About Me

My name is Samson and I live a long ways away from you. "Act locally, think globally," yes but I am also Acting globally and thinking locally. Funny how that works. I try to "be the change I want to see in the world" but too often it is challenged with discourse, but Its okay- I always have hope. I got a Fulbright Scholarship and live in Indonesia. I dont know the language and consider it the greatest opportunity to find out what I am really made of and who I truly am. Also, It is a chance to inform and teach others about the pitfalls of capitalism (that there is another way), the presence of patriarchy , and the importance for equality both socially and economically. I find politics heartless and dis/encouraging and one of my primary focuses as everything is politics. I'm always open and honest and prefer to talk to people one-on-one, it seems the socials masks dissipate a little this way.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet : like minded individuals, anarchists, vegans, feminists, activists, bands, musicians, monks, seekers, lovers, optimists, anyone with my last name, Deepak Chopra, Jesse Michaels, Ian MacKaye, Steve Ignorant, Tim Armstrong, a long list of authors, and travelers. Oh and also anyone and everyone- we all have something to contribute to this world!
