About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find out what I'd like to do in my life :)

ABOUT ME

All about me? Hmm.. this'll be a bit tricky. Well. Let's make a list about some of my precious things.

Friends, gigs, good "old-style" dinners with interesting people, books, yoga (if i have time - what a paradox), photographs, walking around, parks, singing, cultural events, home, coffee, human rights, movies, new cultures/ways of living, debates (usually friendly ones;)), good wine, good company, good life.

PHILOSOPHY

I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists
elsewhere is that none of it has tried to contact us yet.
- Bill Watterson

I've lived and experienced life. That's quite amazing, isn't it?

I'd like to learn whatever you want to teach me :)
