About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Move. See. Experience. Survive. Should do for awhile.

ABOUT ME

I want to see as much as I can. Not the landmarks, the most famous places, not the must-see-well-known museums/castles/towers (but, of course, if they're nice - why not?) I want to meet people; talk to them, or maybe just watch how they live and behave. I want to learn how their life is. Different from mine? The same? When I feel this need to move, I move. Even for few days, I go somewhere. Why not, after all?

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live; oh, by the way - try to make this life as enjoyable as possible for you and people around you. Let's just start with the simple things, shall we?

Interests

1. Books. It's not an interest, it's an addiction.
2. Writing. Everything. Where I was, what I did, what I read, what I saw...
3. Travels. Going somewhere, sitting on a square or in a park and looking at people.
4. Physics. Trying to understand as much as I can.
5. Cats. Hedgehogs. Animals. This should be probably point 1 or even 0.
6. Postcards and letters. To people I know and to some strangers on some exchange sites.
7. Photography - when I can't write, I "talk" to others with photos.

Music, Movies, and Books

*Books* - probably too many to write here. Favourite? Catch-22 or Fear and Loathing or Informers or Night Watch or Inne Piesni or In Cold Blood or Virgin Suicides or Neuromancer or... It all depends on the day, I guess.
*Comics* - Watchmen, Love&Rockets (Las Locas), Fun Home, Batman.
*Movies* - American Beauty, Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream, Trainspotting, Memento, Alien, Mulholland Drive, ...
*Music* - Klezmer & traditional Jewish music, Metallica, ACDC, The Doors, Alice in Chains.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Streets of Porto, colours of Portugal, quiet, serene cemeteries of Wales, just walking there, looking, feeling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Polish. Anyone wants to learn? It's not THAT difficult. Or Physics. Not that diffic... Just joking. I can share everything I've learnt and all I remember from the books I've read or from people I've talked to. And we can bake some healthy, almost-diet cakes if you want to.
