I am here for Dating and Friends

About Me

I'm a guy that wants lots of things out of life, but doesn't want a lot of things. Travelling around the world allows me to try to find my place in it. I am in search of the purpose of searching for purpose. When I'm lazy, I like to find the beautiful places and stop searching until I get motivated again.

My Interests

Travel, playing guitar, cooking, and surviving

I'd like to meet:

People with stories to tell. What's yours?

Music:

I'm too detached from the current Amerikan music industry to accurately answer this question right now. Any preference I put would be several months old.

Television:

None

Books:

Surrealism and Satire, or satirical surrealist books. Chuck Pahlaniuk (Survivor, Fight Club all of them), Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting, Glue, Porno), The Hope Valley Hubcap King (A glimpse at enlightenment), On Bullshit (a literary analyses of the word, its meanings, and a discussion of that which is not bullshit.), The Life of Pi (Shipwreck survivor, may be based on a true story [with a little enlightenment if you look hard]) Ham on Rye (Charles Bukowski, crack open the whiskey)

My Blog

I haven’t updated in a while

I've made it to Costa Rica. I've got a nice little room to myself and free internet. Now I just need to figure out what to do for the next few days. I move in with my host family on Sunday with class ...

I bought my tickets

As of Mid-October, I will be moving back to Waikiki. I hate winter and would like to avoid it as much as possible, which I've successfully done for the past three years. Jesus -- for three years, I've...

Humphrey McGoo and the New Tattoo

On Monday I had the day off and went to Concord to get a new tattoo.  It seemed necessary.  I got an old-school swallow on my right pec, blue top, red bottom.   On Tuesday, I saw Umphre...

skipper tossed a lasso

Yesterday, Beth and I spent far too long on a bus, but this story starts before that. The two of us were on Ko Samet on Wed and started talking.  She hadn't been feeling well.  Among other t...

The world has flipped over completely

The world has flipped over completely. When I last wrote, I talked about the long walk and the troubles I had gone through to get to my place to stay in Australia.  Since then, it seemed like a g...

first time in my life

I have never walked so much in my life. 20km on Wed, 20km on Thur, 20 km on Fri. In the last two weeks, I've hitched the whole of the North Island of NZ and 1000km up the Australian coastline. I spent...

Hitching NZ Complete

I'm in Auckland now (well, Mt. Eden).  I'm staying at the Oaklands again.  I got from Whanganui (an hour north of Wellington) to Auckland in two rides.  I was getting a bit discouraged ...

What happens in Whanganui

I decided to follow around Bernie and leave Wellington to explore the north island a little bit more. I left my (not shitty) job and said goodbye to the other girl that I was talking to, Luise. I was ...

Whanganui

Things haven't gotten simpler, but definately more interesting.  My friend, Beth, is currently somewhere in the Northern part of the North Island.  She e-mailed me saying that she was having...
