for that, of the future humans who will escape the bounds of our solar system as they have long since escaped the bonds of mortality and of a time when the earth will no longer support life merely 2.3 billion years from now or less.

I can teach you about one of the few pieces of major scientific hardware we have in louisiana, LIGO - the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory.

I can teach you about "swarm intelligence" which I think has a good possibility of being a new and dramatically different form of government in the future.

I can teach you how in the future all the landfills and currently useless matter that we now think of as a problem will become a valuable resource since with the use of nanotechnology we will be able to rearrange atoms within molecules to change pretty much anything into anything else. I do not believe we would wish to break down all our rocks and trees or even dirt etc to manufacture new items but instead use the waste that is being generated and conveniently stored for future generations by us now :-).

*I will rely heavily on internet connection while teaching you these things :-)- Just as I use it to teach myself.
