CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a 24 year old bloke/guy/fellow/piá/man/garoto/chap/dude from Amsterdam. I love music (well who doesn't), theatre and films I also play music (recently I have discovered the joys of playing the Ukulele), and I love videogames.

Also I am getting more and more into food. Didnt care that much when I was young, now I realize a good meal or coocking for someone can really make you the happiest guy in the world. Though I am pretty bad at cooking (I'm pretty good at eating however)

Also I'm a kind of "in my head" guy, can be extremely slow, living in my own world and not notice anything. And then al of a sudden it can turn around. Aren't we funny little creatures

PHILOSOPHY

Phew.. dont really have one, I live kind of day to day so what might be my philosopohy now will be something irrelevant tomorrow. Isn't it also a bit scary to live by definate rules and "thoughts"?

What I do think however; never let fright get between you and the thing you (would) love to do. Although it's very difficult to put it into practise

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I couldnt possibly pick one thing because Id feel bad towards the other cool things. So Ill pick one that happened recently in Tokyo. Met this guy at night in a sushibar in Shinjuku, I thought he was dressed up as a samurai but he was a musician. Got talking and we decided we would go out and perform on the streets. We walked some and suddely he was getting into a big fight (not physicly) with a couple of other musicians, because we were entering their turf! Altough I didnt understand a word I stayed with him but it took ages, finally a transvestite come to argue which was quite funny but also a bit scary because he was really aggresive, but also I thought we should get the hell out of there or else Yakuza might come or something. And it was my first day in Tokyo

And naughty Dutch and English words.
