ABOUT ME

THIS DESCRIPTION IS SUUUUPER OLD - A NEW ONE IS IN PROGRESS

well, what should i say?! people call me crazy....

hmmm... but i think since the winter's here, i've calmed down a little... just waiting for spring! ;)

ummmm... i really love my job, i'm one of the few goldsmiths left in switzerland... and the fact that i only work three days a week gives me much space for some fun jobs or other things i enjoy...
i love sports; i go out a lot with my bike in summer... i surf as soon as i get the chance to reach the sea (although we surf the rivers here!! ... but it's just not the same..)and i do some kung fu.

i enjoy everything that sounds like fun and i always try to motivate people to be as spontaneous as me... but... well, swiss people are hard to convince sometimes.. ;) (...i feel those swiss roots pretty often, but i work very hard on ignoring them...haha!)
i love making decisions under the impulse of the moment.... and i'd love to make them more often...

dunno... i think all the other stuff you should ask someone else.. or just meet me to find out yourself ;)

oh... and i change my hair like other people change their underwear... heheh...

PHILOSOPHY

life is a journey. enjoy the ride!!

again:

LIFE IS A JOURNEY. ENJOY THE RIDE!!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

i love japanese mangas, books as same as movies... favourite is miyazaki. i'm a comic-addict (but only with few nice comics) and a big reader...i need to read 10 pages before going to sleep...
i love harry potter, i'm a fan of c. bukowski and h.murakami, but i read so much, i just can't make a serious list here..

i like movies with jonnie depp, and not just because he looks so good, he's a great actor.... and i like some "cult" movies like all the tarantinos or, have you seen lock, stock and two smoking barrels? or snatch? was that guy richie? aaaaand i looooooove animation-movies (especially the ones from pixar)

music..hmm.. i like a lot.. some heavier stuff like system of a down, queens of the stone age or foo fighters.. my brother always tries to make me listen to some real heavy metal..crazy metalhead.. but i just don't like it..
i love to go to festivals in summer. and there has to be some rock to make me happy ;)
...or some d'n'b for parties, like pendulum... oh, and prodigy i like a lot!
but also som chillin' stuff.. we have a great musician here in berne.. mich gerber. he's amazing...
