I am dreaming, thinking, and acheiving.

My Self-Summary

I'm a vagabond, vegetarian, zen buddhist, who is living out his dream of having nothing to do and no where to go.

I was working as an Emergency Medical Technician in Detroit, Michigan for about 4 years before finally saying to hell with that life. I spent about 6 months preparing myself for an ultimate journey of self discovery.

I left June 1st with no plans of returning anytime soon.

I'm trying to utilize this site when I'm in a city for more than a few days. Technology can be used for something more meaningful than stalking okcupid profiles or hitting "random" on wikipedia for 6 hours straight. I've learned that most places you go to are pretty similar. It's the people that make travel worthwhile. I have the goal of meeting everyone on earth and I'm trying my best to make that happen.

If you're interested in my journey, check out my site at www.nomadiczen.com

What I’m doing with my life

I used to have a plan. I hated that plan from the day I wrote it down, but felt I had to do something socially acceptable in life.

One day I realized that my life was entirely in my control and if I don't grab ahold of it, I'll regret it one day.

So what am I doing with my life? I'm hitchiking around the country. I got rid of everything that wouldn't fit on my back and hit the road and haven't looked back yet.

I don't know what's going to come out of this, and I don't really care. I'd rather die on these streets than sell myself out to the idea that the american dream is what you need to fight for in life.

I walked that line before, and now it's time to walk another. To learn who you are, you have to challenge everything you believe in. Whatever holds up to the constant scrutiny is worth believing in. If this doesn't workout for me, I'll reanalyze what I'm doing and where I'm going.

I’m really good at

I'm really good at chilling, making folks laugh, adapting to new situations, and losing stuff.

I'm really bad at spelling and making plans.

The first things people usually notice about me

That I'm standing on the side of the road with a sign trying to get somewhere.

I also have a big beard, genuine smile, and pretty eyes.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: I only read when someone hands me a book and says, "here, read this." Currently reading "On The Road" by Kerouac. Finally people will stop saying "OH MY GOD, you never read On The Road?."

Movies: I rarely watch movies. I haven't owned a TV in 5 years. But, Requiem for a Dream, Johnny Got His Gun, Braveheart, 13th Flood, Dark City, Godfather 2, blah blah blabity blah

Music: Live music of any kind is usually pretty damn good. Music I can dance to comes next. I love hip-hop, psy-trance, folk, drum circles, classic rock, funk, and probably have something from every genre on my ipod.

Food: I'm a vegetarian and a pretty healthy one at that. I love Thai, Indian, Italian, Mexican, and pizza. Lots of fresh produce. All natural peanut butter. Sri Racha hot sauce. Craft beer.

The six things I could never do without

passion, humor, spontaneity, creativity, kindness, and love

As for tangible things. I need a rain pancho, a hat, a marker, a sleeping bag, a notebook, and change of underwear

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How the universe provides everything you need if you let it.
How I can turn my wanderlust into a sustainable lifestyle.
Where I'm going next.

On a typical Friday night I am

I don't know what time it is. I don't know what date it is. I barely know what month it is. Friday blurs into monday, saturday, and august.

But for the sake of answering the question the way it's intended I'll say dancing, drinking, talking, and laughing.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I never like this question. Anything that requires more than 30 seconds to think about should be avoided.

You should message me if

You're into dudes with beards.
You want to show me your city.
You want to suggest what I should see or do in your city.
You want to drive me somewhere.
