Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Being a nomad and finding the optimal place to spend the rest of my life
ABOUT ME
I like chewing gum and writing code that doesn't crash. Sometimes I play songs for my friends, I like to improvise. Then we all laugh and pretend my lyrics are as fabulous as Bob Dylan's. They are. I kid you not.
Sometimes I like sarcasm and irony. A friend and I just wrote a new song, 'life is difficult'. If you wanna hear it, I will sing it for you.
PHILOSOPHY
I see a vision of a great rucksack revolution thousands or even millions of youngsters wandering around with rucksacks, going up to mountains to pray, making children laugh and old men glad, making young girls happy and old girls happier, all of 'em Zen Lunatics who go about writing poems that happen to appear in their heads for no reason and also by being kind and also by strange unexpected acts keep giving visions of eternal freedom to everybody and to all living creatures...

Music, Movies, and Books
I like reading the stories of Holden Caulfield. Books. Yes. A whole lot of them. I just want to read everything. I am curious about novels. Lately I've been reading less novels and more business books and all that stuff. But I get motivated to read some stuff again anyway and so now I'm reading the Dharma Bums. So... my favorite book is The Catcher in the Rye.
Movies. Yes. Movies... Ermm. I don't really watch that many movies. Usually, I watch movies that people have recommended to me. Also Into the Wild and On The Road are pretty cool movies.
As for music: The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Smiths, The Black Keys, The Pixies, Nirvana, Bright Eyes, Arctic Monkeys, dEUS, Balthazar, Admiral Freebee, Oasis, Bob Marley, Bon Iver, The Cure, Damien Rice, Death Cab, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, ... Mostly 'guitar' music. :)
Food = good.
