About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting out of this everyday life

ABOUT ME

I love my work - that is, writing philosophical and critical essays, reading, thinking, discussing. That means, I don't know by now if it can be the work I earn my money with, speaking of a secure job during my life. Certainly it's the thing I am up to, right now in a big project called doctoral thesis.
And I love to ... go out dancing, attend mainly subcultural concerts, meet with friends, besides of course travelling, experience foreign cities, and dive into other cultures.
When getting to know people, I'm usually slow, wait for getting closer, I am not the guy to tell about everything in the first hours. But if I feel comfortable with others, I like to talk long and deep.
Well, and I spend much time in reading, theatre, movies, music. I am engaged in political activism.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to not collaps in the hard ways of our culture
